Agreed, as I touched on above.

However... even if it is "properly society's problem", which is easier to change: oneself, or society? Does it really matter if gender-fluidity is "a thing" or not, if it is something that enables someone to come to terms with how they think about themselves? I'm pretty sure the phenomenon has been around for ages, it's just that people have talked about it in different ways. Gender-fluidity is the way we talk about it now; that doesn't make it "trendy", it just makes it more openly discussed; it is the framework which we currently use to look at it.

I'm not saying we shouldn't change society, not at all. But many people are not willing to wait around for that to happen, so they choose the course that will work for them in this current time.
