I'm officially lost. Pig heads (which exist in game) are as bad as males wearing dresses aimed at females (which don't exist in game), yet unisex dresses 'aimed' at females (which do exist in game) aren't ok either while unisex shorts (which do exist in game) are fine. I agree that it would be ideal to have equal attention given to designs for both genders (my posting history attests to this), but at the same time Lukha has a perfectly valid point that her cute Miqo'te boy would look good in lace. It's even more ridiculous when you consider Lalafell, since they are almost identical across the genders but still have to deal with the same bizarre gender lock randomness as everyone else.

Several other posters have made excellent points but at the end of the day, what you're arguing about isn't even the same thing that was originally being discussed. Here's a simplified timeline.

Square-Enix: We'll consider letting everyone wear more clothes!
Almost everyone: Yay!
Wildsprite: I hope this means one day I can use a male-only item too.
Me: That would only be fair if we can use the female-only equivalent, but sure.
Lukha: My character would look good in that!

Thus follows a strange debate about how wrong we are for bringing some kind of nebulous LGBT+ agenda into Eorzea when I am literally just asking for the same treatment as the person with a female character (who received no abuse or aspersions about her real world sexuality or circumstances whatsoever), and Lukha is a woman who is brave enough to admit she likes seeing her Miqo'te in attractive outfits - exactly like a significant proportion of male players of female Miqo'te, who are allowed to do so without being scorned for it. A lot of people don't like the way others dress their characters but it's ultimately their choice and not deserving of personal crusades against things that are already happening in the game anyway. Freaking out about men in gowns in FFXIV is the very definition of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

I stand by my original point. If things are unlocked fairly, I'm totally ok with that and my willowy Elezen would look great in the gear. If they're not going to be unlocked fairly, I don't think it should happen. And to avoid causing unnecessary hurt to those people who do suffer from discrimination over similar issues, my real sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with anything so I would be grateful if people could stop insinuating that it does.
