Is enby an acceptable term for nonbinary folks?

That sums my perceptions but in a more articulate way.

Words aren’t about the arbitrary sounds that compose syllables. It’s about intent. There’s no intent for that little word to be harmful and it’s not.

But the kind of childish way it sounds in my head doesn’t go away and little can be done about how someone’s personal perspective interprets a word.

I can’t help but take the interpretation that it’s just a slight bit undermining of values making it somewhat degrading, even if, logically, I understand there’s no real intent for it be that way.
