==Non-binary feminism==
'''Non-binary feminism''' also known as '''enbyfeminism'''<ref>https://archive.is/hkzUK</ref>
, is a subset of transfeminism that focuses on the unique experiences and challenges faced by non-binary individuals within the context of gender oppression. While it shares common goals with transfeminism, such as the dismantling of misogyny and cisnormativity, non-binary feminism specifically centers on the experiences, identities and struggles of those who do not exclusively identify as male or female. A central concept within non-binary feminism is [[enbymisogyny]] which is defined the intersection of misogyny and enbyphobia directed at individuals who are societally categorized as women or girls but identify as non-binary.
Non-binary feminism seeks to challenge misogyny and binary understandings of gender and dismantle the systemic barriers that limit the inclusion and recognition of woman-classed non-binary individuals within feminist discourse, activism and broader society.

'''Transgender-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs)''' are a biological essentialist subsect of feminism. They don’t believe that the construct of gender exists, they believe that the sex assigned at birth is what determines your position in the patriarchy . They are known for their vitriol and violence against trans women. First advocated by second-wave feminists such as Germaine Greer<ref>

TERFs are known mostly for advocating and enacting violence against specifically trans women. Because they view trans women as men, they see them as a violent threat to women. This vitriol doesn't always extend to trans men, who they view as "lost women" who are seeking refuge in manhood from misogyny. TERFs also do not support nonbinary or genderqueer people's identities.<ref>[[Eris Young|Young, Eris]]. ''They/Them/Their: A Guide to Nonbinary and Genderqueer Identities'' (2019). page 100.</ref>
