Oh, I didn't know that's what you were looking for :O In that case, have some more/more details!
* The main character of Cyber Six, while human appearing, is actually a genetically engineered soldier who spends the series questioning their own humanity.
* In the fourth book of Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, there's an immature dragon who is "too young" to have picked one of two binary sexes yet, and doesn't have a name, either.
* In the anime Simoun, all humans are born AFAB; in countries other than the one the protagonists live in, half of all babies are immediately surgically reassigned as male. However, in our main characters' country, there is a special spring people visit when coming of age that, upon stepping into it, will determine their gender permanently. Weird stuff kinda happens to people who refuse to pick a gender and/or aren't assigned one by the government at birth? It's pretty nebulous, and we don't find out much about that until the end, aside from the fact that no one can pilot a Simoun ship after they've received their permanent gender placement.
* In Skullduggery Pleasant (book series), there's a nonbinary creature who is able to surgically lock a person's true name, which, if learned by the general public, can be used to control them. The character is super creepy and predatory, and shows up around... book five, I want to say?
* The book Chameleon Moon by Roanna Silver features a prominent nonbinary character; Silver was originally made to assign them a binary gender when the book was first published by a company, but has returned them to their true nonbinary state upon getting the rights back and self publishing. They are not by any means a villain, though they are somewhat frightening and inhuman seeming at first.
* All the gems in Steven Universe (again, except Steven) are presented in canon as female, though they are in fact alien space rocks that project a humanoid appearance. Canon itself has yet to address how gems treat gender within the story; all we have is the word-of-god note. The main character, Steven, has fused with other characters, and at least when fused with one (Connie, a human girl) uses they/them/their; Steven himself is half-gem, half-human, and has so far identified as male otherwise - though might also be more strictly nonbinary when fused with other gems? I don't recall if we've heard pronouns for his other fusions or not.
* The angels in Wish, while humanoid and roughly human in appearance (minus wings), are heavenly beings and not actually human.
* Prreeeeettty sure the main character in RG Veda is a construct of some sort? Or heavenly being? This is one I absolutely haven't seen or read, aside from the one cameo, and only know bits and pieces about.
...It's like I have some sort of interest in characters and gender in the fiction I like or something ^^a
