    '''Note 2:''' "Enby", and by extension "enban", stem from the abbreviation of nonbinary – "NB" (/en-bee/). Enby is the nonbinary equivalent of the words "girl" and "boy", and enban is the nonbinary equivalent of the words "woman" and "man". Many nonbinary adults do however call themselves "enby".
    '''Note 2:''' The words "enby" and "enban" were made for nonbinary people specifically, but could be used by intersex people who identify with being "inter". They can also be used by parents for their intersex children "if" the child expresses an identification with not being specifially a girl or a boy and wants to use those words. These words are, however, not condoned by everyone since they do reinforce gendering. It's important to remember that words like "girl", "boy" and "enby" are gendered nouns, while endosex, intersex, female and male are about biological sex and should be used as descriptors for such, which is why some people opt not to have any single specific gendered person-nouns for intersex people.
