This is like saying "bacon isn't meat, it's pork".

All "trans" means is not identifying as one's birth gender. As nobody is assigned a nonbinary identity at birth, nonbinary is effectively a subset of trans.

Their gender is, by definition, what they identify as. It's their birth sex that doesn't match. And the existence of intersex people proves not everyone is born as part of the binary, though they will often get treated as a boy or girl based on the parents' convenience.

Also, while it may be technically true that being non-binary would fit the definition of being trans for most people, not everyone in the non-binary community classifies themselves as trans, most likely because of the nuances among those communities. An agender person (who might not even consider themselves nonbinary) would have different thoughts, needs, and priorities from someone desiring a sex change, for example. Classifying gender identity is much more complicated than classifying meat.

What this all means is simple
Transgender is in the "LGBT+" rainbow, but the rainbow isn't transgender.
The fact there are people arguing that everyone who's sexual divergent from the binary is "Trams" is a gross oversimplification, and frankly the murmuring I've been hearing is the Gay/Lesbian, bi, inter, pan and nons all really want to distance themselves from Trans advocates since those people *Only* make it about themselves.

I think I'd be able to take an argument about the diversity and complexity of human experience a little more seriously from someone who hadn't referred to transness as a psychological disorder repeatedly, on multiple posts. Is there any amount of evidence that you would accept as proof that a character is trans? Does Mizuki need to look directly at the camera and say "I am transgender, and/or non-binary" in both English and Japanese?

Good point from Blank_User, though.

yeah apparently that's what it'll take, for some people.

They probably also need the main characters in yuri manga to turn and shout "I AM A LESBIAN" at the audience in order to know for sure that they're lesbians, instead of, y'know, seeing a girl passionately kiss another girl and deciding it's probably a safe assumption that she's a lesbian, like a normal person would do

Also I can very safely tell you that this is not true. I'm literally trans AND a lesbian. I swim almost exclusively in trans social circles and I've never seen any trans person who doesn't also care about the interests of other queer people and other minorities. There *are* some fringe groups of activists who are intent on excluding trans people but these groups are not by any means representative of queer people generally

Wonder if there's an Jeff Wayne The War of the Worlds Song in the style of Touhou.

Undoubtedly a fine portrait of a Polish Lancer, but of those who were Napoleonic auxiliaries: there was no Polish Army in the early 19th century --- and at most other times.

...You never heard of Duchy of Warsaw huh?

Car is real (well, save for the splitter, wing, and widebody treatment) and called the Polestar 1. It was a plug-in hybrid powered coupe with a ICE powering the front wheels and the rear wheels powered by an electric motor that could also torque vector the rear wheels. It was a very limited model with only 1500 made globally for its three years of production. It was also the first production vehicle for the Polestar brand (which used to be Volvo's performance brand). It's now focused solely on EV cars.

Even if you can't see Moo Deng in person (which probably goes for most of us here), this schedule can help let you know when to tune into the 24/7 livestream to actually see her. The stream is hosted on the Zoodio Thailand YouTube channel, though they occasionally have to start a new stream link when the power gets knocked out by inclement weather or maintenance.

That's not a Honda Prelude, that's an S12 chassis Nissan Silvia in its coupe model. It's a little known outside the Nissan community, but it was sold after the S110 for the 1983 to 1988 model years and sold in the US as the 200SX. Interesting note is that the early years (1983 to 1985) could come as a solid axle rear in base models and as an independent rear suspension (IRS) with higher performance models. Starting in 1986, all S12s were IRS.
