They're almost all just female, tacking on the ~enby~ label and adding "they/them" to their "she/her" pronoun list is a thing they do now to pretend they're not one of the boring "cishets".

[(Anonymous)]

How can you tell?

[(Anonymous)]

Because they always are the same kinds of people who will constantly post about the dumb old cishets and have the most gender essentialist enby/trans headcanons for characters.

Gods, I hope "enby" doesn't stick.

[(Anonymous)]

I hope it does. We have words for "a male person" and "a female person", we should have words for "a nonbinary person"

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think "enby" is a good solution to that problem

[(Anonymous)]

What would you suggest?

[(Anonymous)]

Person.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

You mean as opposed to genderqueer, nonbinary, androgyne, or just plain queer? Or if we must have another neologism, maybe something that doesn't sound like it comes from a pre-teen cartoon? (It's not all that popular among nonbinary people BTW.)

[(Anonymous)]

Enby sounds like a pokemon.

[(Anonymous)]

It's an eevee pre evolution.

[(Anonymous)]

"You mean as opposed to genderqueer, nonbinary, androgyne, or just plain queer?" Those are all still adjectives. We don’t call a guy "a male" outside of biology labs and radfem blogs.

[(Anonymous)]

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/androgyne

a noun

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but who in the history of humans has ever used that word? lmao

[(Anonymous)]

me and me alone. i have so much literary influence that it was decided to be added to various dictionaries decades before my birth.

(absence of knowledge is not knowledge of absence)

I remember David Bowie, for one, used androgyne to describe his younger self. The adjective form is 'androgynous.'

[cbrachyrhynchos]

All of them have a longer history as nouns than "enby," which is just the phonetic of the abbreviation for "nonbinary" and carries all the problems of still being defined by the binary.

[(Anonymous)]

You can only say Enby if you say it like a cute Pokemon. Enbyenby ENBY!

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, NB. Spelling it “enby” is some twee softboi~ tumblr horseshit

[(Anonymous)]

be that as it may, the reason i started using enby instead of nb was because i've seen nb used to mean "not/non black" in uglier places. e.g. "only open to nb people."

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like the more aggressively someone uses the word enby, the less likely that person is actually nonbinary.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd bet money most of them will drop the nonbinary stuff when they grow up and find value in themselves outside of appropriating LGBT identity.

[(Anonymous)]

I have not heard "enby" before. It sounds like "envy" as spoken by someone with a cold, or the name of a heroine in a teen fantasy novel.

[(Anonymous)]

Fits because those people seem to be terribly envious they're not trans so they need to pick some other label that lets them be not-cis without being trans.
