Common Arguments
Why some people don't support our cause.
1. If you want to dress like the opposite gender, change your avatar's gender.
Wouldn't this be a nice catchall solution, if not for a) it costing gold, b) it changing the way items look, and c) the fact that many people choose their avatar's gender to represent themselves in real life, and d) the fact that many people choose their avatar's gender because they like certain aspects of the shape.
Not to mention that in real life, if you want to dress like the opposite gender, you can do it without a sex change. I know that Gaia isn't real life, but it's a different way of looking at things.
2. I dont want to see crossdressing on gaia..

-salute- I, Panoptes, place my signature on this thread.
also, one for the for arguments post. i saw a few people saying that they "didn't want to see" cross dressing on Gaia. one of the counter arguments cited that there are plenty of items that certain people didn't want to see, but they're here to stay. i think they said it was the mistake hat item they hated?
personally i hate the small ankles on Sundae (although i love everything else on her to DEATH) and the peelunger pose where you can see a yellow fluid dripping off of it... muy nasty, bro
the point is, "offensive" is a relative term, and since Gaia caters to a userbase full of young adults it would server them best to be more open and tolerant of the LBGT community
3. Of course items are going to appear different on different bases, Even if minor details are different its just a bonus of being that gender.
Its not just minor details I dont think I would have made this petition, its a huge difference. Almost enough to make it a different item in a few cases.
