It irks me how it's never ever the "hot" character with more salivating fans who gets swapped, always the one people seem to think is effeminate to begin with.

You're making some kind of weird assumptions here. First, the idea that more "effeminate" characters aren't considered hot by fandom at large is simply untrue. Blair Sandburg, Legolas, Loki, Daniel Jackson, etc. all have their share of salivating fans...often even more so than their more "masculine" counterparts: Jim Ellison, Aragorn or Gimli, Thor, and Jack O'Neill.

Second, what does "effeminate" even mean with regard to most genderswapped characters and/or how do you determine relative degrees of effeminacy? Who's more effeminate between Kirk and Spock? Sam and Dean Winchester? Sherlock Holmes and John Watson? Cho Hakkai and Sha Gojyo? Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Bucky Barnes? The One Direction kids?

And the above paragraph is a bit of a trick question, because every one of those characters gets genderswapped regularly, so even if you think it's obvious that one of the characters in the second paragraph is "hotter," more popular, and more masculine than his counterpart(s)...well, he's still getting genderswapped.
