Because mem and women are different. Gender is important. Trans people have gotten that right.

Like white for girls and blue for boys? Or do they have different cuts for a "typical" female body and a "typical" male body?

Of all the issues relating to gender currently, this may the be lowest on the totem pole. It is a polyester sack that you wear once.

I think they look nice and it helps family members pick them out of a crowd. But maybe that was my school- my graduating class was over 1k.

I graduated HS 40 years ago and the boys and girls wore different color gowns.

Find something more substantial to whine about.

Sorry, we can't have 56 different color gowns to match all the different bespoke pronouns.

Good. Maybe you should also talk to the manager while you're at it.

Whichever color they choose! Two colors looks nice. Kids can pick if they don't identify as male or female.

When my daughter was in K her class rebelled and refused to wear the gendered gowns, the (elementary) school then switched to school tshirts for graduation.
