Well quite. Transsexual people can get their sex marker on their passport changed after getting a letter from a doctor confirming they have sex dysphoria. So its not going to be a phase for those people, as its a lifelong condition. It can be alleviated somewhat, but its always there. So a provision for them is a different thing.
Where 'non-binary', 'gender neutral', 'transgender' (in many cases, I know some transsexual people describe themselves as transgender....but most under the trans umbrella have no body dysphoria at all) and such is all about stereotypes or following the crowd.
