https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gold_in_them_thar_hills
"There's gold in them thar hills" is an old phrase, probably a misquote, but has been long been associated with gold prospecting in the US old west.
So a non-binary gendered gold prosector found lots of gold in "them/their" hills is a reference to how people of non-binary gender tend to use "they/them" as pronouns.
"Them/their" isn't exact, but their is the possessive form of the third-person plural pronoun "they." So it's still referencing to correct pronouns for non-binary gender, just shifted slightly for the sake of a joke.
Thanks :) I love this community
