As another commenter already explained: they're not opting out of being women. They're opting out of LOOKING like women.

Unfortunately that is not the case either. I know far too many that enjoy ultra feminine fashion and makeup, hair but love to scream about how they are a boy.

Oh, those are just following the recent trend. How old are you by the way?

Late 20's but I have seen this since 5 years ago. It started with the then late teens who are now in their mid 20s, but I also unfortunately know people in their late 20s and early 30s like this. It seems to just not stop with age.

But late 20s and early 30s is still in the early phase of life. Female life expectancy in many countries is now edging on 90. In the US, the average female life expectancy is 81+ years, higher for white women, lower for black women. Many young women today can reasonably expect to live 50 or 60+years past their 30th birthday.
