UniSex

Unisex is an adjective used to describe items, spaces, or practices designed to be suitable for people of any gender. The term is often applied to consumer goods, fashion, grooming products, and public facilities, as well as to language and social practices that do not assume a specific gender identity. In fashion, unisex clothing aims for a neutral or inclusive fit and styling, frequently marketed with a single size range or unisex sizing; brands may eschew gendered cuts or branding to appeal to a broad audience.

In design and marketing, unisex approaches seek to remove or minimize gender-based categorization. This can involve neutral colors, simple silhouettes, and sizing that does not assume a typical male or female body. In public life, unisex facilities such as restrooms and changing areas are used in some places to improve accessibility and reduce stigma, though usage varies by culture and policy.

The concept intersects with gender studies and linguistics. Some advocate terms like gender-neutral, all-gender, or nonbinary to emphasize inclusivity beyond the gender binary, while others use unisex as a practical shorthand. Critics argue that unisex can still reflect binary assumptions if not implemented with inclusive design, and may obscure differences in needs among diverse people.

Overall, unisex represents an approach to reducing gendered distinctions in products, spaces, and language, while remaining contested and context-dependent.
