Same with the hairstyles. Forced gendering feels really bad when you're trying to play a character that lies outside the gender norm (T'rahnu, for example, is most at home with a simple short haircut and a masculine style of dress).
Fortunately, the racial outfits and the relic armors (drachen mail stomach window, the kunoichi outfit, bard cleavage window, and so on) are exceptions rather than the norm, and the majority of outfits are good about this, but it's still annoying when some of those racial outfits are really good for both sexes. That being said, a lot of them don't even make sense being race-specific - I think they should be available for all races, really.

The super-bulky armoured players with their relic weapons having a cup of tea in the Quicksand or whatever strikes me as odd though.Heh, yes. It does make sense for those characters who just came back from a sortie or whatever and just want a quick drink, but it's kind of hard to relax in heavy plate armor (especially considering the sort of heat Ul'dah is known for).
