Line 279:
** The series as it released is gender flipped compared to [[What Could Have Been|the scenario originally planned]]: Saber herself was originally going to be a male character and servant of a [[Meganekko]] who was the basis of Rin.
** The PSP game ''[[Fate Extra]]'' has {{spoiler|a gender-flipped Francis Drake and ''Nero Caesar''}} as Rider and the red Saber, respectively.
** Think about what happened to [[Joan of Arc]]. Hundreds of years ''after'' the time of Arthur, when people were much more open-minded about women in positions of power. There is a handwave about her pretending to be a boy,{{verify}} but it's hard to believe anyone would be fooled.
*** Not really that hard to believe - the paintings are not accurate. Joan of Arc was what we would call these days a "Bull Dyke".{{verify}}
* Colonel Sebastian Moran and Henry Irving from the [[Sherlock Holmes]] cycle have both been genderflipped in ''[[Shikkoku no Sharnoth]]'', though for the former it's quite possibly that it is not her real name.
* The doujin soft game ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20080116162616/http://www.download.com/3000-20-10536283.html Go! Magical Boy]'' is a [[Romance Game]] that switches the genders of the [[Magical Girl]] genre. {{spoiler|Well, mostly -- the player character looks like a girl to others when transformed and has to give up his powers to a legitimate girl in the end. So not the best game ever.}}
