I'm not against always!opposite sex either, but I feel that in fandoms with strong (old fashioned) gender roles people don't address how unsuited a woman would be for getting involved in things that world barely blinks and eye at for men. As I said in another comment, I don't think a lot of girl!Bilbo fics really look closely enough at how unseemly it would be for a hobbit woman (especially and unmarried one) to run off with thirteen dwarves, and though I'm not expert on GoT, I will just cite Brienne as an example I am aware of, of a woman dealing with the problems of not living a womanly role. Susch gender roles may have been worn down and done away with IRL, but denying they exist in some fictional worlds ignores great potential drama.
On a different note, my only issue with genderswap is fics that do always-a-girl to two male characters just for the sake of femmeslash. I don't actually mind that it exists, but I don't want to read it.
