Ultimately, if you give people a choice, as artificial and concocted as it might be, you'll always get a number of people who choose Option #2. This is being marketed very well on university campuses, more commonly to women than to men. I think given more freedom more people will choose to live lives that defy gender expectations somewhat, and you see that trend across the world, but in many places people talk about it in a different way, rather than pulling new genders out of a hat.
In progressive discourse, you will sometimes have people claiming this or that culture recognizes 3 genders - men, women, and then some foreign word. And you go to translate that foreign word and find out it means "false women" or something. I think that's a good example of what I'd call "progressive Orientalism."
