    So, I heard many people are allergic to this particular genre. Like how I saw many people complaining the necessity of Gender Bender Arc/episodes in a series. And always hate this particular tropes.

    So let me tell you what I think, people who bark the loudest are the most insecure one.
    Thank you.

    So what do you think?
    Personally I love this particular genre. I like how the behavior around the Protagonist differ with the different self they have. And their reaction when they discover the Protagonist true nature.

    By the way Trap and Reverse Trap are included in this.

    If its a male genderbent into female, and then he mates with a guy.. then I consider this a semi yaoi.. which I would prefer not to read at all... anything else is fine.

    It really depends on the character. I really hate it when pervy guys are put into a girls body. >_>

    Oh, I also have that kind of thinking.
    But most gender bender series is has a Herbivore type Protagonist.

    Too bad it doesn't updated anymore...

    My first gender bender series is Prunus Girl.
    Once you already opened that door to the New World, you can't turn back.

    One of the thing I hate about genderbender stories, is when this aspect is put to the wayside and forgotten about.

    This genre are one my guilty pleasures when it comes to light novels.

    There are stories I will call gender correction. One example is Only Sense online. If it wasn't for the manga showing the character out of the game I would be half expecting there be a twist the MC was really a girl raised as a boy.
