Think we should add to it Square Peg, Round Trope?

Non-Human Non-Binary has a pretty straightforward title, but its description talks about they ways it can be used: to dehumanise non-binary people, or as a metaphor for the discrimination non-binary people face, or to emphasise how a species is different from humans. However, there are a lot of zero-context examples that amount to, "one non-human character in a cast full of non-humans is non-binary", such as these:
All of these characters being non-binary is incidental, and has nothing to do with their species or the subtext. I think the only time this trope could wount in a cast of non-humans is in Xenofiction where a given species has a different concept of gender, but what do you think?
(Also, I think this has a lot of overlap with Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous.)
