Yes, it is only the preview, and perhaps this is only how he feels "at first", but I would be much more comfortable with a character who from moment one was nonplussed about the gender change, if not pleased.

I watched the first episode. I am glad that it was presented the way I had hoped (he is uncomfortable at first, but isn't disgusted by it...he even has some moments of fun with it). It doesn't appear transphobic to me, which I am happy about.
