binarism 

Noun - As in sexism or racism, binarism refers to a collection of harmful thoughts, actions, laws, and other social systems that uplift one group of people while erasing or otherwise harming a minority group. In the case of binarism, the word refers to actions and thoughts that promote the gender binary (male/female) while excluding, erasing, or otherwise harming people of other genders or no gender at all. People harmed by binarism are generally people within the nonbinary gender umbrella, or agender. Binarism is often exhibited towards nonbinary people by cis gender and binary trans gender people alike.

The adjective form of binarism is binarist. A specific thought/action/etc that exhibits binarism is said to be binarist in quality.
I wish people would say "honored guests" instead of "ladies and gentlemen" when addressing groups. "Ladies and gentlemen" is so binarist! It makes my heart hurt just to hear it. I really wish binarism wasn't a thing, and that people like me were recognized as being real.

binarist 

This is an adjective used to indicate anything which acts as if binary genders are superior, erases people whose genders exist outside of the "binary" of men and women, and so on. The noun form is binarism. Binarism is a specific form of transphobia, which means it is a form of sexism. Due to the prevalence of additional genders in many nonwhite cultures, binarism can also be an expression of racism.
Native Hawaiians have a third gender called "Māhū" and their cultural genders are a lot more fluid than general mainland American culture. White people rejecting the existence of Māhū individuals is not only binarist, it is also a racist extension of the ongoing attempts to squash indigenous cultures.
