"Non-binary" just means "I want you to think of me as special rather than like everyone else" because none of these idiots can think of people as individuals but only as part of the various demographic groups they belong to and stereotypes they subscribe to about those groups. A girl comes to you and says she likes girls like other girls like boys. If you can conceive of people as different individuals this doesn't bother you as a concept and you don't need to conceive of this person as a "lesbian" with a bunch of stereotypes attached to a group identity. Being a "lesbian" is not an identity you take on, it's a descriptor of a group that shares a trait that you happen to fall into. Is it possible that this group may share a lot of characteristics to where stereotypes develop for a reason? Of course. But the idea that you become those stereotypes is illogical because they remain individuals. That's why these morons freak out when someone doesn't act "properly" as per their demographic group. The idea that you can be a "race traitor" or "gender traitor" and so on.
The incessant need to belong to a group means that rather than seeing cultural and social gender norms and stereotypes and recognizing that all people do not fit them perfectly they reason "I don't want to be like all people, I want to be unique" and thus decide "I must be non-binary" because the simple notion of "I must be an individual" is apparently too complicated for them or too frightening or something.
lolcow Peter Coffin's "coming out" as agender/non-binary/etc. was so great because he worded it perfectly to show how completely stupid it is and yet he expected to be and was praised for publicly subscribing to the stupidity:
