Hey, look at me! I'm establishing a thing in advance! Sort of. We now know with certainty that Tedd has a belt. Of course, we can clearly see he has a belt, but now we know it can return people to being human! For reasons! It's a pretty fancy belt.
There is an explanation for why Elliot is bisexual in a female form beyond "well, he's a girl now, so..." that will be addressed much, much later on.

Of course, who knows what would really happen if you had a ray gun that could just suddenly do that. All sorts of things about a person could change after that dramatic and complete a biological shift. For all we know, they'd suddenly like different foods or something.
