enby: Short for nonbinary, stems from the pronounciation of the spelling of nb (/ˈɛn/ + /bi/).

As we do not describe a phobia (fear) but rather hateful hostility, we use -misia (from Ancient Greek, μῑσέω [mīséō] “to hate”) which might be known to you from the word misogyny (hate/ hostility towards women and/ or femininity).
