Okay, this toon is a male… I used to run all 4 specs with him but keeping track of gear was kinda getting under my skin. So now I keep this guy as feral/guardian.
I rolled a nice troll female to go boomy/resto but as im playing I notice that all the forms are the same.
Yes there is a glyph for Doe form but my tiger form looks the same as it would if I was a male toon. Seems off to have a mane and all that hair everywhere rather than a slightly sleeker looking feline. Perhaps the same with bear form.
Tree of life form, honestly I think would be great if we could get something akin to the second boomkin form, where you look kinda translucent, except id say with a green overtone and maybe some leafy-vines paraphernalia strewn about the body, glowing green eyes… you get the picture.
I understand the nightmare to programming such changes but honestly, if there is so much effort put into transmog, why not have some more feminine looking animal forms. Im happy to buy glyphs for it if it makes it easier.

It’s never specified which type of bear guardian form is based on, but there’s no visual difference other than a somewhat smaller size, and a notable difference in weight - assuming that you are comparing a particularly fat male next to a female fresh out of the hibernation period. Otherwise at a glance there’s no real dimorphic cues. So you want female toons to be smaller bears? A female bear is far more likely to want to maul you to death if it’s cub season anyway. Come at me, I’m a hecking bear.
Also, there are documented maned lionesses so a big shrug to you, friend. Doe is available if your lady toons don’t want antlers. Other than some difference in tusk size, walruses look pretty much the same as well. So do cheetahs, so do moonkin. So do birds, nevermind the fact that they have tusks, ears, and cow horns ingame already.
And trees? Don’t get me started.

Druid seem to turn into the embodiment of an animal rather than any specific one, unless you glyph your forms, none of them look like any animal in the game. Even the base bear or cat forms don’t look like any bear or cat animal npc, same as the flight forms.
Your character isn’t turning into a tiger, they’re turning into an abstract, magical version of a tiger. The form wouldn’t vary depending on your character’s gender, as a result.
Tigers IRL dont have much in the way of sexual dimorphism. Bears also do not have much in the way of sexual dimorphism. Either sex can be large and/or sleek. Lions though, as everyone knows, do in the way of their mane.
So, Not sure what the difference for a lot of the forms would be.

Lol, I think there are enough naked, dancing, scantily clad females to keep enough pervie 14 yr olds happy without adding dancing felines and bears with moving boobs.
Im just saying, a bit more feminine would add a nice flavor. Sleeker. Like resto tree form, im picturing like poison ivy from the old batman and robin movie with Arnold as Mr Freeze. A male would be more tree-like, bark and mossy beard etc.
