I just felt the author kept repeating the non-binary message without actually stating why? Thoughts?

Same old....clown fish, hyenas, intersex fig leaf then conflating sex with gender.

I've got as far as ...
Sure, about .2% of people have some sort of DSD.

And

As I demonstrate in my book Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You, brains are no more “sexed””^ at birth than are kidneys and livers. Rather, brains are “mosaics””^ of characteristically female and male features.
^^

Correct. The blue brain/pink brain notion is bollocks.

Of course, there are clear bodily differences in capacities to give birth and lactate, and ranges of patterns in the development and distribution of body size, strength, and myriad other processes. But such patterns are mostly overlapping, and only a few are distributed in clear or functional dichotomies.

True. But there are differences. The birth/lactation aren't minor issues (and are what gives rise to much structural sexism and enforced 'gender roles'. The distributions for size and strength are significantly displaced so that although the overlap means the can be women firefighters, it makes non segregated sports unfair and often unsafe.

Nemo's Law states that if you try to use clownfish to argue that human sex can be changed, you've automatically lost the argument.

Ok I read it.

The author seems to beat about the bush a hell of a lot but can only come up with "some humans are intersex" as some sort of gotcha.

Gender ideology myth number 28 but as a tedious 10000 word essay:

"Because some humans have a disorder of sex development, that means male/female as categories do not exist".

Of course, there are clear bodily differences in capacities to give birth and lactate, and ranges of patterns in the development and distribution of body size, strength, and myriad other processes. But such patterns are mostly overlapping, and only a few are distributed in clear or functional dichotomies.

Capacity to give birth? Not much overlap there, and definitely a clear and functional dichotomy that is fundamental to the sex binary.

It's one of the dumber arguments.

"Sex doesn't exist because there are lots overlaps in things which aren't sex."

"DSDs are complex therefore big strapping blokes are fine to be in women's sports (etc)" = shit logic!

Admirably well put!
