I wanted to do something so I did... something...
I actually don't know if I ever really publicly stated my own Enby-ness, but IDK. When asked, my brain really does just kinda does that.
seriously though, after spending the mid-2010s around edgy "skeptics" who where all over the enby hate, I'm just so glad I can full on say it without too much fear of backlash...

To further elaborate, the reason (at least as it was told to me) that it's the "sound it out" version of the letters is because NB is already used for "non-black." I never heard of that in 30+ years of life, but apparently I'm just not in the right circles to have heard it. The non-binary community does not want to step on the toes of another marginalized group, so the letters became word-ified.
I could be entirely wrong about this. I've identified as enby for about 2 years. I learned of that word very shortly after coming out about it, which itself happened about 2 days after I learned that "non-binary" was a thing one can be instead of just the male/female binary. So if I'm wrong on the etymology of "enby," I hope I will be corrected.

Well, there's all different kinds of non-binary, such as agender (neither), bigender (both at once), gender-fluid (shifting over time) and more. In my case, I just never felt right as my AGAB (assigned gender at birth), but I also didn't feel like I felt strongly enough about the other side to transition. I didn't know one could be in the middle.
My first hint was watching Ranma 1/2, starring a male character who is "cursed" to transform to a female body when splashed with water. I really wished that could be me. I also had sexual dreams with someone I liked where genitalia would be used and then exchanged to switch roles. Of course, that's just dealing with the physical. Gender politics/dynamics have always interested me, but I always felt they were kind of bogus. Like Haruhi Fujioka said in Ouran High School Host Club (dub), it's more important for people to be recognized for who they are, rather than for what sex they are.
