Some of us feel that 3 is 2 too many.

It's one thing to think that "I have a penis, but I know I'm supposed to be a girl," and another thing to think "you know what, I'm not comfortable as either male or female, so I've just decided I'm giving up on having a gender." One of them can make sense. I really hope you can understand which one does.
'Neither' is terrible when relating to a pile of options, but 'nongendered' is not.
Don't really feel like explaining that having a sex does not establish one's gender. I also am not particularly desirous of explaining that humans and Earth are not what the universe revolves around.

Isn't 'being' enough?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
