I mean, strictly speaking anyone who does not 100% align with their assigned birth gender is trans. "trans" is a broad term and it doesn't mean just binary men and women. Any sort of non-binary person (and "not entirely male" certainly qualifies) is a kind of a trans person, by most people's reckoning.
That being said, I also know that some non-binary people do not like the label "trans", and if that's you, I respect that. But I think a lot of people mentally default to gender binary when they hear "trans", so I thought I'd point this out.
Generally, anyone not cis is trans, by definition.

Ah.
I had not heard that before. And I'd be willing to bet money that's something that still gets argued about (at least ftom what I've seen in other spaces).
John Allenson:
Yes, that is something that get's argued a lot. :-o
As a Intersex/non-binary person I used to participate in Trans spaces. It was always made abundantly clear to me that I was (at best) tolerated as an outsider. Due to testosterone I present as AMAB. Internally, it's more complicated than that.
I do not call myself either Trans or Cis and having someone outside my body assigning me an identity feels more like erasure than inclusion. It's feels similar to when someone "explains" to a transman that they're actually "just a butch woman". I don't think the majority of people doing it are malevolent
Gyrre:
Yeesh.
Not sure what to say that you don't already know about folks trying to stuff others into boxes is crappy no matter how well intentioned. Other than that, all I can do is give my condolences for the pain.

They are certainly quite rude
