Not a lasting change, a change a few minutes after.
>Specifically, in Experiment I, we asked the participants to rate how masculine or feminine they felt after the body-sex-change illusion to assess the subjective and conscious facets of gender identity.

Ok so experiment 1 was “rate how masculine or feminine you feel” after getting touched and threatened with a knife in VR
>Explicit methods such as the one above provide information about participants’ phenomenological experience, but ideally, they should be combined with objective tests to provide more conclusive results. Therefore, in Experiment II, we used a well-controlled behavioral method—the Implicit Association Test (IAT)—to measure the cognitive and implicit aspects of gender identity; this test is largely immune to conscious strategies46 and has been validated for gender identity research in control47,48 as well as in transgender individuals48.
>The instruction for one block was as follows: “The test will start in a few seconds. Please listen to the instructions. Try to go as fast as possible while making as few mistakes as possible. If the word belongs to the categories female or self, press left. If the word does not belong to these categories, press right. The test will begin now.” The instruction for the other block differed only with regard to category assignment: “If the word belongs to the categories male or self, press left. If the word does not belong to these categories, press right.”
So they were testing the unconscious associations between “self” and ”female” I guess.
