Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

December is here, so it's time for a new avatar from my Winona Ryder Avatar Calendar of 2020. After considering several season-appropriate options, I decided with this one:

But also because of how many options I had, I've decided to do another Winona Avatar Calendar for 2021.
 
And another monolith appeared, and then disappeared.

And so it begins

Photographer confirms humans removed mysterious Utah monolith
  • Four men destroyed metal pillar, saying: ‘Leave no trace’
  • Monolith had sparked intense interest and wild theories
Thrill-seekers agreed, and within days visitors found it, just east of the Canyonlands national park. Amid mounting international attention, a copycat monolith was reported in the hills of Romania.

The object’s origins remain unknown. A spokesperson for gallerist David Zwirner told the Guardian it was not a work by the late artist John McCracken. The spokesperson later told the New York Times it could be by McCracken, but confusion remains.

I'm sorry if this is inappropriate, but I'm not very clear on exactly what some of the terms used for members of the LGBTQ+ community actually mean, and was hoping I could get some clarification. Just to be clear, I have absolutely no problem with any of the members of the community, I just want to make sure I understand the terms, so I can be sure I am using them correctly, and don't make an ass of myself in the future.
If a person is non-binary, does that they are physically not male or female, or that they are one or the other physically, but don't consider themselves either?
And are people who haven't transition from one sex to the other still transgender, or is that just people who have transitioned? The Eliot Page new is what brought this up for me. I wasn't sure if being transgender meant he had fully transitioned, or if it just meant he considered himself male now.
 
Gender non binary doesn't say anything about your biological sex, it means you don't fully identify with one gender or the other. (My sibling is gender non binary).
 
And are people who haven't transition from one sex to the other still transgender, or is that just people who have transitioned?

I am on an inclusion committee at work. My understanding is that transgender just means that your internal sense of gender identity does not match your gender assigned at birth. You can be transgender whether or not you have transitioned.

Not trying to speak for anyone else, of course. If this definition is not accurate, please feel free to correct.
