Some grammar nuts will resist you, but while it's not the most "proper" manner of speaking, it's still correct.

well, I already had alot of them, one more or less probably wont make a big diffrence,

It's just the nature of the Romance languages that developed from Latin. I don't know about French and Italian-speakers, but I hear that most queer and nonbinary-identified folks in Latin America don't care. There really is no changing the gendered qualities of the language because it's so fundamental.

So essentially, there is no way of referring to nonbinary people in their own language then without giving them some sort of binary article...

There are ways, but they just aren't so useful in spoken conversation even though they look good written. Like Latin@. There are a few ways to say that, but there's no consensus, and most spoken attempts, I've heard, end up sounding silly or too close to a gendered alternative anyways. I don't know what language is used to refer to groups of other-gendered people though, like the muxes.

In the Philippines, Tagalog uses non-binary pronouns "siya" direct, subject, "kaniya" oblique/preposition, "niya" indirect/possessive/object for both she/he, her/ him, his/ hers.
