One of the main issues with trying to understand it is that there's no consensus even amongst people who consider themselves to be non-binary. So you could listen in depth to several people and feel like you'd developed a good understanding, only for someone else to tell you that it's all wrong and you don't understand it at all.

The crux of the whole thing is hyperindividualism so there's no over-arching concept to understand ... it's just people's vague thoughts about themselves as individuals, and ham-fisted attempts to group, categorise and label individual personality traits.

What I find amusing is that the circle seems to close but in a really confused way. "I am in fact so different and unique that NONE of the pronouns fit and I need my own 100% unique pronouns!" ... yes that already exists... it's called a proper noun ... i.e. your name...
