List of nonbinary identities: Difference between revisions

* '''[[Nonbinary|enby]]'''. Coined in 2013 by a nonbinary person under the Tumblr username vector (revolutionator), from an initialism of nonbinary, "NB." A common noun for a person with a nonbinary identity. This is the nonbinary equivalent of the common nouns "boy" or "girl." Plural: enbies.<ref>vector (revolutionator). ''[http://revolutionator.tumblr.com/post/60853952929/i-wish-there-was-an-nb-equivalent-to-words-like Untitled post]'', September 2013. revolutionator's blog is password-protected, but the post has been reblogged many times, eg: [http://adventuresingender.tumblr.com/post/60940278905/revolutionator-i-wish-there-was-an-nb here], date unknown, captured April 2016.</ref> The word immediately caught on. In the 2016 Nonbinary/Genderqueer Survey, 477 of the 3,055 respondents (16%) called themselves an enby.<ref name=NBGQ2016 /> In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, 3,609 of the 11,242 respondents (32.1%) called themselves enbies.<ref name="2019 Gender Census" /> Because of the wording of the post where the word "enby" was coined, calling it an equivalent of "girl" or "boy," some nonbinary people question whether "enby" is only for youth, or whether it is also for adults, so that it is also a nonbinary equivalent of the common nouns "man" or "woman." The Gender Census collected opinions on the aspect of how nonbinary people tend to see "enby" and age, which the Census will explore further in the future. The 2020 Gender Census shows how the older someone is, the less likely they are to use this word for themselves.<ref name="GC20-enby">{{Cite web|url=https://gendercensus.com/post/620965788841558016/on-enby-and-age|title=On “enby” and age|last1=Cassolotl|first1=|date=15 June 2020|website=Gender Census|access-date=15 June 2020}}</ref>
