Jokes aside, I think the correct one should be "binaria" because it's "persona no-binaria", where "persona" being a female-gendered word still includes everybody (persono doesn't even exist).

Native speaker here and no, that wouldn't be correct as a general rule. The most typical would be talking about or someone else like "yo soy no binario/a" and "yo" would be a he or a she depending on who is saying that. If you're talking about someone else it's "el/ella es no binario/a" for example.

Also a native speaker here. You can also just not specify "el/Ella" because the context isn't relevant. I.e. "es no binaria". You can also just pluralize the person to get around gendered wording, I.e. "ya llegaron" for "they have arrived" rather than "el/Ella ya llego" for he/she has arrived, but this is informal and may sound odd to someone of a different dialect from me, but I think this should at least be intelligible to Latin american Spanish dialects

Not only informal but a bit disrespectful, by saying ya llegaron to one person, it's like adding disdain to them.

It's easier to say llegó + nombre de la persona

ie: llegó Juana, llegó Pedro

And so on

The point of being non-binary, though, is that they are neither "he" nor "she". Hence the post.

Spanish always knows

El es no binario

Ella es no binaria

You see, easy peasy

Persona is bueno. Can't get more neutral than that
