- that their gender changes and doesn't always match the sex they were assigned at birth
- they experience gender dysphoria but don't necessarily know which of the above the fall into.
however, it is not (but these groups are welcome here):
- cross-dressing
- Having a body between male and female that is intersex
- drag preformers (Most of which are actually cisgender)
