I can see why he is more thrilled to be ambulatory again then concerned about being a woman.
Something similar happened in a very old El Goonish Shive story arc. A man who had been experimented on was turned into a bat monster, and through a willful form of transformation, could become far more humanoid. However, this transformation was life-threatening. At one goofy point during this story arc, he got turned into a human woman by a beam gun or something. She was quite happy about becoming a normal human.
