Uses I can think of (for the elixer, at least):
Play an androgynous character and confuse people who try to guess/figure out your gender.
Best. Drag show. Ever.
Have the ability to accurately compare the pain of having half your arm melted off by a gelatinous cube (don't worry, the cleric fixed it... eventually) to the pain of birthing a child.
Girl's/Guy's night out becomes much less exclusionary!
