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..
