Diamond-shaped ... badge?
I suspect you mean the option for submitting -devices- on
lozenge-shaped forms? I am aware of no kingdoms which require it for
women (and I suspect Laurel would like to hear about if there are
any). As far as I know, all the kingdoms which have them available
generally have them available for submitters of any gender. All badge
forms these days are square.
Not that any of this affects *display*, just sayin'.
