    Yes but in this context discrimination has the connotation of the negative. To discriminate by race or gender is to suggest that one SHOULD be represented or treated differently. Nobody is saying that women SHOULD look sexy here, people are saying that they WANT to look sexy.

    By requesting distinction I mean that I want to be able to identify my character as female. Men and women typically look outwardly different from each other, therefore there is a distinction to be made.

    I think that the tank soldiery was a great example. I don't exactly want a burly man chest on my female lalafell or miqo'te.

    Some women, or people playing female characters like to wear clothing that accentuates and flatters their body types. We're not asking for boob armor or pasties. Regardless of whether or not its a video game, it's a matter of wanting to look female and being happy looking female.
