I'm pretty done with English speakers trying to shame other languages.

Go verb some nouns, English. You are drunk.

Is there anything wrong with the statement? Is there a misconception of how Spanish works?

I literally don't know enough about Spanish to know either way or what the correct translation should be

If someone identifies as non-binary they would be neither male or female in how you address them, at least in english. In Spanish "non-binary" doesn't translate to a neuter equivalent because the gender of a word matters in the context of who you are addressing.

I am not a native or proficient speaker of Spanish, so I could be off.

So there just isn't a "correct" way to use the concept in Spanish yet?

How about non-native English speakers trying to shame English instead? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ69ny57pR0
