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].
