Nothing would happen because the opposite of androgyny is still androgyny.

Nothing, in the sense that nothing would happen that would answer the question for us. As Demented suggested, his/her hair might turn green or something equally useless for telling us about his gender, and that'd be it.

I thin kthe answer is "palette swap": much as I think will be the case if/when we ever meet V's mate. I can also see that episode featuring pronouns like "hir", just to pile on the frustration.

V would look no different to us, but he/she would be terribly upset by the whole ordeal, thinking it a terribly obvious violation of his/her person, and would rant about it in a long drawnout manner that still gives us no hint of his/her gender.

I was tempted to put, "This poll is stupid" just because it appeared so funny to me when I saw it, but I did something silly like, the universe would explode. I guess I just needed a good laugh.

Anyway, I think it would make V a guy.

my money is the universe explodes, not the OotS universe, but the real universe. So for the love of all that exist I hope the Giant does not think about it.

My knee-jerk reaction was the same as Mapmaker's on this... although the incident with Roy in the same situation goes against that a little.

Nothing would happen--that is, V's appearence would not change. The other characters would not notice a difference, but V would be terribly upset and think the difference was obvious.

Well if you're suddenly missing several inches in your pants, you might think it was obvious too. Or vice versa.

S/he'd become a mix of typical feminine and masculine characteristics rather than being devoid of both.

Big beard, big breasts.

Well, his/her Gender would change, but we wouldn't notice, would we?
With Roy we noticed cuz he has really big boobs (what a weird sentence).
But Maybe V won't if he turns into a girl. And if she turns into a guy.......... well you'd have to look really closely to notice.

Or maybe nothing would happen. I don't think a Hermaphrodite would be affected by it......

Oh, and I don't think his/her hair would change color. Th ebelt specifically changes Gender. Roy didn't grow hair.

No, hermaphroditism is the opposite of no/neutral gender. The opposite of androgyny would be a clearly defined gender.

You know, maybe this is why no one can guess V's gender. Maybe he/she wears the belt from time to time. Yeah, i know Elan had it, but that can't be the only one...

The belt would work. V has a gender and the fact that nobody knows it does not negate the fact that he or she is indeed a male or female and the belt would thus turn him or her into her or him.

Quoted for truth.

Or the belt would explode... I don't know...
