For me it (chatgpt) says 'no binaria' ist the more common term, but no idea if that's actually how it is
No binario is masculine, because it ends in -o. To make it feminine, it is changed to no binaria, ending in -a. Therefore, no binaria is feminine.
There are neutral adjectives that end in something else, such as verde (green) or feliz (happy), but most adjectives do not have a neutral form.
I know, I can actually speak a bit of spanish myself haha.
But what do you do when you speak to a person who doesn't identify as neither? How do you justify the use of either no binario or no binaria? You need a gender for that. And if you can't figure out a gender there probably is a common or more agreed upon version or? I thought in this case more people might just use 'no binaria' for everyone.
Someone else mentioned 'no binarie' so I guess there's another way out of this.
You can use "no binaria", which kind of implies the usage of "persona".
