I think you're forgetting how many Roman emperors would have been blue-haired freaks.

There actually was a TIM Roman emperor -- Elagabalus. From what I understand, he was a horny AGP 14 year old who liked wearing women's clothes in the taverns and had penis-inversion surgery.

An early governor of New Jersey, I think a colonial governor, was a cross-dresser. I don't know enough about him to know what motivated him and I don't want to. It is definitely a thing that filtered down from ruling circles. Just one of many reasons to always be suspicious of those who would rule over us.
