I wonder how improving technology will affect perceptions of of these concepts. Right now, transitioning genders physically is hard, for many reasons, and quality of outcomes is dependent on many factors.
What if you could just pop into a genetic resculpting pod and it could literally physically edit you to be biologically the other gender? What if it was fast and easy enough that someone could do it habitually during a day or week? Be one gender at work and one gender while at home?
I suspect that enough generations will pass that the gradual decoupling of physical biology from our sense of identity will make this a less interesting smooth change with no big-bang, but I'd be kind of interested in reading a short story exploring what our world would look like if this star-trek-tier sophisticated body-modding was invented tomorrow.

(I've heard from women doctors generally refuse breast reduction unless its considered medically necessary or has written permission from a male long-term partner.)
