It can make a person feel that not even in games do they have the freedom to be themselves without someone denying that people like them do or should be permitted to exist.
So because they want to protect their feelings they think it's justified to insult and prevent others from asking a prefectly reasonable suggestion? A suggestion, that, mind you, will have absolutely no side effect on the game and player's experience whatsoever. It's exactly the same as hiding the battle effects of other people. It's entirely optional, it doesn't not affect other people's experience and if you don't publicaly announce it noone will even know about it. And most importantly 99% of people don't give a damn.

Having the developers spend time on making stuff like dresses wearable by males, a feature that 99.9% of the population will not use, is somehow fine and applauded, while the the same time those very same people that asked for the dresses are waging such a huge campaign against this request, which will probably be used by much more people and that doesn't affect them in any way, is the very definition of double standards and forcing your values down the throat of other people.

Let's be honest, most people don't like to watch a Metallic Yellow Dyed Frog Suit which looks like a bloody radioactive lamp, a chocobo suit with a pig head that looks like it come out of failed chimera experiment (each with different metalic colours to boot), or 2m tall man tiger running in a wedding dress like a crappy 80s comedy character. It's grating to the eyes, gamebreaking and outright annoying. People are kind enough (or fearful to be banned) and don't tell you about it in game, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem for them.

Just like the people who have been asking for gender swapped cloathing (they asked loud enough and got it, good for them), people also have the right to ask for a hiding glamour feature. They are also paying customers and have as much right to asking for improvements as any other person. Calling them bigots and being so vehemently against it is disingenuous at best and just plain out enforcing you left wing beliefs at worst.

And finally, if people are so desperate to be seen in obnoxious cloathing, they can still do it. Just wear the normal cloathes and hang out in the town/house. At least it will spare the people in duty finder that have no option of avoid the shitty glamours.
