I know a few women who identify as non-binary. They basically get short haircuts in styles women have worn for half a century. The kind that tend to require more styling effort than longer hair. That's it. I have more 'masculine' traits than all the NBs I know. Both through natural biological tendencies and through social/cultural preferences. It's nothing more than a fashion. This generation's mod/rocker/goth/emo. We just live in a time where most clothing styles are pretty much normal, so people who want to stand out as different, need to go beyond a style of dress.

Technically they want to be neither masculine nor feminine so a short hair style would be very effective

No they don't. They either just want to stand out as something special without putting in the effort of being something special. Or they are going through some sort of upset and they latch onto the idea of being nb as a band-aid.

I'm being optimistic here. Of course some are using non-binary as a sort of emo. But from what I've seen there are people who genuinely just want to get rid of gender roles altogether.
