Is Psycho Ex-Girlfriend unisex, or is it specifically about ex-girlfriends? There's evidence for both, and I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

On one hand, it has a Psycho Ex-Boyfriend redirect, the image seems to be of a boyfriend, and the description on some indexes don't reference gender.

On the other hand, the laconic is girlfriend-specific, the description uses Alice and Bob and Alice is the psycho, and it's indexed on things like Womanliness as Pathos while not being indexed on Unisex Tropes.

It's definitely unisex. There's a slight difference between how the male and female versions are portrayed, but it's vanishingly small considering the trope's roots. This should be solved with some description tweaks, maybe a line about how ex-boyfriends are slightly more likely to actually kill their targets and less likely to get any sympathy (or be Played for Laughs).
