Hopefully you can see that I'm not making "the biological argument" you probably had in mind, i.e. a biological essentialist account of gender. The biology totally supports non-binary people, and in fact the current evidence is that brain sex is largely "non-binary", with very few people having brains that fit into binary boxes.
EDIT: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4687544/
Only around 1% of brains fit consistently with the binary "male" or "female" characteristics.
