I have to admit, I found it kind of weird when most people around here were acting like making a slash pairing het is the only reason for genderbending one character and not another.

I guess I just underestimate how much of fandom revolves around shipping. I have a hard time believing it when people say that's the only thing most people care about and I foolishly thought a lot of people who like genderbent fic were like OP.
