, is a subset of transfeminism that focuses on the unique experiences and challenges faced by nonbinary individuals within the context of gender oppression. While it shares common goals with transfeminism, such as the dismantling of misogyny and cisnormativity, nonbinary feminism specifically centers on the experiences, identities and struggles of those who do not exclusively identify as male or female. A central concept within nonbinary feminism is [[enbymisogyny]] which is defined the intersection of misogyny and enbyphobia directed at individuals who are societally categorized as women or girls but identify as nonbinary. | |||
Nonbinary feminism seeks to challenge misogyny and binary understandings of gender and dismantle the systemic barriers that limit the inclusion and recognition of woman-classed nonbinary individuals within feminist discourse, activism and broader society. | |||

TERFs are known mostly for advocating and enacting violence against specifically trans women. Because they view trans women as men, they see them as a violent threat to women. This vitriol doesn't always extend to trans men, who they view as "lost women" who are seeking refuge in manhood from misogyny. TERFs also do not support nonbinary or genderqueer people's identities.<ref>[[Eris Young|Young, Eris]].
