This alone is fair argument for new beard options, which was brought up earlier in the thread.

Forgive me for being out of the loop but where can read about outfits being un-genderlocked? >_>
Pardon, but you realise that 2B outfit is completely optional glam to wear right? the real raid gear for men is 9S version...So I dunno why you're upset lol. you aren't forced to do anything.
we really need to not be mad abt every single little thing this game brings..
More options makes everyone happy. This has also been requested as far back as the game's launch. I don't see the issue whatsoever.
For those saying that this is a waste of resources, while I can see why you might think that, we don't know that for sure. For all we know it could be another instance of the teams working on things in their spare time. Additionally, while the bunny suit issue did seem to take a while to resolve, it's clear that some models aren't as difficult to adjust as others. Like Lalafells share the same models, and with things like the spring dress, that was already modelled to fit a Hyuran male, Hildebrand wore it way back in ARR.
A link to the reddit showing images do bare in mind it might not be the full list just the stuff in code right now:

And more to the point Yoshi P has in the past stated that he did want to make existing items wearable by both genders. In my eyes this is just Yoshi P fulfilling that desire from several years past, and I see it as nothing but a good thing.
For those of you who are worried about being 'forced' to wear 'drag' I don't think you're in any danger of being forced to wear Lv. 1 gear any time soon. Though I do find it funny that this is getting people riled up but I haven't heard so much as a peep about the numerous tank skirts or the fact that some of the gear from Qitana Ravel is straight up dresses on both men and women. It's okay then when it's actual leveling gear but now it's a step too far when the only items slated to be added are Lv. 1 glamour items?
And even if they did put out more 'drag' going forward I still don't really see the issue. That's precisely why we have glamour. If you don't want to be seen in a certain outfit just slap a glamour plate over it or invest in a few prisms to make the scary skirts disappear. It's not like the team is suddenly going to say 'you can't glamour this'.
That said yes to beards, yes to a rehauled CC, yes to dresses, yes to everything as time permits. More options isn't a bad thing.
I rather they spent there limited resources on converting helmets, hair styles for new races and adding primal weapons for new jobs. Think this is complete waste of funding. This is why new races can't have nice helmets and new job nice weapon glamours.
My only disappointment is now that males can wear the Thav set, alot of the interesting and unique male DNC glams are going to be the same boring as the female glams.
Also, lol @ people saying people are "freaking out." Chill yourselves and stop looking for the bad guy to yell at.
