A truly individualistic society would aim to eliminate all group expectations, not just one special case at a time.    No, you can have cyan hair and a same-sex partner of another race, but you can't share secrets with the competitors or wear cutoffs & a t-shirt to an important customer meeting.    There's a short list of the Whatever-Ing options an adult really has.
