Second Law of Gender Bending: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

A fictional character that gets his or her gender bent often becomes gradually accustomed to life as a new man or woman. Eventually they likely will experience an epiphany: that they are better off in their new gender than they ever were in their old one. This is the Second Law of Gender Bending, where a gender bent person would, if offered a chance to revert to their former gender, turn it down because they have come to enjoy the benefits of the change.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* {{spoiler|Xion}} from [[Kingdom Hearts]] is an iffy example. {{spoiler|She is physically male or genderless but was treated as female throughout the game.}} Regardless, she considers herself female even after the reveal.

** {{spoiler|Her anatomy is clearly female at the start of the game and clearly male when she fights Roxas.}}

* Disturbingly subverted in the [[Eroge]] ''[[X-Change]]''. Takuya's life is almost unarguably ''worse'' as a girl (he goes from ignored milquetoast to [[Black Comedy Rape|potential sex toy for almost anyone in the school]]), but in the bad endings, she's too far gone or traumatized to care.
