An issue the trans community has is still viewing nonbinary or multigendered people as still viewed as "basically a transman/trans woman".
The person's identity is viewed through the lense of whatever their AGAB is.
.
Example: Somebody who was AFAB & is bigender is more likely to be viewed as a transmasc who just happens to have some femininity added in. They are still expected to consider themselves a man, transition in a way that's 'typically masculine', & abandon their own womanhood.
The moment this person expresses their womanhood in any way their identity is immediately called into question. Because the trans community cannot imagine people who are not in the FTM/MTF binary. Your experiences *must* fit the most typical model of what people experience.
.
Nonbinary people who are agender/similar have a similar experience.. their AGAB is always called into question to see what category they "really" fall into. You can't just be nonbinary & not connected to transfeminity (trans woman lite) or transmasculinity (trans man lite), we need to figure out where you 'actually' belong..
That's why you see so many more people going "are you transfem or transmasc?". Even though it carves out a larg portion of the community, people only see two categories and must force you into their binary.
.
This isn't even touching on how the lack of grey area immediately screws over any intersex person either..
People have decided thay AGAB=where you're transitioning. What your identity "really" is, and it is nothinh less than transphobic.
.
The people in the community who enforce things like this need to start deconstructing sex & gender more than just "sometimes you're born in a girl body but you're actually a guy" & vice versa. You cannot claim to support your fellow trans people without putting in the work to support them all. This needs to end.
