Sock is a stereotypical name for enbies, in the same way Chad is a stereotypical name for boys. Nonbinary people being autistic is A Thing. Autistic people tend to struggle with executive dysfunction, which makes doing chores hard. Allistic people are often naturally good at manipulating or guilt tripping autistic people.
Sock is an autistic enby who no wanna do dishes and blames their roommate’s neurotypical privilege for being able to guilt trip Sock into doing them.
Don’t forget “nb” is used to denote non-black, so out of respect and to avoid confusion, as well as for all the good reasons you’ve listed, “enby” is the preferred term.
Ok, I get what you mean. My counterpoints would be that nb in writing wouldn’t “flow” differently because typing isn’t the same as speaking. Out of context, a lot of insider terms get lost.
Do you have aphasia? Most people have a voice in their head that reads things to them. Helping the voice read my text with a better flow leads to less headaches for readers.
That’s a weird question. No of course not, not even sure you understand what that means…
Again jargon is designed for the in group. When language is more accessible to all random Internet users… On the random Internet… Seems like a win to me.
I never fully get these posts but I think that’s why I like them so much

I don’t know anything about Portland.
Why would anyone write “enby” when nb is shorter and whose meaning can much more easily be guessed at by people like me wondering what it means…?
I have a swype keyboard that types enby faster than
MNB (edit: and with less typos)Enby is a word instead of an initialism and flows more naturally in conversation
Enby is a term in use by the enby community, and using it shows I know what I’m talking about
Enby is a more “cuddly” word that makes us sound more relatable than an initialism
People in the enby community say enby more often in casual conversation, and I wished to convey a casual tone

nb is already used to mean “non-black”. The phonetic spelling “enby” is used to prevent any confusion
That makes sense and is the answer I sought :) thank you kind stranger
You and me both. It’s better than basically any generic meme/shitpost place.
