Wait what.

It's been a looooooong time since I've seen this episode, but I thought it was the entire bodyswapping thing that wigged Beverly out, not just specifically the genderswapping aspect of it. Am I remembering wrong?

Not OP

She was freaked out a little at first by the male-male body swap, but she got over it pretty quick, and was expectantly waiting for the new body after Riker's wore out, only to realize that the new body was a woman, and then she called off the whole romance.

Troi had to egg her on, though.

Yeah, she freaked out for a little bit over Riker but got over it enough to mack on him. And then when he got the female host she was super closed off and rejected him/her because she couldn't handle the uncertainty of who Odan would be and how often he'd change hosts and that "humans" just aren't that evolved yet.

So at face value it was "I can't handle all the body swapping" but the subtext was "I can't handle being with a woman" and the blame was placed on "humanity." But still. Beverly is straight.

But apparently even mentioning sex as a biological thing is cissexist, so I'm glad I'm doing my venting over here.
