Please, please, please let someone other than me occasionally remind people that trans is not always automatically shorthand for transsexual, that there is no necessary, logical or causative expectation of transition, that transition itself can (and often does) anchor the idea that binary gender is normative, natural and desirable in all cases, that options exist other than either/or, and that the ongoing, everyday active ignorance of the above can serve the effect of silencing, diminishing, and rendering inconceivable, if not socially impossible, those who don't fit the standard model.

Please?
