I've heard that genderbending is problematic because it's a way of playing with gender in fiction that avoids dealing with trans issues. The argument goes something like, "well, if you want to write 'x' as a woman, why not write them as a trans woman?!?" Ignoring the fact that maybe what the author wishes to explore is the experience of a character who has been assigned a certain sex from birth that happens to be different from their canon sex. On the less virulent end, I've heard people suggesting that the term 'genderbend' be changed to 'cis-swap' as a compromise.

Yep, I've heard this all over the place too. But people ignore that making characters into trans characters instead of just swapping their gender, can make actual trans people very uncomfortable.
