Since this is happening in Champions and the games use the same engine (yes, different versions) maybe this is a good sign for STO getting some of these options too?

Good point. If people do change, they need to be prepared to accept that some cosmetic items they paid zen for or ground event tokens for stop being equippable because the body shapes are different or because the no-nudity rules apply (no topless male shorts on a female body).
Probably, though a few NPCs still say "mam" instead of "sir" to female captains so at least some stuff still looks at the flag outside of the tailor and the "information" display function, though nothing major seems to depend on it (or at least nothing obvious).
The power would be handy for some metamorph types even if the original sex flag is not changed so it is not an issue anyway, especially since doing a metamorph that does not change sex is already easy to do in STO as it is and few really seem to use it as much more than a quick change to Risa bikinis or seldom used fleet uniforms.
That's probably what Kael was talking about when he said it was easier to do this in CO than in STO - although come to think on it, I don't recall any gender flags in this game's dialog either. (I might be forgetting something, because it's not something I pay close attention to.)
not just clothing, the same thing happens with colors as well - colors that are considered as being part of a certain gender, like blue for men and pink for women, used to be the opposite in the past or had no gender association at all

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

Lol, I just have to bribe him to turn my male Boffs into bridge bunnies.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Oh just buy a BOff of the same race but opposite gender. Boom. instant change.
Joking aside, I acutally "upgraded" one BOff this way. She was originally I think a green or blue quality, and I just saved her appearance and got a purple quality BOff and gave her that appearance. While it was human female to human female, the quality change was a bit noticable.
This was before we got story granted BOffs too.
