Also there are already plenty of gear and hairstyle combos that can make characters look androgynous, yet the game isn't overrun with this. I seriously doubt removing gender locking would encourage a sudden rise cross-dressing or androgyny.
I try to keep worldly affairs out of the forums (especially politics), and keep convos restricted to gaming, but I cannot deny how much of it bleeds into the game. A natural result, I concur. The world moving away from traditionalism is not a good thing, and it is now being resisted by those who wish to uphold these values. The streets are overrun by girly guys, and burly women; the MGTOW reaction/movement is stronger than ever and still picking up speed; the US birthrate is now lower than the level required to replenish, and single men are boycotting marriage because it is just too risky. And I don't blame them either.

I'm not even going to go as far as to blame modern feminism for this mess, but rather I believe this chaos we're currently living in is a result of cosmic male and female energies trying to restore the balance. IOW, the result of women suppressing their own femininity is overly emotional and effeminate males. This is just what I believe, of course. But before I head into a tangent, I brought all of this up because if gender restrictions were removed, trust me, you will see a rise in cross-dressing and androgynous avatars. That is based on the world moving away from traditionalism.
