While I get the gripe about it not being realistic, I don't like to give takes like this too much credit or too much of my time.

IMO it's better to have people making it not a big deal and then just incorporated into said world.

Making a huge point about it, especially in context to JBBA, detracts from what the story is really about.
And it feeds into tokenism.
"Look, everyone. We checked off 'NONBINARY PERSON - SPECIAL" off out list! Round of applause for our hard work at displaying representation!"

Rather than "hey this is a nonbinary character and everyone refers them as 'they/them' in the universe. They're gonna kill a few monsters."

Especially since "weird alien colony of sentient plankton" is decidedly weirder than "person who decided their gender identity is nonbinary".
