* ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'' Hazumu never expresses any desire to return to her former gender. Of course, the aliens announced from the get-go that she couldn't become a boy again even if she wanted to, but you'd think she'd have missed ''something'' about life as a boy, even if it was only the ability to write her name in the snow. However, since the gender change allows her to get together with the girl(''s'') of her dreams and his/her parents seem to prefer it she really doesn't have all that much to complain about. (It doesn't hurt that pre-change Hazumu was ''more girly'' than every other girl in the series and may even have been transgendered without realizing it.)
* Averted in [[Ranma One Half½]]: Ranma never, ever, ever stops looking for a cure for his curse (except for one filler episode after he hits his head) though he does stop complaining about it. That said, Ranma starts to bring his macho approach to acting girly and cute. As seen in his competition with Tsubasa, Ranma's competitive streak is so hardwired that he even refuses to lose in a contest of femininity.
** This doesn't stop him from exploiting the advantages of his female form for one minute, however.
* Happens {{spoiler|at the end}} of ''[[Cheeky Angel]]'' when Megumi finally realizes/admits that {{spoiler|she'd been a girl all along: lacking the power to grant her wish to become male the trickster spirit had given her a purely mental [[Gender Bender]] instead. Since the delusion had helped her foster the tough, fair, forthright, and assertive (i.e., stereotypically "male") aspects of her personality Megumi considers her wish granted nonetheless.}}
