This madness is a witches’ brew of
1 Rousseau’s radical anti-conventualism and anti-naturalism
2 Kant’s idea that our “true” self is a noumenal autonomy over and above our body
3 Nietzsche’s idea of poetically, authentically creating one’s own self/values/meaning

What we have is a bare, abstract, embodied-but-over-and-above-the-body autonomous self (Kant), but no longer defined by reason, but by will and desire, and creative spontaneity (Nietzsche) for which both Nature and society are oppressive chains to be broken (Rousseau).
Plus a dash of Marx in which the demands of my autonomous, spontaneous self to reject both natural and societal norms is elevated to a RIGHT grounded in EQUALITY and JUSTICE (not really justice, but the Rousseauian-Marxist perversion of it).
