Real oldhead 40k fans know that there were already female space Marines in the early days, if anything the boys-only-no-girls-allowed take is the retcon
Also magic space genetics are good enough to grow extra organs and make you basically immortal but a Y chromosome is too much to get past?
Gender essentialism runs deep in Western culture. I remember a tabletop homebrew WIP someone showed me where one of the races could magically shapeshift into other species as a basic ability. At the very end of their skill tree, the most expert-level technique, was changing sex. I wasn't nearly as clued in on trans issues as I am now, but I still remember thinking "But we can do that now, in the real world! We don't even need magic! That should be one of the easiest, most basic transformations!"
reproductive function is still mostly out of reach isn't it? there was a uterus transplant birth a few years ago but medical science is full of cowards so i haven't heard of a trans woman being the beneficiary of that technology or of stem cell gametes. Even in a cool place that would be a massive intervention
you could design a ritual in that fictional culture where if a couple has multiple children they swap sexes for each gestation. Excuse me i have a novella to write.
Shoutout to when Space Marines were brainwashed and drugged up shock troops who generally died in massive numbers in Ren and Stimpyish ways but got missions done that normal soldiers wouldn't be unhinged and fanatical enough to do and in the spare time they were ultra violent riot cops.
Really want to make a homebrew chapter that are like that but I don't have £506558 to spend on Warhammer stuff.
To be pedantic, "Female Warrior Jayne" and "Female Warrior Gabs" weren't space marines, because space marines didn't exist yet. They were part of the adventurer line of minis IIRC.
The better own these days is the named female gland hound made by Fabius Bile from the same gene cum as space marines, anyway.
