You are right which is why I do not support it. I do not support people who have a pathological need for attention and being "special" and trying to force me to validate their need to be special and unique. I think "non-binary" is the result of various sociopolitical forces:

  1. The "everyone is special in his or her own way!" participation trophy mentality pushed by this generation's parents and the need to feel special and unique

  2. People who are gender-nonconforming who are correct in recognizing the oppressiveness of gender roles but have mistakenly conflated being GNC with being another gender altogether

  3. Western identity politics and the desire to find some way in which one is "oppressed" because of the social currency it provides to people on the political Left

  4. Mental disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder and a pathological need for attention and being centered and validated.

Well, everyone is special and unique. But that is not what they are doing, they are doing "Everyone is special and unique, including me, so everyone else must know how special and unique I am (or "my kid is")".
