moonvoiceBeing nonbinary and HATING the word 'enby' is not a fun place to be.
But no, my gender has and needs its teeth, it will not be cute for you. It will not be reduced to a cutesy word over an acronym that's pronounced the same way and is far shorter to type. Do not assume that all nonbinary folk signed a contract agreeing to be reduced to a cutesy term, and if someone isn't calling themselves 'an enby' maybe just...call them nonbinary or nb.
