The rules are there for adding random chance and variable success to the narrative. No every RPG is “balanced” like D&DThe rules are there to balance the gameplay.

I don't think we really needed a critique by an insightful writer to point out that Hobbits are rural Englishmen. Is the Pope Catholic? No idea, let's go see if Neil Gaiman has written anything about the matter!I thought that was Moorcock, not Mieville. Or did they both hit the same point? In any case, I am usually a fan of variations on a theme.

My impression was that this was a change to the fundamental nature of all elves.
But you may want to tweet them for an official answer.
I don’t think most Orcs would choose to be female: the metabolic costs, the increased vulnerability... that wouldn’t sit well with their mindset, as typically depicted.Better yet, the winner gets to choose. For both.
Otherwise, this is cool!![]()
No its a minority of a minority who can physical change sex. Most Elves aren't The Blessed of Corellon, and only a few of the BOCL can physically change sex. But it can occur in any type of Elf.

If, OTOH, you followed through with your version, that would be an interesting subversion of Storm Constantine‘s Wraethu race as written.
IOW, BoCL is kinda the yang to the yin of becoming a Drider.
In mine, it isn’t.Think prison, it isn't a voluntary choice.
