Help needed for freshman level paper

I am a Black autigender, genderfluid person. I am writing the final paper for my freshman level writing class on the gender neutral fashion trend. Unfortunately, I feel that the gender-neutral fashion trend that emerged in the mid 2010s is declining due to poor execution by major brands. Brands like Gucci, H&M, ASOS, Zara, etc. have abandoned their gender neutral lines.

As a method of "decolonizing" (in quotations bc I don't know if this is the most appropriate word) I am needing quotable input from the community that I can include in my paper. I know a lot of these topics have been discussed, but I want to make sure I have explicit consent to use quotes in my paper. I am wanting my paper to rely more on voices from the community rather than "scholarly" sources. My professor has okayed this. I am needing to know:

  1. How would you define term "gender-neutral"?

  2. How did you feel when you first learned about gender-neutral clothing lines?

  3. Thoughts on color schemes and/or type of gender-expression (masculine or feminine)of gender-neutral lines offered by major brands like H&M and Zara.

  4. Why do you think these brands no longer offer gender-neutral lines?
