I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as enby, is in fact, femby, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, girl plus enby. Transfem is not a gender unto itself, but rather another free label of a fully functioning gender made useful by applying a vector to a current position in a gender field that is sometimes undefined by conventional binary labels.
Many queer folk run a modified version of a gender every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, my version of enby, which I widely use today, is often just called girl, and many observers are not aware that it is basically just nonbinary being developed further by being transfem.
There really is a nonbinary, and people are identifying as it, but it can also be just part of a system of identities that they may use. Nonbinary is a position in an n-dimensional gender space; away from the standard linear binary. A position in a gender space is an essential part of a gender identy, but can be incomplete by itself; sometimes it needs a vector, a direction of intent. Enby can be used in combination with a trans identity: in my case a gender then comprised of a nonbinary identity with a feminine presentation, or femby. Any identity is allowed multiple labels, even if seemingly incompatible like girl plus enby!
