What is the most specific way to describe somebody prejudiced against non-binary individuals?

For context on what I’m looking for:

  • A person who hates somebody because of their race, is racist
  • A person who hates somebody because they are transgender, is transphobic
  • A person who hates somebody because they are homosexual, is homophobic
  • A person who hates somebody because they are non-binary, is (?)

Do you specifically mean someone who is prejudiced against non-binary individuals but not against trans women or trans men? If your readers know the term "enby" for "non-binary", then you could try "enbyphobe".

This prejudice is a specific form of transphobia, in that non-binary people count as trans, because everyone was assigned either male or female at birth, so identifying as non-binary entails transitioning. Transitioning doesn't just cover transitioning from male to female or female to male -- it also covers non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, third gender etc..

Homophobia is a old term now it’s called heterosexism.
