I personally think a lot of gear will look awful on alternate genders and only appeals to a niche market of role-players and/or subtle changes to glamours.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with a wider choice of gears to use on glamours and if anyone is actually "upset" about this, they should get their heads examined.

It doesn't hurt anyone, it appeals to a section of the community, there is literally no reason to restrict it.
