So it would be unsurprising to find that most people (in a society
with cheap and easy body modification) would only consider physical
adaptations that tend towards the social norm: more "beautiful", in
convergence with a socially-approved vision of beauty.

Why not different social norms for different groups. Like, a
socially-approved vision of beauty for people with wings, and another
socially-approved vision of beauty for people with gills.

I would prefer not having social norms, but if we must have them,
better many than one, at least with many norms one can choose which
one to follow.
