The devs have slowly been removing gender-lock from most gear in the game and I imagine we'll eventually reach a point where no gear is gender-locked anymore. I'd assume that applies to the Garo gear as well. There's no real reason I shouldn't be able to wear a butterfly piece in my hair as a male.

That said, the first time the Garo crossover came around, I assumed it would be permanent and it wasn't. I expect it probably won't be permanent this time around either. I feel temporary gear should have priority when it comes to removing restrictions. After all, it's better for people to be able to grab whatever they want from the event as early as they can before it goes away. I had assumed the gender-lock restrictions would have already been removed by now. The later the gender-lock is removed, the less time people have to collect gear they didn't get because they weren't able to equip it before. So my request is to please remove the gender-lock restrictions from the Garo gear as soon as possible
