Binarism is one kind of nonbinary erasure, which is prejudice based in the idea that there are only two genders. Binarism is based in that, too, as well as in racism and cultural prejudice. That is the difference. Don't use the word binarism if you're not talking about ethnicity. Say nonbinary erasure instead.
