They're telling you that they don't conform to a particular gender system..but that shouldn't seem impossible to you or anyone else. You don't conform to theirs, either.
So, interestingly, a boy who feels like a girl or a girl who feels like a boy - I mean, I'm gonna give em boy or girl, no questions asked. They're still binary. In that sense, they see these things closer to the way you do or, broadly, how society does, than to a non binary person. They are not just those two things, they are not one or the other specifically. Our culture makes claims of gender that are not, in their experience, true of themselves.
