+1 It's hard to express but aligned language often frames nonbinary people as Woman Lite or Man Lite and invites want on how masculine or feminine someone is.
Practically speaking though I feel like the nonbinary and queer female community have a history of solidarity and an overlap that being inclusive of nonbinary people in a space that is primarily about queer women makes sense to me.
Re: characters like Imperial Radch and Steven Universe gems I feel like we can Occam's Razor and say that even though their understanding of gender is inherently different from our own, from a Doylist perspective we are meant to associate them with the feminine, as represented by their use and comfort with she/her pronouns. Excluding them because of a quibble about what "she" really means is useless.
