Since social recognition plays a role in the self-determination of one's identity, then the social norms and expectations that our society follows construct the parameters for what is considered 'male' and 'female.' But, gender norms are never static, therefore the features that promote the perception of an individual as female, for example, are constantly changing, resulting in the fluctuating popularity of various cosmetic surgeries for male-to-female transitioning individuals (Plemons 2017, 10).
