My take on #3: Gender roles, norms and stereotypes are one of the main ways cultures keep women down, and that is why they can be harmful from the feminist angle.

The problem with the nonbinary gender identity is that it only has meaning if everyone else accepts being viewed as binary, i.e., accepting of sexist and retrogressive stereotypes about what it means to be a woman or a man. The feminist ideal, in my view, is for everyone to have nonbinary identities, i.e., not to have things rigidly put into boxes by one's sex or gender.
