he she they

I have recently come to understand that non binary people identify as they rather than he or she  I'm late to this party I truly am. 

I applaud that 
and I wonder now

could I be a they too

firstly in solidarity with those who identify as non binary
we should more of us use they

otherwise just those using they would he identified as non binary
if more of us adopted the pronoun it would appear to be more welcoming and accepting? 
.also if I say I am not non binary 
does that make me binary? .I quite protest and so do my multiple selves
for when are we ever only one
I carry many selves and they all yearn to be acknowledged

it would be interesting and more true for my daughter to say 

Meenakshi is my mother
and they are very pleased to meet 
all the multiples selves that are my mum welcome you to their home
