*Reinforced* by 'identification' surely? A man dressing as Barbie overturns stereotypes. A man dressing so and thus *claiming* to be a woman reinforces them.

Perhaps, but that's no different from stating that someone must be a man because they're over six feet tall, or they have muscular arms and legs, or they have a deep voice, or they have a penis The point of self-ID is all of these are negotiable
