The idea behind identifying as non-binary is just to frame your personal identity in terms that others are more familiar with.
Nonbinary people recognize that most others view sex (or more specifically gender) in binary terms and use that framework as a scaffold to help others understand.
Sure, there's an aspect of "master’s tools cannot destroy the master's house" but at least they're trying to meet others halfway. Why aren't you?
Let me express my sincerest admiration for your way with words. All I could think was, "what? no. that's not how that works. what?", and here you are actually explaining why it's nonsense.
I don't think OPs post is criticizing non binary as a sexual identity, it's just making a linguistic / math joke about the phrasing we use to describe it.
