 Hi,
 
 The T-shirt sizes field in the registration field gives the following
 options:
 
 * Small ... Extra extra large
 * Female small ... Female extra extra large
 * No shirt selected
 
 I suspect this would be more gender neutral if we had Male small
 ... Male extra extra large in the first group.

 In US English (not sure about UK), it would be more natural to say
 Men's and Women's sizes instead of (fe)male sizes. I personally
 believe that it also makes it clear that we are talking about adult
 sizes.
 
 e.g. - Women's small.

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].

Hi,

and also please add sizes up to 5XL which are common these days.
And XS which is also common. The world gets more diverse. In all aspects.

Greets,
