Valentoine event was great! But the rewards contradict the message

[Ariabeth]

The rewards and the silly issue
The rewards are a good one this year, not only an emote and another piece of furniture (Something I'll have to try and stow in my massive clutter of a storeroom later), but also two amazing outfits! The same "sweet" outfit now worn by Emilie.
However, with the message being Love yourself and wear what makes you comfortable, why are these outfits both locked to a gender?

A hypothetical question of course, with no intent to undermine what the FFXIV development team has done so far when it comes to de-gendering clothes!
I suspect with the release of the extra content like Deep Dungeon and the Ultimate in 5.3, and even more content coming in 5.35, the resources were spread thin in the first place.

I'm just throwing this thread up here to point out how it feels a bit silly,
and to hope they will get around de-gendering these outfits soon!
Just like what was done with all the other event items!

EDIT:
It seems some are missing, or not seeing the point of the thread.
We all know the outfits will be made for the other gender in the future, there is no doubt about that.
But the point of the thread is that it is silly to have a story with this message, and not have the outfits be fitted to both genders immediately.
No one is whining about this, no one is chastising the development team. We are just poking fun of a silly thing the FFXIV development team didn't or couldn't do at this time.
