Once again I recommend the two installments of "Among the New Words"
published in _American Speech_ on terms relating to gender and sexuality.

AmSp 89.4 (Winter 2014): https://doi.org/10.1215/00031283-2908233
(on Academia.edu: https://bit.ly/ATNW89-4)
AmSp 98.1 (Feb. 2023): https://doi.org/10.1215/00031283-10579494

"Enby" is covered in AmSp 89.4, pp. 482-3, with cites back to 2013. It was
subsequently added to OED3 (June 2022 update):
