My understanding of nonbinary is it, in practice, most commonly means "person for whom it is very important that others do not assume they share the stereotypical traits of their sex"

I imagine for most it’s more a sort of political statement about deemphasizing gender stereotypes/roles throughout society, rather than being about *them* per se.

It's not great that so many responses are "this is wrong but I refuse to substitute a better definition".
