I also love how Rodney emerges from his experience with no more understanding of and sympathy for the female condition than he had before. Yes, true! He might understand more about the female body physically -- but even there, I think he'd very quickly be acting out of enthusiasm rather than expertise.
it's interesting that you used the male pronoun for Rodney throughout. Was that something you had to make a decision about, or did it come naturally? If the change were long-term, eventually I'd have had to make a decision about when we could really expect Rodney to see himself as female. But for such a short time, I don't think his self-image would change at all; he's more like a guy in a costume.
