The word ''enby'' (plural ''enbies'', from ''N-B'') is an alternative word that can be used to talk about nonbinary people. It seems to have been coined by Tumblr user revolutionator in 2013 as the nonbinary equivalent of ''boy'' and ''girl''.<ref>[https://cassolotl.tumblr.com/post/620371385484722176 @cassolotl] on Tumblr (September 2013)</ref><ref>[https://argentconflagration.tumblr.com/post/65902847690/revolutionator-lizawithazed-witchtwink argentconflagration] on Tumblr (November 2013)</ref> As such, many people don't understand it as a full equivalent for ''nonbinary'' and instead it's often used to refer to nonbinary people of young age.
