To be honest though I think this is where a lot of the resentment of non-conformists comes from.

A conformist feels on a gut level that you're doing something "for attention" and resents you for that.

Of course even if that were true such resentment is ridiculous. But to me I think there is always an element of "cultural challenge" in non-conformity (even if say 99% of a man wearing a dress is deeply personal choice).
