Gender Bender Angst	comment	A character has undergone a complete physical sex change, usually through magic or Applied Phlebotinum. For some this might be a positive experience; for the Escapist Character experiencing life as someone of a different gender can be a new adventure or Wish-Fulfillment for the audience, and for the character who is not comfortable with who they are, the Second Law of Gender-Bending will often lead them to their personal Happy Ending. Not so this character. The character will not be happy at all with the new condition. There might be any number of reasons for this. Maybe they were just about to marry with their True Love. Maybe they didn't receive the benefit of Attractive Bent-Gender. Perhaps it was just a case of being happy with the old gender and they simply aren't comfortable with their current body. Whatever the specific issues they may have, the Gender Bender situation will result in angst, conflict, etc. for the character. Depending on how much (and how quickly) the character's appearance changes it can be hard to prove that they're even the same person, which can cause them to lose their friends, their family and their job. And if there's a Cosmic Retcon or Fake Memories to prevent this, then it could result in people talking about a past that the character doesn't remember, or friends acting like strangers or vice versa, causing the character to question their sanity. There's also the case of a man who's proud of his strength, who gets turned into a woman and angsts over no longer being able to fight properly. This could be treated as simply "men are stronger than women", or with more nuance as "his new body has different muscle distribution and range of motion, which aren't in sync with the way he learned to fight" or "his fighting style relied on a Gender-Restricted Ability he no longer possesses". Or maybe it isn't sex-related at all, and his new body is simply a "baseline" one that hasn't been through the same physical conditioning as his old one. Some cases may also spread the angst around, as a loved one suddenly changing can be distressing, especially if they were romantically involved. It's even possible for another's worries to exceed that of the one experiencing the change, to the point the Second Law of Gender-Bending could be in play simultaneously. Can be considered the Fantastic Angst counterpart to Trans Tribulations and Intersex Tribulations, and a Persecution Flip thereof (i.e. causing a person to feel gender dysphoria for being cisgender instead of transgender).

Gender Bender Angst / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: Although Ranma Saotome can revert to being male as readily as he becomes female, he considers his female form an insult to his masculinity, strongly dislikes the male suitors it attracts, and eventually has to worry his mother will make him kill himself because of it. Although he eventually becomes fine with using it to his advantage (to the point of being comically ready to seduce men in a later manga story), which fuels a very popular (if misinformed) Trans Audience Interpretation, he never loses his fundamental distaste for the curse or his desire to become all-male once again. As such, whenever a possibility to remove the Jusenkyo Curse presents itself, Ranma immediately jumps to pursue it, and it often brings out his pettiest, most selfish streak. Herb, the Arc Villain of the Musk Dynasty arc, was affected by the same curse, made worse by being subject to a Shapeshifter Mode Lock. Herb is a proud prince from a very gender-segregated (if not outright misogynist) culture. He hates his female form so much he tries to conceal it while looking for a cure, and kill anyone who finds out.

Gender Bender Angst / int_1b71921c	comment	Misfile: An error in the Celestial Bureaucracy alters history so that Ash was always female and only he remembers otherwise. While Ash has gradually become more accepting of the situation, s/he is still deathly afraid that he will remain a girl forever. Though being a girl no longer causes angst, 'he' is afraid of growing too complacent with the new state. A lot of Ash's angst comes from the fact that, while the reality where he is female has some major upsides (he is much closer to either of his parents, and becomes friends and later lovers with Emily, who life was similary altered), suddenly changing to a new life and body causes major dysphoria.

He finds himself greatly enjoying the momentary benefits of getting turned into a cute girl, mostly because he was already In Touch with His Feminine Side, but he wants to turn back into a guy because he's fully aware of the long-term consequences — he got lucky as right before transforming, he was moving into a dorm and made a new friend who could arrange him enrolling into a new school, but none of his friends or family at home know of the change, and could cause complications to his future relationship prospects. If anything, his enjoyment of girly things freaks him out as it makes him fear that he'll lose the will to fix the problem.

Gender Bender Angst / int_4522fd1	comment	Whateley Universe: While the First Law of Gender Bending mostly holds, the majority of the gender-bent characters are happy with their new form (with several having been Transgender from the start). However, a number of characters are not. Phase, who is intersexed and mostly feminine-looking due to his mutation, has taken several major risks in order to return to being fully male. None of them have worked out to date. Bladedancer is extremely uncomfortable with being female, though her girlfriend Molly has been helping her adjust. While the chance that she will return to normal exists, doing so is unlikely to happen soon as the enchanted sword case needed is being held by a demon lord. Despite becoming increasingly feminine-behaving over time, Jobe Wilkins still insists that she wants to become male again. Hat Trick, having been transformed into a girl by an ill-worded wish to be 'the opposite of what I am now', manages to present as male much of the time, and is openly Transgender. Mokele', whose mutation changed him from female to male, hates it. As said in ''Rotten to the C.O.R.E'':

Gender Bender Angst / int_503d5009	comment	Ayakashi Triangle: Matsuri is a Double Subversion: He explicitly experiences no physical dysphoria from being magically made female, and generally treats things being Different for Girls as just an annoyance. However, as time wears on, Matsuri becomes quite frustrated that he realized he was in love with Suzu from living alongside her as a girl, but thinks Suzu can't be any more than a friend unless he changes back. The ends up being Played for Laughs when he reveals, beyond an (incorrect) assumption of Incompatible Orientation, he feels he's "not really [him] right now", so dating Suzu as a girl would be cuckolding his male self. Upon finally gaining the ability to become a boy again, Matsuri isn't sure if they want to be one again, and so elects to stay a girl for at least the next several years, but date Suzu anyway. Suzu falls under the "friend who angsts more" subtype: Since Matsuri was changed by an ayakashi that came after her, she feels responsible, and also thinks Matsuri is acting too self-sacrificing, especially on her behalf. What Suzu doesn't say aloud is that she wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with Matsuri, and though she still finds him attractive, she's uncomfortable being in love with another girl. It's actually only because of Suzu's insistence that Matsuri spared Shirogane in hopes he could eventually change Matsuri back. Eventually, Suzu starts to dislike the idea of Matsuri staying even if he wanted to, because she finds him more attractive as a guy and is afraid that would make him more interested in Soga than her. Eventually, Suzu becomes eager to date even female Matsuri, and her issue is just his aforementioned refusal—which she accidentally encouraged by convincing him he was still a guy. Soga also angsts over Matsuri's change, but for the opposite reason—he hates how it's made him attracted to someone he saw as a rival and colleague. These feelings are played much more comically than Suzu's, as Soga's reasoning is basically a mix of Love Is a Weakness and thinking he can't love Matsuri when they both still think of him as a guy.

Gender Bender Angst / int_78b3f506	comment	Mai Natsume of BlazBlue: Remix Heart was a guy who accidentally became a girl because of an artifact. As she had to live with other girls in the Academy's dorms, she feared that she might be "losing himself" because she acts more and more like a girl; at the same time, however, she doesn't want her friends to know her condition. By the end of the manga, however, she realized that this new life has given her more happiness that when she was a guy, so the Second Law of Gender-Bending prevails instead. However, later characterization in the games (specifically BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle) portray Mei as still being conflicted; despite perfectly loving her new identity, some of her internal thoughts reveal that not only does she still think of herself as a guy to an extent, but still misses living as one.

Eventually, he gets very frustrated by what his attraction to Jinguuji says about his own (current or former) sexuality, then comes to the alarming realization that he's forgotten what his own face looked when he was male. Tachibana is only able to distract himself by focusing on how he's still attracted to a girl, insisting only those are his "real" feelings. Jinguuji actually takes Tachibana's change much more harshly and right off the bat, literally vomiting in response and telling the Goddess of Love that she's robbed him of his Living Emotional Crutch. Jinguuji is consistently disgusted whenever he feels attracted to Tachibana's female form—seemingly less about his own sexuality (whatever that is) than feeling it cheapens their friendship.

Gender Bender Angst / int_bd310eaa	comment	El Goonish Shive: Unsurprisingly given just how much gender-bending there is in this comic, this trope does come up a couple of times. Justin definitely identifies as a man, but when he is temporarily turned into a woman for a party, he finds himself torn between how unnatural it feels on the one hand, and how as a woman his being attracted to guys would be seen as normal and he'd even have a chance with Elliot on the other. Elliot is not happy when Tedd turns him into a girl, and when he finds out that he's going to be stuck like that for a month he's willing to sneak off into a secret government warehouse and use a mysterious cursed artifact to try and get back to normal. He doesn't take it much better when complications from the cursed artifact wind up forcing him to turn into a girl and back several times a day for the better part of a year, not to mention needing to sleep as a girl.note Although he eventually realizes that he doesn't significantly mind being a girl; the aspect he disliked was being forced to transform (and having been involuntarily zapped into a girl in the first place).

While 4 of the group manage to adjust to the situation relatively well thanks to finding out about it as a group and securing assistance from select members of the school staff, the fifth, Yuusuke, initially had to deal with it in isolation, and struggles both mentally and physically with the transformations. Even after the two parties learn about each other and join together, he still remains the most uncomfortable with the condition and is the most vocal about finding a way to get rid of it.

He couldn't even look at her naked body for a long time while either bathing or undressing. When Mari had her next period, Isao completely freaked out. Isao was never a separate person, but a manifestation of Mari's Dissociative Personality Disorder.
