** [[Author Appeal]].
* The Trope itself [[Just Bugs Me|JustBugsMe]], Genders aren't meant to be treated this way! It's just a [[Berserk Button]] of mine...
** Is what bugs you that the title should use the term "sex" rather than "gender", that it's unrealistic, or something else? If it's the first, I agree, but many people don't like to use the word "sex" in conversation, many people don't know the difference between gender and sex or believe that evolving language has turned them to mean the same thing, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"Sex Change Without The Use Of Realisting Time Frames Or Surgeries" isn't as]] [[Rhymes
*** Hello, I believe I was the OP here. Just to elaborate, it IS actually the third/another reason, "sex vs gender" always seemed overly picky to me and I'm not concerned about the realism, it's because I find it [[Squick|gross]] and [[Nightmare Fuel|horrifying]], to put it bluntly genders are not meant to be bent! Also, some might says it's [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|tri]][[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|vial]] but it also screws with how I categorise genders. Finally, I take issue with some of the reactions to this trope, mostly how everyone seems to find it interesting or sexy or whatever, and some of the issues it raises itself (Like [[Loss of Identity]], which is a good part of why I find the trope disturbing as well as gross, and the whole "[[If It's You It's Okay|If your lover was genderbent, would you still love them?]]" nonsense, that's something nobody should ever have to deal with, and something we REALLY shouldn't think about...). Wow, sorry about the [[Wall of Text]], but thanks for you reply and I hope that clears things up enough.
**** Loss of identity? If your identity only goes as far as your physical being, then you're a shallow person. Your body is important, but your mind has far more meaning.
