Yoshi P has stated that he does not want to restrict gear based on gender, and that they're working on making the Eternal Bond outfits wearable by both genders. Which is absolutely fantastic and I'm glad they're doing this, but what confuses me is that new things like Krile's outfit (which I know has been requested for years) are still gender-locked. You would think that they would want to just make them unisex by default going forward so they don't have to worry about going back and doing it later...
I'm also mildly irked that they released Krile's outfit but offered nothing for male characters, but this hasn't been the first time they've done this, so... /shrug

Please let me wear Lyse's liberator outfit, SE. I bet I could rock it better than she could.
