Line 1:
{{trope}}
* Being a [[Transgender|Transsexual]], the very existence of this trope not so much bugs me as annoys the heck out of me, to the point that works which (realistically) portray the negative consequences of involuntary sex-switch feel like a breath of fresh air.
** I agree. In a lot of gender-bending, or body-switching, situations the character seem very comfortable. No dysphoria, no nothing.. No one even thinks to just transition back into their gender the way a [[Transgender|Transsexual]] does.
** Part of this may come from the [[Law of Narrative Causality]]. if they solved the gender swap, you'd have no plot.
** Since this trope is most frequently invoked in the conclusion (where narrative causality is no longer relevant) I think it more likely stems from widespread endorsement of [[The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body]], particularly in cases where the transformation is total rather than cosmetic.
