Honestly, the appeal of genderswapping for me relies on how well integrated the actual canon characterization is with the swapped version (which sounds like what you've been doing all along, OP).

While yes, had that character been a different gender throughout the narrative then certain things would have happened differently, something must still have shaped them into the recognizable character we're presented with in canon. Aspects of their personality might have come about through different experiences, but if they exist in the canon portrayal then you damn well better find a way of explaining how they exist in the swapped version too.

If you change everything about them then you might as well be writing an OC.
