It will be nice if Nexon if nexon implement a feature for players to change gender. Whats your feedback?

At this point it really doesn't add anything to the game and just keeps people from being able to buy certain cosmetics.
Several cosmetics marked for a specific gender can already be equipped by either. The gender tag does nothing.
I'm not sure why marriage was ever added to the game either. All it does is create drama.

keep genders, no gender change, just fix these equip restrictions
So what exactly becomes the point of gender at this point? Why even have it at all?
Even if you keep the marriage system in the game, why not just allow any player to marry any player?
You already wouldn't be able to tell a "female" player from a "male" player except for hair/face, which already share a lot and sometimes they even allow the other gender access to the other styles of hairs/faces.
If not for cosmetics, what point does gender have within MapleStory?
So remove gender flags but don't remove gender flags?
did you really no t understand what i wrote?
dont remove gender tags, just make it so either female or male can wear it, still keep male and female tagged equipment but let either gender wear it. like for instance Snowbunny Hat (M) and Snowbunny Hat (F) can both be worn by a male character or a female character.
i want to keep male and female characters, but make it so gender tagged equipment can be worn by either gender, this is how clothing works irl.
That's literally removing the gender flags, but simultaneously not. Do you understand what you wrote? Because I don't think you do.
how do you not comprehend this?
This is the same thing as removing gender tags. Just because there are variants doesn't mean there is still "gender" in the game.
The actual gender tag only restricts what gear you can and cannot equip, marriage, and what type of other cosmetic version you get.
This is still removing the gender tags.
I can explain the concept to you, but I can't understand it for you.
The color of the underwear makes no real difference in the sprites, which is why all characters could technically wear all clothes, as you desire.
As for hairs and faces - there are those who complain about certain hair and face styles being gender-restricted, when in the real world you can do whatever you want with your hair, and there are women with thick eyebrows and men with long eyelashes. Why is your request for clothing freedom any more valid than their request for hair and face style freedom?
It would be technically much easier to remove gender tag entirely from the game than to change all clothing to be gender-neutral. And it would certainly be easier than only changing some clothing, as some of your posts suggest.
Congratulations on finding literally the only substantive difference between male characters and female.
Now that we've sorted that, let's go back to "remove gender flags entirely". Any character can equip anything, use any face, use any hair. I don't get why this is so hard for you to grasp.
and i think hair/face distinction should be kept because i dont want to buy a royal coupon and have to gamble through masculine looking short hairs and masculine looking faces maybe make a male and female version of the coupon itself rather than going off of the character gender?
They could still separate the face/hair into two coupons, and there have been plenty of times where they allowed the hairs to be used on the opposite gender.
There is no real "clear distinction" between the two genders. You have male characters running around with female hair/face and vice versa.
The underwear thing doesn't matter in the slightest. Who's going to actually remove all their clothes for that?
It's a bit weird that you even care about seeing the underwear color of online avatars.
If we're going to have gender tags, I'd actually rather see the differences increased rather than decreased, you know, so that it actually matters?
Right now all gender does is lock certain cosmetics on characters that have the exact same base.
