Certainly didn't mean to imply, though, that transgender == third-gender. Transgender is an umbrella which includes third-gender.

If you go back and look at your comment, that is precisely what you implied. You wanna watch that. ;P

Yes, acknowledged. I certainly try to watch my words around transgender <> transsexual, but given the massive overrepresentation of transsexual compared to other transgender identities, I don't mind that much occasionally straying into overrepresenting non-binary-gendered transgender people.

Why only three genders? Why the need to include one group within an umbrella which maybe not all of those within it may accept?

Not trying to be picky, but just wondering if binary thinking has been defeated here, only to lead to trinary thinking instead.

My thoughts exactly. The only way to defeat genderism is to reject the concept altogether.
