Frank Horrigan could be trans considering super mutants lose all sex characteristics in their transformation. Horrigan is so lacking in self awareness that he could literally have forgotten that he used to live as another gender. I don't know the likelyhood of getting trans healthcare in the Imperium, but if it makes a soldier more effective, they might provide testosterone treatment to Cain. Degurechaff is already a gender-swapped character, so we don't even need to stretch the story to make them trans.

Also, none of these characters seem to be heroic in any way. Fascinating

    Gen 1 and Gen 2 super mutants retain their primary sexual characteristics so unless the Enclave scientists who further enhanced Frank decided to do further modifications I'd assume he still has whatever original equipment down there.

    Also I was just referring to non Transhuman characters, Cain and Tanya are some of the only ones I can think of that aren't beyond human in one way or another, which for reference would include Jedi. Funny enough while it's not focused on the Biologis faction of the Mechanicus could maybe do genomic level modifications on baseline humans and given how the average tech priest looks I wouldnt be surprised if they swapped their biology around for fun once in awhile.

    I guess it must've been a retcon then in later games.

    Also, doesn't Tanya have notable magical power?

    East coast super mutants don't have primary sex characteristics, West Coast ones do. The master was trying to explicitly trying to replace mankind with super mutants which required the ability to procreate, also you can hire a prostitute for Marcus in Fallout 2 and he jokes about it.

    Tanya requires a computational orb to store and use magic effectively, presumably if you stripped her of said computational orb she would be rendered into a physically strong but overall standard human even if she can do magic manually itd probably be slow and severely reduced, just as I can hammer in a nail with a hammer but not with just my hand. Meanwhile even untrained force sensitives can still be human plus in nature due to innately enhanced reflexes and pretanatural instincts see kid Anakin and Han Solo for both. Also the upper limit for force sensitives is absurd see Valkorian/Vitiate/Tenebra for how busted they can get.
