I’ve chatted with a few Japanese trans men and women online (although nobody who considered themself non-binary).
A relatively common complaint was being “-Kun”d or “-Chan”d (somewhat gendered Japanese name suffixes), and while I don’t know enough Japanese to fully understand, they complained about gendered uses of keigo (kind of polite speech) at/about them.
It’s worth noting that the Japanese queer community has a lot of English influence though, so a surprising portion of Japanese trans people seem to have preferred English pronouns.
