Gender-bending fictional characters

[Felix]

Disney Ariel is really hot as a guy. I think I'd like him to have a tad more chest hair, though.

Even without the "fanfiction version of popular characters" caveat, I can't think of a lot of gender bending examples. When I was a kid I remember finding girls who pretended to be boys in fairytales, but never the other way around, and I think it was usually pretty heavily implied that they only pretended to be boys so they could get full human rights or marry princesses.

Like Viola from Twelfth Night.

Fan fic wise? I really haven't seen a lot of gender bending outside of Loki. There is a decent fan base for Tony Stark's female form because in the comics during the Civil War run Reed was viewing alternate realities and in one of them a female Tony was married to Steve Rogers. I don't see it often but the fic is out there and Tony's pretty pansexual as it is. Thought I'd mention it even though the true fan base for that is Superhusbands lol.

Also male Ariel is hot!

Yeah...it was a pretty weird timeline...but spawned an amazing volume of "Iron Woman" fan art xD

Hair increases friction in the water!

Erica Porcupine. a transgirl from my Get Along Gang fanfics. I didn't draw her, though. Kytri here on the forums drew her (along with 2 other original characters of mine and a teenage version of Portia Porcupine).

Oh, is she related to Portia?

I've some female cosplays of the Avengers. Awhile ago, I also saw some female cosplays of Bilbo and the dwarves (minus beards) from The Hobbit.

Odd. I believe Tolkien's female dwarves are also supposed to have beards. How's that for gender bending?

eeeww NO! No chest hair, eeewww (sorry, it turns me off sort to speak) Plus as was said, it slows you down in water. I'm not attracted to guys but, even I can admit when someone is hot..

Yea, such as Mulan to Ping in order to get into the army to keep her father alive who is too old to be in the war and now that you mention it, I too can't think of any fairytales with guys being girls, only girls being guys..

Also, Neptune and Uranus (I don't know their names) are "cousins" and Neptune was kissing "Brad." Because hinting at incest is somehow better than calling them lesbians.

Yea no, I was already aware of this fact but until I watched that vid, it never bothered me but now it DOES bother me, a lot actually and it's discomforting really. I'm just glad the new remastered version will have a new dub with no cuts and all the original text/scenes and such, including the long awaited Sailor Stars season is finally being dubbed in all it's glory! I'm just, waiting for that dub to be released and, I'll probably watch all 200 episodes..

To the bolded, perhaps incest was more talked about/shown back then than gay/lesbian stuff was? Otherwise, yea, stupid and makes no sense. Then again, Rini was always clinging in a loving way to her Dad and calling him her boyfriend and such and there WAS that scene where Rini was grown up and kissing her Dad on the mouth >_> (I don't mind this, but for them to show this and edit lesbian and other such stuff..)

One of my favorites, I found out about Moyashimon's Kei Yuki from a post here.



Poison from Final Fight/Street Fighter is supposed to be trans too.

Claybourne Humphries of Are You Being Served?  Classic.



My book serial does feature a tonne of LGBTs, and I have a feeling that the protagonist, Connor, will transition later in the serial.  She's a cis-woman, but very masculine.  I think that's why her pansexual male lover is so attracted to her.  Connor and Kenton both love to flip off 'traditional gender roles' by any means possible.

Oh, is she related to Portia?

No. She moved to Green Meadow from the small town of Pine Corners due to the constant harassment that she dealt with there. Pine Corners was a tiny mountain town that actually existed in the Get Along Gang world. Portia does have a younger cousin that I created named Patricia that lives in Pine Corners. Dotty Dog also has a younger cousin that lives in Pine Corners, as well. Her name is Doris. Those two characters are latter grade school age. So, they would have never crossed paths with Erica since she was a Freshman in high school. She has plenty of friends at this point (not to mention a couple of friends that are more than willing to kick some ass in her defense if that situation arises.) I also started a subplot of sorts since she's become the girlfriend to Bingo Beaver.

Both Hellsing and Black Butler have been dubbed. Alucard from Hellsing at one point takes the form of a teenage girl. Grell from Black Butler is a non-op trans woman.

I knew about Grell but, I don't care for Hellsing, anyway, that's two and I just remembered there is a trans person in Haganai but aside from these three anime (And ranma) there are so many more that never get a dub.

OH GAWD! I shouldn't be surprised seeing as I'm aware they edited the dub big time but, this, THIS!? I honestly thought she was a girl this whole time. *Speechless* Really though, imo in the dub she is a girl, Japanese though is another story. Anyway, I've heard in the final season of Sailor Moon which never got dubbed someone had a sex change (I've got a good guess who) but wouldn't know more and am still trying to get around to watching it.

In the last season of Sailor Moon, there's a few characters who are male when out just doing their thing, but when they use their abilities, they turn into women. And yeah, that's why the last season was never brought over in any form. I think they're going to release it fairly soon though.

Actually, in the manga they were never male anatomically, and when the anime happened and they did that to them it displeased (I forget the person's name) the person because it went again their wishes because their rule was that only females could be Sailor Senshi (Sailor Scouts for the dub). Also, the real reason why the last season was never dubbed is because Toei Animation never put it up for licensing, thus, they couldn't dub it. I won't lie when I say I question that though, as well as why they didn't put it up for licensing and yeah, the new remastered dub is supposed to come out this Aug. I believe it was.

Rule #63 apparently. Here's Ariel as a dood.

some people belive the little mermaid was written with HC using himself decribing the love he could never get from collin. in that sense Ariel is kinda a gender-bender character no matter how its put.

theres alot of gender-bender characters from manga and anime but right now, what comes to my mind is mustique from Xmen.

In the Marvel Ultimate universe (an alternate reality than the main Marvel storyline), Jessica Drew/Black Widow is a clone of Peter Parker.  She was created in a lab by Doc Oc and even has the memories of Peter Parker.  She says she has a female body, but has retained Peter's male mind, including an affinity for redheaded women.  She seems pretty comfortable with herself as she is though.
