like i said before, i'm transmasc. gender expression is something i take huge issue with - the ability to express my gender in a way that matches *me*, online, is my ultimate goal, and something that i want for *everyone*, whether that be a hyper-masc bulk-dude with full armor, or someone who wants to dress a hroth or maleroe up in pretty dresses and heels, or someone who wants to dress an elegant viera in chainmail and carry a huge sword, i want everyone to be able to do what feels most comfortable to them, without impeding upon the gameplay of others.

as for your point of diverting resources, i'll bring up something i said before, but probably got burried - i think this would absolutely be a huge project. i don't think it's something they should just get up and do to every old item. but it should become part of their norm going forward, when they release things for the mogstation, or things that may become hot ticket items, or things that are meant to be glams (and i think these are obvious items - ie, moonfire faire items, etc etc) that they should take the extra time and care to adjust the meshes for fem-toons and masc toons. and if ANYTHING, this should definitely be a norm for mogstation items, because the benefits FAR outweigh the cost of manhours in such a case - a lot of people underestimate the playerbase that is very, VERY willing to shell out extra $$ for both sets.

if theyre anything like other games, they make the items at the very LEAST weeks in advance of their release, which means this wouldn't impact the release-schedule of things such as mogstation items or event glams.

as for what my statement *actually* meant, it was moreso a comment on a certain person in here getting up in arms about the perversion of allowing men the opportunity to wear dresses in game, and how it's a slippery slope into further moral-breaking decisions.

on a side note, i can't speak for everyone who plays fem toons, but i have fem-only glamours that if i could wear on a masc frame, i would. i also enjoy the aesthetics of fem toons, and they have brows on every race and clan. /s but for real, i've got like 3 hroth's saved in my game data for if they ever open up the gender restrictions even a *tad* bit more.
