If starfield works like every other Bethesda game, the game can’t actually change the gender directly, it instead remakes your entire character, which will reset whatever is causing the bug
I had a bug caused by the shipselling bug where each time I went through a load screen my gender and appearance randomized. So I can’t even begin to guess how all the noodles are connected.
Apparently it’s nothing to do with changing the gender, only opening the character creation screen. So you can open that screen and then just close it, and it should work again. Weird bug though!
The article links to a story about some YouTubers who went on a rant about the optional pronoun feature, so yeah, I could absolutely see this getting blown out of proportion.

Confusing your rifle for your gun, again, men?
lifts weapon this is my rifle.
Grabs crotch this is my gun.
One is for fighting, the other’s for fun.
I’m vaguely curious what gets re-initialized by changing gender to fix this.

This is why you don’t use global variables, kids!
The article says that the console command to swap genders also works.
I haven’t experienced it so I have no clue.
You haven’t experienced swapping genders? All the cool kids are doing it.
Wonder if that pseudo opens the screen.
It runs the change character script, which resets animations.
It might alter some of the same variables causing this bug.
It probably triggers a write of the character data which ends up overwriting some bad value that is actually causing the problem.
I bet Trudeau mandated this feature!
So animations get fucked up, and you can fix them with racemenu? Sounds about right, anyone with loverslab experience could tell you that.
Loverslab Starfield confirmed
You jest, but it has an entire section dedicated to it. And just look at the size of this thread. https://www.loverslab.com/topic/217203-sex-mod-framework-development-discussion/

Bethesda. Bethesda never changes. But seriously this has to be one of the odder bugs I’ve seen in a Bethesda game.

Cyberpunk had a bug where you couldn’t draw weapons or something similar.
The fix was to pay a hooker.
