Make no mistake, this whole situation probably is doing a number on Bishop. Then again, it wouldn't be the first thing.

Director Shelby doesn't want to get rid of Bishop, so he's giving them another chance.

And yeah, they can't go around wearing that one shirt (which is pretty much a dress at this point) and nothing else, since nothing they own will fit him now.

(I am using the neutral pronoun until such time as Bishop makes a determination regarding their gender in the wake of a change of sex.)

Hmm... I will take this under consideration...

I'm seriously thinking about banging out some art (at least a quick sketch) of any and all outfit suggestions you guys put forth for Bishop's new look.

That's one. :)

Bishop doesn't need to "hack it", (s)he has Falchionne for that job! ;-D

(S)he may furthermore need Ms. Knight for the inevitable shopping spree, if things play out similar to AB 1.0.

Heh...

A full-blown shopping spree for Bish may be a bit of a derailment from the main story, but as I commented above, there may be some art down the line for any and all suggestions that come down the pipeline.

Clothes suggestions, hmmm...

How about going into the stereotypical skater direction? It can be done somewhat unisex/tomboyish. Plus, (s)he would (appropriately) appear like an adult trying too hard to imitate a teenager. ;-)

I can see Bish giving everyone the finger and (s)he starts wearing Anime schoolgirl outfits...

(They ARE uniforms tho...)

There are a thousand different possibilities for what direction and how far Bish might go regarding new outfits.

That being said, this is the second "recommendation"... :)

Re: Butts

Intentionally or not, Shelby's not just referring to Bishop's teammates.

@sigpig: but they're sailor uniforms, which I hazard would be far more offensive to ol' Sojer Boy than merely getting transmogrified into another sex. Bish may be a woman, but she's still Green Side.

So, a little less Sailor Scout and a little more Soldier Girl. Check. :)

(I request further elucidation on the other comment here, sir.)

re: butts

Shelby just put his on the line too by not making the "safe" call and canning Bishop.

Yes, yes he did.

That is a measure of his faith in Bishop to actually d get the job done, by hook or by crook.

Hopefully, they justify that faith.

And yes, yes they are. :)

The pronoun conundrum is definitely a discussable topic. At this point, an observer would most decicedly see Bishop as a young female. Thd trouble comes where thkse who know Jack Bishoo, the middle-aged, very male person.

Some of them, before hearing Bishop's opinion, will probably still say "him". Others will say "her", based on appearance. And othsrs still will dance around the issue as much and as long as possible.

What everyone needs to know is, does Bishop fight, kicking and screaming, to hold on to whatever masculinity he can, or does she accept the hand she is dealt and try to make the best of it? In short, who and what does Bishop think they are now?

The answer is coming shortly. :)

And if you would like to discuss further, either here or in PM, I welcome it! :)
