It's also possible for (biological) women to have facial hair like that. that's not the point though, since the actual significant thing is that restricting someone's character customization (when CC doesn't affect anyone but the customizer) has no actual benefits, only negatives

It's a game. There are always rules to follow. Sometimes it's just simple coding/mesh/graphic/model etc that are behind these restrictions.

Sometimes I think people have to stop reading too much into these things and seemingly looking for ways to get offended. You are doing more harm than good for us, and via such actions actually increasing any observed divisions and discrimination that are present. Differences are everywhere, and whilst certainly some imposed differences are terrible and malicious that does not mean all differences are.

Most importantly: It is a fantasy game. It is not a simulator of real-life. Try and enjoy it for what it is rather than not enjoying it for what it isn't.

Point is that even the use of word "restriction" making it hard to actually reflect your identification. For example - I want to use that specific hair style but I can't cause there are some rules that I have to follow. I have to follow that heteronormative way that someone put in the game. That if I want my male character to be more feminine? I can't cause men has to have muscular mannerism. That if I don't want my female character to walk like a fashion model? (There is even sexism in it). The Sims 4 is a great example of how character creation can actually make things work. Even if they but away that word "restricted" away will make it much easier.

If your mission in life is to find offense in everything in order to maintain some false victimization, bravo. What validation do you seek in your quest to find the most ridiculously simple thing and twist it into some sort of attack against you? This is a virtual world with its own lore and set of societal rules. Funny thing is, it would seem that the Elder Scrolls Universe is very LGBT friendly. All you had to say is that you wanted a particular hairstyle. Don't find perceived slights against you that aren't really there.

No one who is against this explained why Zeira can wear a male-only hair style but none of my female characters should be able to, though.

There is plenty of precedent for NPCs having styles/clothing that PCs cannot have. That being said, hopefully it's just a matter time before it will be added. It's an ongoing process: MMOs, they're always adding more things and expanding as time goes by. I'm sure such a quality of life option it will be available sometime in the future.

I hope so. I hate that there is still stuff that is locked for us - it isn't even that it is not part of the character creator, it is just locked for no good reason. Not only race-locked hair colors, which is my #1 complaint since beta, but did you know the face painting the Morkul Clan wears in Wrothgar is not available to Orcs, but it is available to Bosmer? It really annoys me.
