genderswapping in fiction?
What are peoples' views on genderswap fiction?
One quite interesting fantasy series that has a genderswap as a major plot point was L. Frank Baum's original Oz series. Book #2 involves a young boy who gets involved in a quest to find a missing princess who was kidnapped as a baby by a witch. It turns out that the guilty witch is none other than the adoptive mother of the boy. Glinda interrogates the witch and forces her to divulge what she did with the princess. The witch reveals that she transformed the princess. "Into what?" "a boy" So the book ends with the protagonist being told that he must return to his true form, the aforementioned princess. By book #3, she's the most frilly Girly Girl in the entire universe. have you noticed that in most boy-to-girl genderswaps, the author has the new girl become extremely feminine - the character never stops to say "you may want me to wear lipstick and dresses and perfume, but i don't!". That's what ****** me off about the "Oz" genderswap - Baum has the restored princess say "I'm still the same old Tip" but by the next book she's wearing everything you'd think of as women's fashions and is very girly and an expert on Princess-ing. |
