Exciting series, but the underlying assumption of misogyny makes this somewhat harder to enjoy. I don't want to wet blanket for long as we are all here for the same reason, and that's not to read deeply into social issues, so here goes...
In the first caption you state the reason the men need to swap bodies is that they blew their cover. In the fourth captain you say a young female agent volunteered to be part of the swap.
So, an older man who has already shown he is bad at his job by blowing his cover is STILL more qualified to use the body of the female agent than she is? If sex is such a powerful weapon for spies, is there any reason a female couldn't be trained to use it?
You seem like a really sharp person, and I don't think you really believe this, but clearly the idea is present subconsciously. Coming up with as many unique and varied storylines as you do can't always be easy. The whole idea of body swap innately involves taking ownership of something deeply important to another person, so maybe the whole idea of m2f tg fiction is inseparable from some level of misogyny.
PS you are the best captioner working, please keep it up, just some food for thought.
Great stuff!!
