Line 15:
Since most [[Gender Bender|gender benders]] are male-to-female this frequently results in scenes where the newly minted "girl" is confronted with all of the "requirements" of his new gender, which can include [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|skirts, hose, makeup, high heels and other trappings of femininity]] which, while common, are by no means mandatory in real life.
This frequently results in a [[Family

Line 39:
* ''[[The Marvelous Land of Oz (Literature)|The Marvelous Land of Oz]]'': After Tip is turned back into Princess Ozma, he instantly transforms from a fairly rambunctious boy to an exceedingly girly girl. However, given the date of publication (1903) it's highly unlikely anything else would have been considered acceptable.
** While this can be handwaved by saying "[[A Wizard Did It|a sorceress did it]]" (not that the rest of the Oz magic made any sense), [[Fanfic]] occasionally deconstructs this by establishing that Tip is still Tip and the Ozma personality is just a mask put on for the sake of the people.
* [[Piers Anthony]]'s works frequently include gender bending, usually accompanied by this trope. He tends to write natural laws into his settings which force certain behaviors and responses onto characters based on their physical sexes. Several of his books also combine this with [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]. A female will turn into a male and learn that males are such virile creatures possessed with such strong libido they must constantly struggle to contain those urges and not turn into rapists. Some specific examples:
** In ''[[Incarnations of Immortality]]... and Eternity'', Orlene is transformed into a man and immediately becomes an aggressive, misogynistic, testosterone-charged boor, attempting to rape her friend Jolie. Upon having her female form restored, she and Jolie are horrified and conclude that "Men have passions that women do not", and that the reason all men are not constantly overwhelmed with violent lust is that "they have learned control".
** ''[[Xanth|Crewel Lye]]'' in which a male character and a female one switch bodies. The former woman is overcome by hormones and can't resist planting a kiss on her old body. She concludes that men just can't help their piggish instincts, and gains new respect for the male character when she realizes how restrained he has been.
Line 71:
* ''[[Sailor Sun]]'': Bay is forced to dress as a [[Magical Girl]] for her acting job and later forced to act as surrogate mother for two successive [[Kid From the Future|Kids From The Future.]]
** It's worth noting that Bay was turned into a woman ''because'' the production crew wanted him/her to be a magical girl. Later in the webcomic, Bay is startled to realize that she genuinely likes guys (she used to think it was fascination with their muscles, since her female body was different).
* Played with in ''[[I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle]]'': Jean's ''[[I Dreamof Jeannie]]''-inspired powers means her clothing reverts to the iconic ''[[I Dreamof Jeannie]]'' harem girl outfit whenever she reverts to her base genie form and circumstances always seem to be forcing her to "girlify" her outfit even when she changes it into something else. However, she's also shown experimenting with stereotypical female outfits ([[Sailor Moon]], [[Kim Possible]] and [[X Men|Rogue]]) in a G-rated [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]] sequence.
* A major driving point in the furry webcomic ''Beyond the Veil'', in which the attractive, busty young rat girl is in fact the latest body for a deposed intergalactic '''emperor'''. "She" takes to her new body very well, more than happy to have her similarly [[Grand Theft Me|body-riding]] male second-in-command as a lover, with a lot of privileges.
