'''History:''' The acronym came before the word "enby." [ can someone fill in more info here ] | |||
'''Rationale:''' There are many reasons a non-binary person may "come out" publicly. Some of us choose to do so in an effort to normalize gender diversity. The word "enby" was coined as a result of the pronunciation of the acronym "NB" for "non-binary," just like "okay" followed "OK." This title serves as a mechanism to educate folks about the existence of a non-binary gender spectrum. | |||
'''Example:''' A child says, "Mom, why does my teacher use Nb. Hammond instead of Ms. Hammond?" Parent replies, "Well, your teacher is not a boy or a girl. They are non-binary. So we call them 'enby' Hammond." | |||
