Monoid Mary added,
I think the world would be open to better symbols, but what?
and
are opaque. jfc twitter, blue and pink???!!!
for walk signs, I think the normal one is neutral enough isn't it? For signage that needs to be gendered, the skirts are fine.
i dislike the "put a skirt or make it pink so girls will know it's for them"" attitude tho. Sometimes neutral is probably best.
Me too, hence the derp of twitter color-coding the male and female symbols. ISO male/female outlines solve a hard problem tho.
