As someone non-binary, I never found it was insulting. Because it wasn't viewed as a monster thing, it was simply viewed as not partaking in gender norms. Oro is a highly intelligent character, to have Oro taking a step away from gender does not insult me in the slightest. In fact, I have seen it liberate a lot of people. It was so nice and refreshing, especially since it came out when Oro was no longer filling the role of villain anyhow.

To have a NB character in such a big fandom is great to me, but I'd be placated with "other" or "various". Just having it accepted that the characters don't have to be either female or male. But I don't find it insulting in the slightest. The show didn't say Oro is a monster because gender was gone, it's just that Oro found gender to be something purely social. Which is so true. And having a scientist, intelligent character legitimate it is wonderful. Furthermore, Oro has used it as a basis to teach Mitsuki morals. It has only been shown in a very good light. And has been very positive.

Of course, I speak for myself as a NB person. if others are offended, I'd be happy to at least see it be progressive enough to be labelled as "other".
