I mean, I don't think everyone should look EXACTLY the same, but I don't care for a lot of those wild styles, either, though people can do what they want. One thing I will say for sure is that a lot of people who want to dress in ways that definitely attract a lot of attention tend to have a hard time understanding that regardless of how unfair it may be, society DOES judge a book by its cover. This is why it's harder for people like that to be taken seriously, get stared at and receive negative reactions, and they usually won't get hired in a professional setting over someone who has a more professional appearance. Sad, but true.
While people should be free to dress how they want, they also need to realize that there may be consequences they don't like because of it. Yes, people shouldn't be judgmental, but they are and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I will never understand why people will try their hardest to get attention by making their appearance shocking and wild, yet complain about that attention. The only two things they can do is accept it or make their appearance stand out less. Is it unfair? Yes. Should it be this way? No, but it is, and there's nothing any of us can do about it.
If they do not care, then that is great and they have nothing to worry about. My experience with people who like to stand out (and I'm not necessarily talking about transgenders, yet people who dress in very attention grabbing ways, such as brightly colored Mohawks, as many piercings as they can fit on their faces, face tattoos, etc.) is that they are always complaining about it not being fair that places don't want to hire them, that people stare, etc. Well, that is the unfortunate consequence of presenting yourself in that manner. I don't make the rules of life, I just go by them rather than denying them, because that does no good and there's nothing that can be done to change other people.
I studied conformity and these groups, like "hippie", "goth", "emo", "potheads", etc are not quirky and if you follow any of these groups you're not unique, and you're not non-conformist. Non-conformists don't do these or any popular things, they're weird people who are told, "you're not a hippie, you're a freak!", therefore freak is defined as markedly abnormal or unusual, and these groups want people to think they're freaks, freak implies you're so individual you're not even an individual, you're just yourself, one of a kind, and people told me "you're not a hippie, you're one of a kind, you're just unique" when what they really want to say is "you're just a weird, long hair freak on drugs!".
Non conformity disgusts me

As a transgender person and one of those who may attract attention I can say this -
The last thought on our minds is "I wonder what strangers, whom are not doing me any favors anyways, will think about me?"
For some people complaining that society may not accept them, I believe the real concern is about said strangers bothering them in the first place.
