The silliest part (other than the whole race incompatibility garbage) is that Astrid herself wears a suit. Sure it's not the event reward suit but come on. The female representative in the event wears a suit and yet fem characters can't wear the reward suit? I know it's not as simple as just flipping a switch or anything but seeing Astrid standing there in her suit not 20 feet from the event vendor just exemplifies how dumb the gender restrictions are like little else does.
