The only type of genderlocking they should even consider is very slight model tweaks just to fit different body proportions of female and male characters.

Like compare the shisui konohama of aiming/scouting/healing to the 2B leggings on males. Both are going for the “speedo” look but one is built for male body’s and one is built for female bodies that males can wear

If they directly ported the current female model of the gear onto males it would have the same weird body proportions as 2B on males. But that doesn’t mean you give males ugly ARR levelling pants instead, it means you slightly alter the proportions of the male speedo portion to make it look it good on males
