SPOILER WARNING! Many of the plot points of earlier episodes are mentioned here. This can be seen as something of a summation of what went before Chapter 39 Ucchan's where Ranma's sexual journey began. But it is also a notice of a future development from one particular lost story thread.
This story is not about sex but gender. It is set in a late 1980's that mixes with, from the perspective of our universe, the early 1990's: a time when binary gender identity was the unquestioned norm. Ranma dys-ease with having a female brain-body is a reflection of those born with the brain-body of a gender other than the one their chemistry says they actually are.
Note: In an effort to show the problem Ranma is having with gender identity, the different pronouns ('her', 'she', 'he', 'him', 'his') are used to indicate which is the more relevant at the time. 'S/he' indicates the increased ambiguity or conflict. Japanese, though, has no gender distinction in its pronouns. That is in the grammar and words used.

Chapter 46
While Akane was in Ukyo's bedroom changing out of the samue pajamas, Ranma had flashbacks to the times they had taken a shower and a soak together…and s/he had washed her bare back. S/he scrubbed her down from her exposed shoulders all the way down to….
Except s/he hadn't! It wasn't polite to go below the lower back. How s/he now wished she had soapily slipped down to where Akane's wide, pliant butt had reached the plastic stool!
Still s/he had touched her nakedness many times….
‒With lady fingers! When he had been a girl, too! With her own wide, plaint butt: *Groan!*
But there were times when he had held her as a man! Remember those times! He had held Akane in his arms when he himself‒MALE‒had kissed her at the end of the Furinkan Battle of the Sexes!
Only he had done it as "Romeo": A role!
And he had done it front of a stadium audience of hundreds! There were hundreds, too, seeing him kiss Akane as he came out of his Cat Fist Stupor at the end of the Big Street Event of the All-Girl Slave-for-a-Day Tournament!
"I'll get the p.j.'s for you to wear, Ranma-kun!" Ukyo said.
He had touched Ukyo in front of the same people, too. But only on her lips. Only that counted as the rest of her body was being controlled by a demon.
There were others: He had kissed Kodachi to seal up her Femininity Theft Technique and had done it front of everybody‒including Akane‒at the department store during their Win-a-Date Raffle obligation! S/he had kissed Mikado to break his Thousand-Kisses Spell that would have allowed him to mind control girls! That had happened in front of everybody at the Shibuya Arena! Shampoo had kissed her in front of her village during their Women Hero Championship Contest! None of those times had been private and personal.
Only there was one time it was. S/he had kissed a hero pig. A pig that turned out to be Ryōga.
Come to think of it, when s/he had first met him in Nerima, he had fixed the strap of her geta sandal. Wasn't there something about that being a romantically cliche way of meeting a man a girl is destined to love?
Hey, wait! Ryōga was the real winner of the DATE raffle!
Ranma had a flashback to when he those times he had shared the furo bathtub with the very male and naked Ryōga…Was the pad under her fundashi panties so saturated with her "sex sap" it was leaking?
"RANMA!" Both Ukyo and Akane ran out of the bedroom on hearing her scream. "What's the matter!?"
"Ryōga's a cat, now; Ryōga's a cat, now. As long as I remember that, I should be safe!" the little redhead told herself. "I hate cats!"
"Maybe not so much any more," Akane practically whispered. Would Ranma's new Maneki-neko ability lead to less fear?
While Ukyo asked Akane what that meant, Ranma was telling herself, "Focus. Focus on something else!" S/he was looking down towards the floor.
And then s/he was looking at her out-in-the-open, pumped-up-with-arousal breasts, aching to be touched, fondled, grabbed….
The army green samue shirt landed on top of her head, covering both her eyes and boobs. "You weren't actually going to grope yourself in front of us, were you!?" Ukyo challenged.
"Uh, no. Of course not," the redhead said weakly as s/he pulled the shirt off her red face and began putting it on. When s/he tied it, s/he felt her erect nipples poking against the cloth, being rubbed every time s/he moved and made even more sensually sensitive…
The shirt still had some of Akane's warmth, some of her scent. What would it be like for her girl friend to finger those nipples, tweak them, suck‒ "No! No! NO! I gotta be a man!
"I need pants! I need to at least LOOK like a man! To remember: I AM a MAN!"
"Here." And Akane handed the soft, cotton pants to her girl friend.
That's when Ranma realized the crow-haired beauty was only in her panties and bra. Never had lingerie ever been more attractive to her. Only thing better would be not seeing them on her.
Somebody noticed her noticing: "Oh-kay, Slave, time to get you out of me place!" Ukyo told Akane and hustled her back into the bedroom, slamming the door! In surprisingly short time, she had the other woman dressed and was escorting her out of the apartment's front door, down the hall and stairs to the restaurant. "There's the exit, Sugar. Don't come back for 18 hours, the length of your slave time."
As she watched the girl her man lived with leave, she thought. ('Now that Ranma-honey has a reason to stay with me, I don't need her around any more to keep him here.')
She was headed back to help with his manhood when she heard Shampoo cry out inside the apartment! She rushed in!
Ukyo herself yelped when she saw a short, red-haired stranger where Ranma should have been.
"Well, what do you think?" Different was even the voice of the angular person whose samue shirt nearly hid a small bust. "I'm still working on the Shaped Aura technique. I'm sure I can look even more like a man!"
"Shampoo think Ranma no make handsome man. Or cute girl."
"She's right about that, Honey."
"I'm not tryin' to be handsome! I don't wanna be cute!" But saying that broke her concentration and her aura lost its many, odd facets and returned to its normal form.
"Shampoo think Ranma no tell truth. All people want look good. Even Mustache Man look too-too handsome when no Demon Head."
"That's it! I'll use Mr. Tendō's technique to shape my aura!" But Ranma was always too scared of it to pay attention of how that was done. Man! It was worse than the actual, real demon that had possessed Ukyo he had fought off! Still, if s/he could get past it and remember enough of the detail…
"Ranma no worry about how be man. Shampoo know Airen man at heart! Now is time Airen learn make too too wonderful love to Shampoo!"
"Not in MY place, Sister!" Ukyo protested. "Or do you want me to make you my slave?(!)"
"If Shampoo slave, Shampoo always slave. Girl What Want Be Boy want never be rid of Shampoo?(!) And never be rid of slave-husband of Shampoo, also. Have harem?"
"What?(?)" Ukyo was confused. Was that true? What were the other problems she could be facing now that she was a slave master!? She hadn't wanted to be! She had just wanted an all-out battle with her childhood friend!
"Candidate need know: Woman hero lose face and no be worthy be true Womans Hero if make nice-nice with low slave before make love with honorable airen!" Shampoo's thighs came together and her hands pushed down towards them as she remembered the many times she had been tempted to say "Screw it!" and grab Mousse! The cursed frustration had made their femdom and malesub relationship all the more harsh. (Though it had trained him to be a better masochist.)
"And Ranma-honey is the airen that's going to allow you to fuck guys(?) Even a slave-husband, isn't that right, wannabe slut(?)!
"Well, KNOW this: Ranma's my airen! And I have prior claim! We've been engaged with a marriage agreement for ten years! If anybody's going to get jiggy with him, it's ME!"
"Is okay with Shampoo. But only if Shampoo get turn, too! Girl What Want Be Boy want try threesome?"
"Boy, you really are desperate, aren't you. ‒And I don't want to be a boy! That was a disguise! I'm a girl!"
A wet sport was appearing on the crotch of Shampoo's pants. (And it made the abashed redhead check her own pants.) "Is no matter! Girl of Womans Hero can only make nice-nice with other warrior girls until airen conquer girl with honor! Shampoo champion Top Girl! Shampoo teach Way of Melty Pleasure!" And then she sighed, "Ahh-yeah…."
"That…sounds…appetizing…." The chef thought back to when she had come closest to having sex with anybody besides herself. The middle school boys she had had to hang out with in the all-boys schools had exposed her to enough hentai that she hadn't considered there was anything wrong with going all the way with a girl. In fact, she had thought it was the way to go until she found somebody she would risk getting pregnant over. What was more, there was a girl who was very willing to go to bed with her!
But Tsubasa was a boy! ‒A boy?! He wasn't a mere boy: When he had untucked his junk it had seemed monstrous in size! She had been certain it could never fit inside her!
"Uh, Ranma-kun, Honey, how big are you?"
"I'm too big!" The redhead glared down as her hands hovered near her throbbing boobs.
"I mean long."
"And my nipples are too long!" Not to mention what was poking against her fundoshi panties.
"Uhh…." Ukyo turned away from the zoned out boy stuck on being stuck as a girl while horny. "Okay, Shampoo! W'll give it a try! We can't count Ranma as a proper "airen" until he has the manhood to be fully a man with, but at least when he has we'll have seen that he understands what a girl likes in the love-making department!
"One condition, though: No dildos!"
Shampoo picked up the latex prosthetic the okonomiyaki vendor would sometimes stuff under her tight tights. "Pervert Girl never use this? Is floppy, yet…"

Sweating, Akane had ran as fast as she could all the way home. It was past 2 o'clock in the morning, but she was sure at least one person in the house was still awake. And she knew just where to find her!
Nabiki was in the tea/common room going over the books from the tournament she had organized. So far, she hadn't discovered any major losses. May she never, ever make a mistake like the Gosunkugi bet again!
"Nabiki! Where's your obi! You have more than one, don't you! Give me your widest! Give me them all!"
"May I ask why you want them?" the middle sister said after swallowing the bite of her seaweed cracker.
"Ranma wants an obi! And your getas, too! I'm going to use them as an excuse to go back to Ucchan's!"
"Your slave master kicked you out? I wouldn't disobey her if I were you. Believe me, you'll regret it."
"And why(?)!"
"Because of the Kodachi Clause."

Ranma wins battles by (strategically) kissing? That, along with telling the truth, seems to be why s/he is succeeding where other incarnations still have the Chaotic Luck that is the actual Jusenkyo training ground they are constantly being tested by. Notice it takes two to do those. A Cuīhuàjì and a Fàngkāi; a Change-maker and their Pathway-Opener. "Dao" means pathway.
Ranma and Ryōga?! For now, I'll remind you that in Daoism nothing is entirely yin/female or yang/male. That will be explored when the time comes. Right now, his/her sexual awakening is being explored through his fiancees.
Even though the manga and anime never actually called Mousse a slave-husband, I think it sums up their depiction of him quite well. He is a servant who, who for the greater part, accepts the abuse his mistress casually throws at him. In fanon, Kodachi can be a dominatrix, but I think Shampoo has more experience at it. And Shampoo is a mistress. That is why she doesn't get rid of him like anybody being stalked should. Cologne certainly has the power to get rid of Mousse if there wasn't a good reason for why she can't.
So, in this universe, Ukyo absolutely knows Tsubasa is a crossdresser.
Will Shampoo's plan work?
