To my mind, it seems pretty extreme and should be unnecessary to take very profound drugs and major surgeries just to fit in with societies expectations. I would think the better approach, personally and as a society, is to work towards a culture that treats biological sex the same way it does height or shoe size. And the way it should, but doesn't yet, treat skin color.
Sure a little nip and tuck is whatever. Color your hair to express yourself. But I think it is very sad that some women feel the need to get breast implants to improve their self-esteem or desirability. I don't know anyone that thinks that Micheal Jackson's body modifications of were the actions of a sound mind. Did you know that there are people that self-identify themselves as amputees and sometimes even have surgeries to remove limbs so they can conform to that identity? Does that sound healthy to anyone?
The other way leads to madness. For example, where I work, they decided to install new signs on the washrooms: female-identified and male-identified. I kid you not. But the kicker is that the words 'female-identified' are placed over the image of a person in a skirt with long hair and the 'male-identified' is over the circle-headed stick figure in pants. On the one hand they want to be all politically-correct and inclusive and at the same time they reinforce the traditional stereotypes that we as a society are trying to out grow.
