No harm, no foul

It really is a shame that older gender variant people with little to no gender identity conflicts couldn't live more openly throughout their lives. Many were and are content expressing themselves on occasion or perhaps on a regular basis except that the social norms were so restrictive at the time.

This problem does not exist to the same degree today and young people express themselves without much fear of reprisal. In fact I regularly see young men and women on public transit break social norms that during my time would have invited shock and awe and plenty of raised eyebrows. This type of gender variance is harmless and gets people in touch with their masculine or feminine sides. It is benign and should perhaps even be encouraged so people can dabble into what life might be like on the other side of the divide.

To a great extent the self labeling we are increasingly seeing (non binary, gender fluid, gender non-conforming, etc) speaks to the people most representative of this need of some for expression outside of rigid binary rules.

The good news is that you don't need to have dysphoria to qualify.
