TBH, this makes very little sense to me, because that stereotype hasn’t been true for decades. I was once a braces kid (in a country where that was very normal) and have been living in the UK for 10 years. No significant differences in the state of people’s teeth.

Either the people you were watching are very old (born pre WW2) or an especially unlucky bunch. 😆

You're right, but the absolute potato of a camera that was in the Nintendo DSi somehow made everyone look good 😆

Trans man here, IMHO being nonbinary can be paired with being trans, but not necessarily, i.e. they are not inherently the same thing.

If they have dysphoria and want to transition to alleviate it (irrespective of whether they can), then yes, they are trans.

If the extent of a nonbinary person's journey is to go by they/them, or they/them + the pronouns associated with their AGAB, then I would not categorise them as trans. To be clear, I am not saying that this is not a valid stance - just that the experience is not the same as being trans, though there may be some overlap.

Obviously you cannot work this out without intimately knowing the person, and it isn't really anyone else's business anyway, but to answer the question explicitly, I would refer to them as a nonbinary person (in the absence of further information, and where the 'nonbinary' descriptor is relevant otherwise I would just say 'person'), not a trans person.
