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

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

(Anonymous) 2018-02-21 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
What would you suggest?

Person.

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.)

Enby sounds like a pokemon.

It's an eevee pre evolution.

"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.

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

(Anonymous) 2018-02-21 01:21 am (UTC)(link)

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

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

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.

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

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

(Anonymous) 2018-02-21 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
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."
