Abstract

In today's rapidly changing society, gender labels are being re-examined and deconstructed. From personal attire to corporate spaces, the role of design extends beyond mere functionality to become a conduit for ideas. Gender is not only a cultural symbol or a marker of social identity; it is a fluid spectrum. As traditional gender boundaries blur, designers are beginning to question what true freedom is. How can design enable everyone to express their authentic selves without restraint? "Inclusive design" responds to these questions, transcending gender frameworks to make products, spaces, and experiences more flexible and open. This approach not only meets market demands but also signifies a profound transformation within the design world, resonating with values of equality and diversity.
