To me they're basically expressions of the same thing. Transgenders switch sexes, whereas non-binarys transcend them because they don't feel comfortable in either category.

I think it's more about how they wish to be regarded and addressed. Since they don't accept that they are male or female, they are not comfortable being addressed as either.

You bring up a good point. The third person issue is a big one, as we tend to refer to people in that way commonly. And, while I'd like us to treat both genders equally, the fact is that they are currently regarded very differently in terms of decorum, expectations and the like.
