The only time I really have a problem with it is if it's for a slash/femslash ship to make it het. But that's really it, and I'm not going to shout down people who do, I'll just avoid it. Otherwise, they're fine and harmless fun and I've read some trans* individuals used it as a way of experimenting.

And the "just make a character trans" argument never really worked with me because it's not really the same. Not to mention rule!63 stories tend to come about it in two ways:

1) was always that gender to begin with (as in what if Steve Rogers was born a girl/always a girl) or
2) magical/science/whatever transformation (as in what if Steve Rogers was hit by chaos magic and suddenly has a female body)

The former would mean the intent was to keep them cis (Steve Rogers is born a girl and the writer intends to write her as such) while the latter implies that just because they have physically changed genders doesn't mean they just suddenly start thinking themselves as the opposite sex. (Steve Rogers is now female because magic! But he still thinks of himself as a he and isn't suddenly going to go around thinking of himself as Stephanie)

You ALWAYS have a problem with slash--> het? I genderbend sometimes to make slash into het because I like a pairing's dynamic but two dicks doesn't do it for me the way a dick+vagina does. Also I like them to make babies and mpreg is a squick for me. Just sayin'...it's not necessarily due to "HISS GET THE EVUL SLASH AWAY FROM ME"

Pretty much. Though in the case of Kirk/Bones, to use as an example, I ADORE them as a pair as is. But I also like the idea of Kirk as a woman in the relationship. I just do. Sometimes I seek out fem!Bones paired with male!Kirk. I like the dynamics and the subtle changes involved (with a good writer anyway) when one or both are changed to the opposite gender.

I'm honestly more bothered with #2 if the opposite happens without anything in the fic indicating the character is trans.
