Default Can you transferral potion to make Amazon fight a women?

I am at level 9, I knock the door and find an Amazon. No one has enough enhancers to make me lose the battle so a female player decides to use her transferral potion on the Amazon so she fights her instead. I don't think this should be allowed as transferral potion explicitly says that the potion makes the monster fight another player and Amazon will not fight female players. Is she allowed to use transferral potion in this way to stop me winning the game?

My opinion, which is not official, is yes, this is allowed. Then once she is in combat with the Amazon, the Amazon's special ability would kick in.

Enzzo is in essence correct. The Amazon would transfer to the female character, give her a Treasure, and peace out.

Ok You are the Czar so what you says goes, but I can't imagine an Amazon in the heat of battle and managing to get her out of combat.

It's a potion; potions do weird things. :)

It's easier to consider that the Transferral Potion doesn't really affect the monsters. It affects the Munchkins. The Amazon is all ready to fight the nasty male foe and all of a sudden, a potion comes flying in and the Munchkin turns into a female with totally different gear. The Amazon takes note, drops her single Treasure and leaves.

Can a female choose to fight the Amazon?

No, that makes things way more confusing. Let's address the way the card actually reads, please, and not twist it around just because we've found a weird edge case.
