A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was genderswapped and ageswapped. Any story can be made fresh with a different character because there are no original stories, only original ways of telling them.

So I don't think that a genderswapped James Bond is any less original than an all new female spy character.

Besides, like, what the Man From UNCLE is so original? Or Kingsman? Because it's okay for male characters to be unoriginal but not female characters?

+1 Whenever the topic of genderswapping comes up, there's always at least one person who goes, "But it's so UNORIGINAAAAAAAL..." Yes, and? Do you require all your media to be completely original concepts? How is that a valid objection?

To me, the fact that this allows you to recycle old stories and tropes is a benefit, not a problem. You get a fresh angle on them and you get to tell classic stories again. These are good things! Classic stories are good for a reason!
