Corrected entry: The Thermians say that the teleporter has never been tested, because it was designed to carry humans rather than Thermians. But they then test it on the pig-lizard creature, which is no more like a human than a Thermian is.

Correction: The Thermians do not say that the transporter was designed for humans. It was designed based on human movements, meaning Fred's movements to transport things. As such they built it but can't operate it properly.
He says it was built to "accommodate your anatomy." Next, he says that now Fred is there, Fred can operate it. These seem to be two different thoughts; he looks at Gwen's chest when he says "anatomy" so I don't think the issue is specific to Fred's movement style.
