And having latched itself beneath the LGBT umbrella, most people are too afraid to question or offend this conceptual movement. But me being gay, I have no qualms pointing out that in my community which makes no sense.

Since I'm sure you're familiar with how social media currently uses it, as this sort of individuality and self-expression concept, here's a short video lecture from the psychology side (not the best audio). Notice that these are developmental stages—things you can actually observe children going through.
2. Right; biological sex is redundant, but it is a useful redundancy. People forget that you're talking about biology when you mention sex, and that you're not talking about biology when you mention gender, so the extra adjective does help emphasize that.
Also, from a psychological perspective, I can understand and accept the trans person. But that is an entirely different subject, and I only brought it up in comparison to the nonbinary concept which is not psychologically sound.
Someone stating that s/he is nonbinary seems to resonate quite clearly with a, albeit harmless, self delusion.
