That's not what non binary means. A drag queen is someone who cross dresses for performative reasons and identifies as a woman during such performances. A transgender person is someone who transitioned from one gender assigned at birth to the other. Non binary means they don't feel like they fit perfectly in neither man nor women, but something in between, or even something variable.

Trans people can be non binary because NB is also a spectrum.

So being non binary is more of a feeling than a state?

I don't understand the question. You are what you feel, that's what gender is, or rather how you perceive it. It seems like you're implying that what you feel isn't real, but correct me if I'm wrong. I am cis man because I was assigned male at birth and I feel like I'm a man.

I'm not trying to imply anything. I've just never had a feeling about my gender so I don't really understand the concept. I was born a man, I present as a man, but I can't say that I feel like a man, I just feel like me.

And just to clear this up, trans people can also be binary. Clarification necessary become some think that transgender is non-binary or transgender is "third gender". Both are wrong.

Ah yes, sorry if that wasn't clear. You can be both trans and non binary.
