I've been told by a few that the theme of 'horror & gothic' is too restricting, especially with the 'alternate gender' portion of the theme.
This basically means nothing strictly male or female. I think a lot of people over think this because they are so set in the gender binary rules of society. Think more of it as lifting the restrictions of gender. Boys wear dresses, girls wear suits, unisex and androgyny can be both. The items are not restricted by the physical sexual organs of the two main sexes.
The words 'unisex' and 'gender free' and even 'gender bending', are not things to be afraid of, but rather something to embrace to challenge your creativity, stretch your imagination and defy gender stereotypes, which are running abundant and breeding like bunnies in Second Life, despite the fight to break free of their shackles.
This part of the theme of the Alternate Gender Fair will never change. Our goal is to challenge and dismember these stereotypes and pre-conceived notions of what gender is. Your gender is not restricted by your sexual parts, only by your imagination and personal freedom you give yourself.
The only thing changing about the fair, is the secondary theme, and the fact that due to popular demand, next round all creators will be welcomed, not just those who make clothing, accessories and wearable items.
If ever you have any questions, leave a comment, or contact me in-world via NC.

=What is a Femboy? Trap? Huh?=
We've been asked about this a lot during our events, so we've decided to
post this here permanently for those who are not familiar with what a
femboy, androgyn, trap or any other person of alternate gender is, here
are some examples and explanations. This is for educational purposes
only!
Three notes:
1- 'Gender queer' is a catch all for anyone not strictly male or female, so everyone here can be identified as such.
2- Many of these overlap and blur into others, no one is a 'perfect' example of just one thing as we are all unique, have different styles and cannot be stuffed into a neat little box ^_^
3- All these definitions are in the simplest terms possible and are not all encompassing of each. We put them in these terms so everyone can understand them.
*Femboys are males who are more effeminate, sometimes in their mannerisms, physical body, or dress, often blurring the line between male and female. (Note: Femboys are NOT twinks.)

*At first glance, an Androgyn's physical gender is not obvious or obviously defined.

*Traps can be male or female, but they pass as the opposite so well it's a surprise when you find out they aren't.

*Transgenders are NOT traps, they are mentally and/or physically the gender they identify with, regardless of whether their physical matches their mental identity.

*A person of Alternate Gender (also known as genderqueer) is anyone not strictly male or female as defined by society. This can be someone who cross dresses, is a trap, femboy, androgyn, futa, shemale, sissy, transgender, etc.

*A sissy is a male who adopts hyper-feminine behaviors, cross dresses and engages in stereotypical "feminine" activities, including taking on the "submissive female" role in a relationship. (Not all sissies are transgender.)

*A Tgirl looks exactly like every other girl, but has a little extra down below... usually a lot extra, actually, and has large breasts.
*Futa is short for futanari, which, in the hentai community, is a dick girl. A being that has the body of a female and the genitalia of a stallion and extremely large breasts.
*A ladyboy is a male who naturally has all the attributes of a woman except for the plumbing. Some ladyboys do not need surgery or makeup to look like a woman, nor is there a need to try and sound like a woman as it is all natural for them. Some are considered transgender and can be taking hormones or had breast augmentation to create a more feminine body.
Please note, sexual preference has nothing to do with gender identity. Femboys, traps, androgyns, transgenders and all other forms of alternate genders can be any sexual orientation, regardless of how they dress or appear outwardly.
I have also linked to blogs, but be warned, some pics are graphic and Adult in nature. The links to individual pictures we've supplied are all artistic and work safe ^_^v
