I doubt YoshiP knows what a furrie is, that is not something that reached japan yet. Same with the third gender or any other genderoption it's not something most people from outside the US will even understand. It's such a small percentage of the population but sure demand the unreasonable that sure makes people more accepting. If I ask people in my country who never vistited tumblr if they know what non-binary is I would get confused looks in return.
There are plenty of furries in Japan. Some of the best fursuits come from there, in fact.

Nonbinary people have existed for about as long as gender has. We've described ourselves differently throughout the ages according to local languages, social customs, and gender norms. It's a human thing, not an American thing or even a Western thing.

This is mostly a localization thing. All SE has to do is allow the option and I doubt it's going to be all that difficult for them to do unless they really fucked up implementing gender in the first place.
