There's an interview where she discusses this:
"[Q:] In existing gender-swap stories, when a boy becomes a girl, there is always a scene where the boy checks every part of his body and blushes. Even in Ranma such a scene is briefly depicted, but it is played out very quickly.
Takahashi: I think it's because many of my works have a theme of sexual awakening, but in my case, I don't particularly want to draw something like that, but rather a fight between characters who can change into boys or girls. I just wanted to draw it, so I skipped that part.
[Q:] Female Ranma is often naked or in a swimsuit, and of course it's a kind of fan service, but the psychological depiction is still that of a boy, so it's not very erotic, or rather, it's a new form of "cuteness," isn't it?
Takahashi: If female Ranma were to be shy or embarrassed, it would look weird, depending on how it was drawn. I made Ranma a type of character that puts a priority on winning the battle without worrying if her clothes come off or not. Moreover, depending on the enemy, she may use her "womanhood" as a weapon (laughs)."
I think the bit where it is "many of my works" is mistranslated. It should be those works.
