Sheepshead & some other fish are known to change their sex based, at least in part, upon age.

Some critters are known to switch sex, IIRC, based on environmental/population stresses.

What's the chance that this is a 'normal' response to fish in a marginal environment, that has started to tip slightly in favor of a sex change for them?

I dunno.

Down here we mostly fillet and cook them, not stare at their privates.
