Enbyphobia is prevalent in [[queer]] and [[transgender]] spaces as well. For example, nonbinary people are often told that they should just pick a binary gender or that they aren't part of the community. In addition, the [[gender expression]] of nonbinary people is often expected to be [[androgyny|androgynous]], and expressions of masculinity or femininity is seen as strange and invalid. <ref>https://badapplepie.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/enbyphobia-in-cistrans-spaces/</ref>
