View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

Yes. This.

My particular confusion lies with the word used : transition

The definition of that word, according to Oxford dictionary, is to to explain “the process or a period of changing from one state or condition **to another.**”

But like you said, if the individual pursued this “because I didn’t feel like a man or a woman”.. then use the word Transition is improper because their end objective is undefined.

I feel a more appropriate word would be to “Dissociate” which is defined as - to disconnect or separate from (used especially in abstract contexts). Other synonyms would be to decouple, or to disengage.

But I feel, for the example your OP states, individuals are misusing the word ��transition” in their attempt to describe something else.
