One who sincerely identifies as politically non-binary doesn't alert me to any uncertainty as to his social views, as if that person bounces between trans rights advocacy and opposition to gay marriage. "Non-binary" expresses a worldview, which included within it is the self perception that one is more open to a multitude of political views than their opponents, which you have expressed. I'd submit though your position is probably better described as being more open to challenges to the status quo, but that necessarily limits the sorts of views you would be open to. It's not a difference in open mindedness. It's a difference in values, particularly as to how you might weigh the value of promoting merit versus pluralistic participation. — Hanover

Someone who self-identifies as non-binary is strongly left with regard to whatever trait he's describing. That is the connotation of that word.

According to my recent reading on recognition, people who have any kind of non-binariness probably experienced neglect in childhood, so that they never developed a clear sense of self, which requires being recognized by others. So if someone tells you they have no favorite football team, you can ask them if they were neglected. They probably were. — frank
