But the whole point of Irene is that she one-upped Sherlock Holmes. That she was a women makes it doubly awesome. Women don't get to be that intelligent all that often.

Genderbending that would be really frustrating.

True, but I was thinking more along the lines of just the idea of Irene. None of the recent adaptations have made her true to the original character anyway, so if they insist on making her a love interest (which she wasn't in the original) why not make her a guy too?

If an adaptation was faithful to the original stories then obviously she should stay female because to change that pretty much defeats the purpose, but in something like Elementary where things are already so different than the original canon anyway I think it would've been kind of cool to make Sherlock bi and Irene a guy.

I'm probably not making sense, but I guess mainly I just want him to have a male love interest someday.

And she was written in the 1890s.

Also, the point of her in adaptations is, again, to assure the audience that Holmes is straight. If they're gonna genderswap her, they should just do Holmes/Watson.

Yep, on second thought Holmes/Watson would make way more sense.

Male Irene sounded like a good idea in my head lol, but yeah, in practice it wouldn't really work.

I feel you. I once played around with a genderswapped Sherlock Holmes in my head (with every character genderswapped) but even then, when Male!Irene wasn't a love interest, I felt vaguely irked by the idea. Even if he was the one man who could one-up fem!Sherlock, making Irene a man rankles.
