Our concept of gender varies by society and some societies have always had three or more genders. The vast majority of people fit into the standard two but every natural or social rule has exceptions. If some people are intersex, I don't see why non-binary gender is impossible.

The contexy we're in us a society where we're starting to listen to people who don't fit either gender but don't have a defined social role. So they're creating their own - hence the really long list of potential genders. People are defining their own identities which means it can be anything.
