I've made no secret about the fact that I really disagree with Daz's decision to abruptly abandon the both-genders-in-one-base feature of Genesis starting with the second generation. This is one of the reasons Genesis 1 is still my main go-to figure. However, that just might be about to change. In a roundabout way, Daz has returned to transgender morphing with Genesis 8! They provide clone morphs in the G8 Female that recreate the shapes of Genesis 3 Male, Genesis 3 Female, Genesis 2 Male, Genesis 2 Female, and the androgynous Genesis 1 base. For some weird reason, though, they're not visible to the user as parameters (at least not in Poser; I'm not sure about DS). Fortunately, I knew just enough about ERC coding that, with a little help from the indispensable Poser File Editor, I created a very simple PZ2 file that, when applied to the G8 Female, makes those legacy morphs visible. You can find them under Actor >> Legacy.

Even for some who aren't necessarily interested in transgender morphing, this might be useful in other ways, so for whatever it's worth, I decided to share this quick fix on ShareCG. Happy rendering!

Shoot! Someone at Daz just informed me that the rigging won't change with the shape, which means things will start looking really funky as soon as you start posing the morphed figure (at least for the males). I might have a work-around, though. If this generates enough interest, I'll report on how well it works.

Thanks for the tip. In Daz 4 go to the Parameters tab. Click on the tap properties icon above the "Parameters" tab name.(looks like 4 lines with an arrow) . Select "Show Hidden Properties". "Hidden/Clones" will show up in the parameters tab. The clone slider names will be grayed out. You can still use them. You also can right click and unhide them.

Re opening post: Fwiw right out of the box on day one, I found the male Gen 8 figure switch on the parameters and made him appear face and body all male. I haven't gone back to discover what other switches are in the figure, though.
