Tbh it's rare to find a well-written genderswap fic in the first place. It's always a complex issue and more work to make believable than casual fic writers want to put in.

In theory gender *should* not matter, but in practice it totally *does* matter due to how society perceives and acts about it. And characters' experiences are what make them well, themselves. So if you change those, you change the character. It's not their gender itself that forces the changes, it's the very different experiences that *being* that gender would have given them... that yes, lead them to basically be OCs.

It'd be the exact same for female->male genderswaps, too.

So I doubt it's your internalized misogyny, unless you for some reason adore when female characters are genderswapped to male and they *don't* feel like OCs and you like them better that way and see no issue with it and it's just the icky women you dislike.

If that's the case, yeah, start worrying.
