David Greven has a more positive view of the episode, even referring to it as "moving." He calls it the "infamous last episode" of the original series, in part because of the "campiness" of Shatner's performance when portraying himself as a female in a male's body, but also because of the sexist premise that "female desire for power was a clear sign of insanity." While accepting that "the sexism of the episode is indisputable," he argues that the exploration of the idea that man can inhabit a woman's body, and "vice versa," gives the episode a "radical" dimension, which he claims implies the interchangeability of gender and sexual identity.
