Yes, because she considered it "a cheap way around her rule that only women can be senshi"

It's a shame that they won't bring Stars over here...it happens to be the best in my opinion. It even has the best animation (Eternal Sailor Moon's second attack sequence is nothing short of astonishing), but it doesn't seem like it will ever get licensed over here due to the gender swapping...which makes me wonder why so much other stuff (including bizzare hentai titles like Nightshift Nurses and Cool Devices) like Ranma which practically revolves around a character who constantly switches genders, HAVE been licensed. o__O
