I’m not sure. We used this for many DebConf, and IIRC the T-shirt cuts could be normal (stricter form of a T) of female cut. Women choose on of the two cuts.
[Really men choose mainly the normal cut (but few very small for their children [my assumption] and women choose female or normal cut (plus also sometime the very small).]
But i’m not an expert, so I’ll ask both about perception of “<none>/female” and how to formulate better. the sizes, without forcing women to choose female cuts.
About the sizes: I’ll ask what size our provider could provvide and adapt. [we had very strong limitation of models, in order to have the exact same colours on all t-shirts].
