I don't think we have a good idea of how many nonbinsry people there are. The number of people who openly identify as nonbinary seems to be increasing as awareness and acceptance spread. Those are nowhere near universal.

Referring to Alice and Bob with gendered pronouns is fine becauae we know their genders. Also, the same logic suggests it's convenient for any third party to be nonbinary.

Here's my guess: non binary are less than 1%. Probably less than 0.2%.

Of course you do. I just don't think there is enough of you to warrant a special gender pronoun.

Yet. Who knows how things will be next century.
