Hohooo. Oh my goodness, no they're not out of style--I know of at least 20
Female to Male (FTMs) conversions being considered, or en route, among my
friends, as well as a couple MTFs... But you're right, you don't hear about
it much. Why would you? This is a personal operation, a (w)righting of
"natural" wrong...
Perhaps gender roles are the replacement terminology for sex roles; I'm not
quite sure what you're referring to here..
