Director Sex Change and Movie Monster

So the male director David Michael Hillman became Melanie Anne Phillips after writing "The Strangeness".

The monster is a potato with tentacles & a vagina for a head.
Should we be keeping an eye on directors (Roger Donaldson, Peter Medak, Brad Turner, & Nick Lyon) & writers (Dennis Feldman, Chris Brancato, & Ben Ripley) of the "Species" series of movies to see if they are inspired to chop of their male parts?
