Describe the bug

At some point after using the transform changeling ability, I noticed that my character had changed sex from female to male. It might have been after using myself as disguise. Even after dropping the disguise, I remained male for the rest of the round. Also even after switching between multiple people.

What did you expect?

I just didn't expect my character to change sex when using changeling abilities.

Reproducible steps

1. Spawn as ling
2. Disguise as yourself
3. Get a sex change

Alternatively :

1. Spawn as ling
2. Disguise as another gender
3. Drop the disguise
4. Get a sex change (?)

Round 57139

Same problem happened but this time it was accompanied by a complete breakdown of the transform capacity. Disguises didn't change my clothing and mostly, dropping the disguise didn't set me back to my character, but kept many details of the precedent appearance. I even managed to get differently colored moth wings despite never absorbing a character with them.

Changeling is fully unplayable like this.

I don't think the clothing stuff is broken? I'm guessing you just had existing clothing of your own so it didn't get replaced, you'd need to drop them.

The genetics side of things is beyond fucked though, maybe I can find a cheap fix for this before everything gets eventually replaced we'll see.
