I realize that this is a fantasy setting and these sorts of things are common place, but just imagine what's going on through this poor guy's head... Even if he was a homosexual man with secret yearnings to be a woman, the sudden change in gender would likely lead to actual, lasting mental health problems. I watched a video of a homosexual woman that went through with a social experiment, disguising herself as a man for 6 months to learn what it was really like. After the 4th month, she had to call the experiment off due to deteriorating mental stability. It wreaked havoc on her mental state, to the point where she was severely depressed and contemplating suicide for lying to the people she'd met. Now, the lies aren't coming into play in this particular scenario, but the feeling of just... Becoming a girl? Losing your gender against your will and having it replaced with another one? Even as a gay man, that can't feel good. Frankly, if this weren't such a cheery, lusty world, I'd expect more Alps to fall into severe depression, just like the woman in my example did. A part of who they are is just... Changed... Like that.
