I'm actually okay with this development. After all, if you're going to be ludicrous, you might as well go all in on it.
And given current social climates, no one is going to really question it except for Naomi, who gets to play her rendition of the only sane person in the room.

There's intolerance and then there is logic.
And logic will dictate that no one in their right mind would believe her ramblings about aliens.
All they're seeing is Naomi being insensitive.
@wiseguy Except Pandora stated Teddy can't get pregnant, remember?
You're quite optimistic about how this will/won't turn out, Cortez. Do you have evidence to back up your case or is this purely your opinion?

oh you mean like in the same way Pandora said that Abby should experience boys exactly like a succubi?
Not really the same. Plus that doesn't contradict what she said.
is the same as someone with a doctorate of languages making an opinion like he or she had a doctorate of medicine, trying to look like they are experts
I would trust more if it came from Sgt Slash-Stab and not from one of her students
and the situation of Teddy/Teddi is something extraordinary, with a chance that might be a first time case, so we probably need someone who is the equivalent of an MD in Succubi-land or from where Zachariel lives to make a more educated prognosis of what is going on
I think I might be in the minority, but I think I would have preferred if Teddi was all: Nah, I was always a girl instead of relying on a magical surgery. Oh well.
Hm. I honestly don't know how I feel about the arc itself, as a transwoman (hi forum, I came out since I last frequented here).
I do think that if Teddi is temporary, this has gotten a bit over the top, and frankly, old by now. If permanent, then...I dunno. I feel bad for Teddie.
At the very least, it's an inversion of the "MY PENIS IS GONE AND I'M A GIRL NOW" trope. Embracing it instead of going on a rampage.
