First Law of Gender Bending	comment	Not only are male-to-female Gender Benders a lot more common than their female-to-male counterparts, they are also more likely to stay transformed. One might think that the same Applied Phlebotinum that can change a male into a female should just as easily be able to do the opposite, but that's rarely the case in fiction. This can be justified by the plot in any number of ways. Maybe the phlebotinum is reversible but a Phlebotinum Breakdown crops up at just the wrong moment. Perhaps our protagonist now has gender-based superpowers and needs them to save the day. Or maybe the phlebotinum works by copying the X chromosome and deleting the Y, and now there's no way to recreate it. Or maybe the person in question decides they would rather stay this way, in which case see the Second Law of Gender-Bending. Regardless of its in-universe rationale, the way this law comes into effect is tied to the work's status quo: if the show's selling point is that a man has to learn to live as a woman, expect the change to be either permanent or go through repeated but short-lived reversals, at least until the finale. If it's a single episode's plot, expect it to last most of the episode's runtime. An important but not always stated aspect of gender bending is that becoming a woman is seen as an inherent demotion, punishment, or loss of status, which can be seen even in a lot of feminist works, and watching someone suffer is usually more entertaining than watching them prosper. A typical example is the Handsome Lech having to be on the receiving end of the Male Gaze. In contrast, female-to-male gender benders are not only less common, but are typically resolved quickly and easily, ultimately reinforcing the woman's original femininity because Women Are Wiser. Since Most Writers Are Male, each character is likely to look much more attractive as female than male, giving another incentive against restoring matters. And if they don't change their mannerisms, a girl behaving like a boy will usually be more popular than a boy behaving like a girl. This trope may also reflect the fact that, historically, trans women seeking treatment were more common than trans men seeking treatment, so trans women had comparatively more visibility. Before you ask, there is indeed a Second Law of Gender-Bending, and even a Third Law of Gender-Bending. They may or may not overlap with the First Law. This trope was originally named "Mandy's Law of Anime Gender Bending", after the person who first promulgated it and the source of her inspiration.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_1161f77d	comment	Played with in Disgaea Dimension 2 with Laharl; In episode 4, he gets turned into a woman, but it's explicitly said to be temporary and he regains his manhood after the episode. ... Unless you lose to Hoggmeiser during the fourth stage, which results in the episode's Bad Ending where Laharl is forced to become an idol; he only agreed to the deal because he fully expects to turn back into a guy soon anyway and thus null the contract, but he winds up remaining a girl for longer than expected... Probably forever. Later on in the Postgame, one can pass a bill in the Dark Assembly to change Laharl back into a woman. Having done so, the bill to change him back into a guy is far more expensive to suggest and is met with near universal opposition... Though this is probably justified because the bill to turn Laharl female again is essentially called "I want to be popular again!", implying Laharl is way more liked as a woman.

But once that can of worms was opened, they never could close it again. Dave may not remain a woman permanently, but they transform on many occasions, particularly after Helen and Dave fall in love and start having sex a lot.. It is treated less as a plot point and more as a "thing mad scientists do", along with drugging the coffee and breeding super-gerbils. Also, Dave gives birth to their child. He works it out beforehand, given that Helen's a mad scientist.

Those with a high manliness index, however, can transform back into men for a short time, with the max being somewhere around 12 hours a day. Most of them start off horrified but eventually get used to it.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½ observes the law in more than one way: Once Ranma acquires his gender-changing curse, no attempt at curing it works, at least not permanently. However, multiple situations where Ranma could be rendered permanently female are also undone, so the Law is still overruled by Status Quo Is God. The "rules" of Ranma's curse are biased in favor of the Law. "Cold" water will turn Ranma into a girl, but pretty much any temperature below body temperature will suffice. Turning back into a boy requires genuinely hot water. Simply warm water won't do it, so she is usually limited to two options: taking a hot bath or obtaining a kettle of just-boiled water. Ranma will generally attract whichever temperature water is the most troublesome at the moment, and since Ranma was born male, this usually translates to cold water and this Law. Among many supporting characters with their own curses, one other (Herb) has the same curse as Ranma, but no female is known to have a curse that makes her male.

After trying to bodyswap with Professor Xavier unsuccessfully, the only available body was a female clone of himself. "Miss" Sinister has since had a fling with Wolverine's son Daken, and is disturbingly attractive considering her origin. However, this character doesn't share Mister Sinister's memories, so it's debatable whether she is "really" him.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_1c7b6907	comment	The Dragon Doctors opens with the eponymous doctors, three men and a woman, encountering a curse that irreversibly turns men into women; the male doctors fall victim, and in stopping the spread the female one is similarly irreversibly turned into a man. All four are ultimately cured, but while the woman goes back to being a woman, the other three each come up with a different reason to stay a woman. Even a nurse who opts to stay male soon falls prey to a magical accident that makes it unsafe for her to do so. It's important to note also that the cure isn't generally available, so countless others are still stuck.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_2ce1b491	comment	Played with in the first sequel to The Wizard of Oz. While the protagonist Tip was born as a female, they were transformed into a boy shortly after birth and raised as such. At the end of the story, their true gender is revealed and they're transformed back into a girl, which is how they remain for the rest of the series. The backstory explaining this is revealed at the same time as they're transformed, meaning that, from a narrative perspective, the trope is played straight (a character who was previously only identified as male becomes female and then stays that way). Also, in a more meta sense, the author's disinterest in continuity means that the character's backstory was rewritten a few times, with only the original version mentioning their time spent as a boy.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_323e6d34	comment	La Lola is a telenovela that originated in Argentina, and has been adapted in many other markets. Most of them deal with this trope: In the Argentinian and Spanish versions, Lalo tracks down the witch who turned him into a woman, and she agrees to turn him back (after laughing for a while). They hold hands, she starts her mystic chanting... and promptly falls backward, dead. The Chilean version gets way more convoluted, as both Lalo/Lola and Pepa/Pepe can't get back to normal and when that happens it's just for a few episodes. In later episodes, there are two Lalos or Pepas thanks to the later-added conditions to the spell.

Near the end of John Byrne's run, the body of Walter Langkowski (a.k.a. Sasquatch) was destroyed. Under new writer Bill Mantlo, his spirit eventually ended up merging with the body of the shapeshifter Snowbird, who died while in the form of a white-furred Sasquatch. Walter soon discovered that Sasquatch's new "human" form was, like Snowbird, female, and she lived for several years as Wanda Langkowski. Wanda's sex change was only one of several major changes to the Byrne-era status quo, most of which were reverted when he was off the book, and Sasquatch regained both his manhood and his original orange fur.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: SCP-113 can switch the genders of whomever touches it through a quick but somewhat painful transformation, but it seems to be unable to change them back to their original gender. When a D-Class who had just gone through the transformation was given SCP-113 again, they ended up suffering liver and kidney failure and died after the fact. Subjects who had much greater gap between exposures managed to survive the re-exposure, but the transformations they experience are random and don't always have to do with their sex. Through a series of convoluted nonsense and personal incompetence, Agent Diogenes ended up exposed to 113 multiple times and as a result their physical sex is currently completely unknown. This has unfortunately resulted in several other staff members becoming attracted to them, and many more attempting to figure out what's going on in Diogenes's pants. When someone thought to just ask, Diogenes simply remained silent, and seems to have always identified as nonbinary and asexual regardless. Any offers to reverse the situation have been rejected, meaning even if someone could figure it out, Diogenes doesn't want to change back.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_4522fd1	comment	The Whateley Universe: If someone is turned into a girl by the Exemplar power, and used to be a guy, no force on Earth can fix it, and such attempts have never been successful. Possibly literally so, as there's a goddess involved. Maybe. It has been hinted that the scientists that came up with this theory — that there's a force of evolution forcing mutants to out-breed humanity — may or may not have been wrong. On the flipside, the few characters turned into guys also have trouble fixing it, or don't try. It's just about standard to say that it's easier to cause a transformation than fix it. (See The Big Idea, A Single Fold, and all of the stories with Exemplar protagonists.) Subverted in the character of Jade. She has trouble finding a way to transform herself in the first place! And once she does, failure is the only option... until she resorts to 'traditional' means. Professional surgery that works! Even appears to be occurring to Phase, who is resisting with all his might the other two. However, it's not certain that it will end up like this, as Phase is still looking through 'outs'. Subverted in "Ayla and the Mad Scientist": Belphegor gets transformed, and it only lasts long enough for him to dash into the girls' showers to ogle hot babes, whereupon he is restored to his old self... and gets in massive trouble with a bathroom full of superpowered women. There are a number of aversions as well, with some involving people temporarily changed by Mad Science or Functional Magic, or SexShifters who can (voluntarily or involuntarily) shift back and forth. One character, Roulette, had been transformed by her mother when she was nine, then changed back, but later manifested as a female Exemplar; this time the change was permanent.

Reversing this becomes a Series Goal whose requirements change several times: First they need to convince Shirogane to reform and change Matsuri back. Then Suzu needs to master her own power to restore Shirogane's. Finally, for the series latter half, it turns out Suzu doesn't just more training, but the consent of her past life's Enemy Without. Ultimately, Shirogane's power is restored after about a half year in-series... by which point Matsuri realizes they've gotten attached to their life as a girl, and so elect to stay that way for at least the rest of high school (another two-and-a-half years). What they'll decide then is left to our imagination.

Since the gender-swapping came about via reincarnation there's not much to be done about it, and while Kanata does initially experience some dysphoria and continue to identify as male for a time, eventually he fully assumes the persona of Katia and identifies completely as a girl, literally losing the last semblance of his male identity during a plot conflict. Being able to more openly express his sexuality as a heterosexual woman is one motivator for accepting the change, especially since he lucked out enough to reincarnate in the same time and place as a male classmate he'd had a crush on.

It requires a Remove Curse spell to get rid of it. And of course, Roy is the only main character to ever wear it. It's a fairly mild example, though, since Roy's best friend is a Cleric who manages to remove it soon enough. The trope is lampshaded when Durkon asks whether Roy is sure he wants to change back, and Roy irritably tells him he's been perfectly comfortable with being a man all his life — why wouldn't he want to stay one?

First Law of Gender Bending / int_5e233a87	comment	A couple of mid-2000's issues of Dial H for Hero focuses on one that is entirely Played for Drama. Chauvinist construction worker Joe accidentally happens upon the dial and turns into the superheroine Shocking Suzi. He not only loses the dial (thus locking him into his new form forever), but the transformation also caused all the identification on his person to disappear. Unable to convince his best friend or his girlfriend about his true identity, or even return to his former place of work (or any legitimate work) due to the lack of any proper documentation, he is forced to spend the rest of his days as a stripper named "Jo", with his former electricity-based powers having disappeared as well.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: Alpha Flight demonstrates that while The First Law is powerful, it can't withstand the power of Status Quo Is God. Near the end of John Byrne's run, the body of Walter Langkowski (a.k.a. Sasquatch) was destroyed. Under new writer Bill Mantlo, his spirit eventually ended up merging with the body of the shapeshifter Snowbird, who died while in the form of a white-furred Sasquatch. Walter soon discovered that Sasquatch's new "human" form was, like Snowbird, female, and she lived for several years as Wanda Langkowski. Wanda's sex change was only one of several major changes to the Byrne-era status quo, most of which were reverted when he was off the book, and Sasquatch regained both his manhood and his original orange fur. In Gambit (1999), during a Time Travel mission in the 19th century, Gambit's shapeshifting ally Courier took a female form to investigate the villain Mister Sinister. Sinister caught him and disrupted Courier's powers, reducing him to a blob. Gambit's intervention persuaded Sinister to restore him, but as Sinister hadn't realised Courier was male, he was restored to the female form he'd been using. Courier retained his shapeshifting powers, but his default form was physically female. Even after returning to modern times, none of their allies seemed able to undo the effects of Sinister's relatively primitive machinery. Mister Sinister himself became subject to the First Law later in the X-Men comics. After trying to bodyswap with Professor Xavier unsuccessfully, the only available body was a female clone of himself. "Miss" Sinister has since had a fling with Wolverine's son Daken, and is disturbingly attractive considering her origin. However, this character doesn't share Mister Sinister's memories, so it's debatable whether she is "really" him.

Originally the male-coded victim of a forceful, traumatic sex change, it's made abundantly clear how thoroughly life ruining this was, yet the possibility of reversing the procedure never comes up. It's soft retconned near the end of the series' run and hard retconned in the final issue into a consensual sex change. The in-universe explanation for why she'd believed it was forced was that the Mad Scientist who she'd gone to for the change had tortured her during and after the procedure, and the lingering trauma and hatred from the torture caused her to forget that she'd wanted it done to her.

All his attempts to get turned back to his original gender fail or backfire. At one point, the clerics who were attempting to undo the spell end up turned into women themselves. Surprisingly, the latter part turns into an aversion of the trope. The clerics perform a reversal spell, and it works... for all of them except the one who obviously loved being a girl, and she obviously refused to reverse her own gender. Though one of the clerics that became male again, turned female again after sneezing, probably implying that their return to manhood is short-lived. Later, when Tiffany consults of consulting a magic encyclopaedia about a cure, the result is just three pages of mocking laughter, in text.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy says he'll go along with it. Then the doc pulls off the mask Randou didn't even realize he was wearing, revealing that he actually still had Rina's face. It was a test set by Yuna to see if he was really worthy of Rina. The doctor couldn't bring himself to return Randou to his original appearance in the first place, and instead glued a mask of his original appearance to his face, and continually re-glued it while Randou was sleeping. So, in the long run he ends up spending more time with the eponymous pretty face. Though he now has the ability to glue the mask back onto his face if he wants to spend time as a guy again.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_bd310eaa	comment	El Goonish Shive: According to the rules governing the comic's main sex-changing phlebotinum, only male-to-female sex changes can be made permanent (via pregnancy); female-to-male sex changes, even of someone trapped by pregnancy (for whom it's only even possible afterwards), cannot exceed a 30 day time limit. The second time a boy — the main character — is turned into a girl the device breaks, leaving "her" stuck for the full thirty days, and the attempt to get around this leaves him with an Opposite-Sex Clone and the permanent ability to change sex at will, something the rules of magic eventually force him to do on a regular basis. Tedd theorizes that Elliot's magic has gotten stuck on the idea that turning into a girl is supposed to reflect Elliot's fundamental nature, and is going to keep giving him various girly transformations until it finds one that he identifies with. And sure enough, by the time Elliot gets his first non-girlification spell, he has come to see turning into a girl as part of who he is, and wants to keep doing it. Also, a "seyunolu" (chimera) member of the Quirky Miniboss Squad, Vlad, is hit with a Transformation Ray and is turned female, but more importantly to her, human. "She" has no desire to change back, and since Bizarre Alien Biology overrides the time limit (and, implicitly, gender identity), Vladia, as she is now called, is treated as a woman from then on. She actually could change back, but because her original form was hideous, and transforming was unimaginably painful, she has no incentive to ever do so. Tedd is ostensibly genderfluid, and has been shown tending towards a male or female preference. However, story arcs that take place in Tedd's house are far more likely to show them in female form. Take this arc where Tedd is a Cat Girl the whole time, vs. this one where they spend an even amount of time male and female. That even extends to non-canon appearances. They're also practically giddy anytime they can be female in public or without their dad judging them. Also, whenever a mental projection of Tedd is separated from their body, they've always been female even if their physical body is male. The "Squirrel Prophet" storyline has Tedd experience their first involuntary gender change, when their great godmother decides to try doing them a favour, with unexpected results. It turns out that they were given a Magic Mark that lets them change their default sex with no time limit. And just to twist this trope even further, when Tedd considers which gender they'd rather be if they had to pick one, they settle on male. However, they pick it because it would raise less questions, not because they strictly prefer being male.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_cd38232a	comment	Space Pirate Mito: Poor Aoi. After losing the Power Limiter that was keeping him fully human in the final episode of the first series he learns that his gender has become unstable because his mother's species doesn't settle on a gender until puberty. Worse, his body is becoming disturbingly girlish just when his gender has to be stable in order to control the galaxy-saving Phlebotinum. Just as the credits begin to roll it's revealed that despite his best efforts to remain male his body had stabilized as female and she remains female from then on. Over the next series, the only hint of a chance to turn back is a mention by an Ax-Crazy goddess that she'd be male again upon submitting wholly to her (which, although Aoi says she'd prefer to turn back, doesn't present much of a dilemma).

The Decode remake takes it a step farther, when at the end of the first series he gets his own body back, it is destroyed almost immediately.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_d4deaff5	comment	When a Pony Calls: Soren, the male human protagonist, starts off getting body-swapped with Lyra, a female unicorn, then through an accident on Lyra's part, his human body gets gender bent, and then he realizes that Equestria's natural magical energy isn't reacting well with his human body, causing it to morph into a pony body instead. While the body swapping is undone at the end, the gender bending and species change are not, and in the sequel, The Alchemist's Heart, where Soren, now the pegasus Silver Script, does discover a way to reliably change a pony's gender, she doesn't change back. This is justified in that, at this point, Soren's old life on Earth has been completely ruined with no way to repair it, so instead she decides to just accept her new life in Equestria as she currently is.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_d7aab7c1	comment	Inversion: The Sailor Starlights from Sailor Moon they spend significantly more screen time in male identities, to various degrees, with the handwaving that this makes their act of posing as pop idol singers looking for a (female) lost love more convincing. They may or may not have abandoned their male identities in the finale when they left Earth for their home planet. Of course, the show is aimed at girls... This is, however, only present in the Italian dub of the anime; in the manga and original Japanese voiceover, they're just cross-dressing women and much less prominent characters.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_d84394a3	comment	In the first comic of I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle, the main character Jean is turned into a female genie that looks very similar to Barbara Eden from the TV show. While Jean (aka Jeanie) attempts to understand her new powers, she has yet to find a way to turn herself back into a male, and her mentor has told her it's either impossible or forbidden (a typo making it ambiguous) to do more than disguise herself as a man. She also, possibly as a form of quietly ironic revenge, has a habit of doing the same to men and boys around her, with some apathy to their restoration - three men and a teen boy are now two woman, a little girl, and a teen girl respectively, and unlikely to encounter her again. Her "master" Neil is also being forced by circumstances to spend significant stretches female.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_dc4e4f67	comment	The Wotch: how much Anne loves to turn her male friends into girls is lampshaded frequently but the tendency seems to extend to everyone with the appropriate powers. Over the course of the strip many, many characters get their gender bent but it's only the formerly male ones who fail to get restored. (Even the straw feminists of D.O.L.L.Y., who arguably earned karmic punishment, get turned back into girls in the end.) The strip seems to delight in finding reasons why former men can't or shouldn't be turned back, even though given Anne's powers and general benevolence it ought to be easy. There's even a spin-off (The Wotch: Cheer!) comic about four of its permanently genderbent characters. Also, in the years before the DOLLY arc, though, as stated, male-to-female changes were constant and many were permanent, female-to-male changes never happened except for an oft-bodyswapped couple. One time we thought Anne and Miranda had become boys, but it turns out Wotches cannot be male and so Anne and Miranda are immune to genderbending. Lord Sykos shows up and goes on a gender-changing spree across town, happily encouraged by his first victim "Aimee". At the end of the story arc he turns all his victims back to normal except Aimee who decides she prefers being Sykos' Perky Female Minion to her former existence. As we don't get to see much of "his" life before the transformation we're given no real motivation for this decision. There was also one unnamed "maiden" whom Lord Sykos sent to get tacos who had the misfortune of failing to return before Lord Sykos restored everyone else and returned to his home dimension, leaving her with no memory of the incident, and a lot of unanswered questions.

Sora realizes that the Elves' gender changing magic pretty much substitutes the Y chromosone with a clone of the X chromosomenote Realistically, this would express every recessive gene on that chromosome, almost certainly producing debilitating if not fatal birth defects., so changing back is impossible since the Y chromosome no longer exists.

While he does manage to turn back in a guy later in the game, in the epilogue an encounter with Elminster turned him back into "Edwina", who's now a barmaid (In Waterdeep) and a "bitter, bitter woman".note Since becoming a woman is a possible effect of a scroll mishap in D&D 3.0, he may have found an actual lich-turning scroll and just messed up during the casting.

First Law of Gender Bending / int_f35f2f0b	comment	In MSF High and High School Changed Me: Nurse Keiri seems to have made it her mission to warp the gender ratio as much as possible. Everyone who gets more than bandages from her leaves female. At the end of the day, anyone who's been transformed in any way can change back totally or keep all aspects of the new form, forever; with this in mind, she also tends to give incentives not to change back. There's nothing to stop people who have been changed from being changed again, but (other than the daily Reset Button) female-to-male is rare, with no known permanent instances in either comic, in which so far at least three significant male characters (Urk and Victor/ia in MSF, Colin/Colette in HSCM) have become female for good. Also, the Legion are a fairly benign version of The Virus; the victims, who seem to have been mostly male, keep most of their personality, but become unquestioningly loyal literal Green Skinned Space Babes. In the main setting, this is as temporary as anything else (although like Keiri, they put some effort into retention), but in most of the galaxy, it's irreversible. (Note that Legion TFs are only irreversible outside of MSF High because of the lack of transformation magic in Mahou Galaxy. Tends to be all over the place in the Forum RP, as well.)

Sinister caught him and disrupted Courier's powers, reducing him to a blob. Gambit's intervention persuaded Sinister to restore him, but as Sinister hadn't realised Courier was male, he was restored to the female form he'd been using. Courier retained his shapeshifting powers, but his default form was physically female. Even after returning to modern times, none of their allies seemed able to undo the effects of Sinister's relatively primitive machinery.
