Line 209:
* Surprisingly rare in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. It's [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-06-17 strongly] [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-03-24 implied] that Tedd often does this ''intentionally'', but [http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2004-02-26 that's just how Tedd is]. In the one female-to-male example [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-01-09 Sarah decides she's become a good-looking guy after all.] but there's no actual touching involved. Given the sheer number of [[Gender Bender]]s in ''El Goonish Shive'' it's more interesting to note the number of characters (Ellen, Elliot, Grace, Justin, Nanase, Susan, and presumably, Vlad) who ''aren't'' shown doing this, implying that only someone like Tedd would actually enjoy it. (Elliot, like Sarah, does [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-07-05 examine his/her new self in a mirror] but that's as far as it goes.)
** Lampshaded in [http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/index.php?arcid=15 an EGS:NP strip] where Tedd and Grace conduct a [[MythBusters]]-style "test" to determine if [[Gender Bender|sudden sex changes]] always result in "man I feel like a woman" and wardrobe malfunctions. Their test subject (Elliot, who's been forced to become a girl often enough that it's not exactly a novelty any more) is not amused.
** Later, after Elliot gets magical powers but all he gets for a while are "turn into a girl" spells, it is theorized in-universe that doing this is the key to convincing his magic that he's satisfied with the spells he got, and is ready for something different. [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-12-13 He still has some problems with this, however.]
** Even Ashley (being the "goody two shoes" with transformation fetish) considers it the only option — "[//egscomics.com/comic/2015-07-06 how is taking a peek ''not'' the first thing anyone does after transforming?!]" and Elliot confesses he did, just thinks checking out oneself in a mirror is inappropriate on a date.
* In ''[[Misfile]]'', Ash Upton is [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=27 directly accused] of this. (Though it isn't actually shown.)
** S/he [https://web.archive.org/web/20071028102522/http://www.misfile.com/overlay.php?pageCalled=766 references it again] later on. Interestingly, it's getting beyond Man, I Feel Like a Woman that Ash finds most disturbing, since it feeds her fears of [[Second Law of Gender Bending|being assimilated.]]
Line 238 ⟶ 239:
* When Paul from [[Jix]] gets turned into a girl, he proceeds to grope his/her chest. In the same story arc, when Lauren gets returned to being a woman, she does the same thing having been stuck in a male body for so long.
* Averted in ''[[Girly]]'', where some of the people involved in the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] end up in opposite-gendered bodies, but there's not much reaction to it (though one man-turned-woman comments that this will probably make going to the bathroom awkward).
