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!
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.
I’m vaguely curious what gets re-initialized by changing gender to fix this.

The article says that the console command to swap genders also works.
I haven’t experienced it so I have no clue.
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.
You haven’t experienced swapping genders? All the cool kids are doing it.
This is why you don’t use global variables, kids!
