Dang it Arkain! Quit beating me to my own story!

However, they haven't shown any modification of their mental capacity... they're not fawning over Captain Fawx cause he's 'oh so dreeeeeamy!' So it still feels off to me that they're afraid of the 'big scary muscle men!' Since... you know, they've got zazers, or whatever they choose to call their futuristic beam guns.
Well, the way I look at it is this. The people on the security staff have been trained to use their futuristic weaponry, yes. But that training came as a guy. They learned to shoot as men, and their new "assets" would get in the way of accurate fire, they have an entirely different center of gravity, they have to be in heels just so their feet won't hurt, who knows what kind of mental state they are in due to their transformation in the first place, and if it ends up getting into close quarters combat (which isn't too big of a stretch considering they are on a ship with narrow hallways) they would be outmuscled, no questions ask.
Now if they had trained in the female bodies I wouldn't have used the whole "weak female" philosphy

I think the quotation of mine that Kyunji posted said it best. But an interesting note that I hadn't really thought of was something that a user posted in the Sins: Venials message board. He stated something to the effect of how ironic it was that the person in charge of moving the ship is now the least mobile.
And thanks for pointing out some of the errors. I plan to edit them later today.
