Third Law of Gender-Bending	comment	Any gender bent character will either embrace or be subject to all of the stereotypes associated with their new gender. Characters who change sex typically display â€” or are forced to adopt â€” gender appropriate dress and behavior. Most of the time this means dresses and makeup for a man turned woman and aggressive and macho behavior for a woman turned man. Frequently rationalized as being due to the characters having stereotypical views of gender roles, particularly when the character in question is depicted as being in need of a lesson in gender equality. Like the second law, this trope typically manifests in one of three forms: A masquerade wherein the character is forced by circumstances to adopt stereotypically masculine or feminine attire or behavior, sometimes under duress. (Commonly found in "Freaky Friday" Flip or similar plots where the character becomes a preexisting person of another sex and must maintain the pretense.) Social mandates such as school or work uniforms may be invoked. The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body, wherein the character simply cannot resist adopting stereotypical attire or behavior due to irresistible compulsion, latent desires, Mind Control, biological imperatives, or some combination of all of the above. The character was already a Tomboy or In Touch with His Feminine Side, so the way they acted (or wanted to act) before has been made more socially accepted. The second variant may even be assumed, but turn out to be a placebo effect. More sophisticated applications of this trope will often apply some combination of the above. It may be as simple as characters wanting or needing to "fit in" (or at least not wanting to stick out), wanting to distance themselves from an identity or past behavior they've grown to dislike, or wanting to appear attractive to a potential love interest. Less sophisticated applications simply apply it without question or place the characters in an environment where clothing associated with their former sex simply isn't available. Since most Gender Bender characters are male-to-female, this frequently results in scenes where the newly minted girl is confronted with all of the requirements of his new sex, which can include skirts, hose, makeup, high heels and other trappings of femininity. This can result in Unfortunate Implications reinforcing stereotypical behavior. Some people may find the notion of underlying biological imperatives enforcing such behavior offensive or simply ridiculous, as nothing about being a woman inherently results in a need to wear the stereotypical outfit. From a literary perspective, the reason this trope comes up is clear: if an author gender bends a character, and the crew acts normally and maturely until the situation is straightened out, the gender bending didn't really matter, did it? This trope may be applied to ensure that the characters' problems aren't simply solved by crossdressing themselves back to their original sex and then acting like nothing's changed, thus preserving the drama. This trope may result in Becoming the Mask or Going Native depending upon surrounding circumstances, thus leading into the Second Law of Gender-Bending. May result in a Shopping Montage and/or Makeover Montage as the new boy or girl (willingly or not) gets geared up for life in their new sex.

She still wears pants, but she also wears a scalloped blouse and changes into a dress and makeup when she's being formal. She does still fix cars and rides a motorcycle, but she's expected to be politer and more "ladylike".

Third Law of Gender-Bending / int_117116ef	comment	One episode of The Penguins of Madagascar centered on a purely psychosomatic example: A faulty DNA test convinces Skipper he's a female. At first, he thinks it won't interfere with his job, but then he does things like wait for the others to open the door for him and - horror of horrors! - ask for directions. So he quits the team, puts on a pink bow and moves in with Marlene, who is not amused with his outdated ideas of femininity.

Max gets turned into a girl and then gets forced to work in Coffee Shrine, but this is only because of her huge tab there. Her male partner is also forced to work there through the use of a temporary Gender Bender potion. Other than that, Max is never really forced into any stereotypical feminine behavior. It probably helps that all of Max's female friends are nerdy lesbians.

She also has her coach/therapist/BFF Motoko constantly reminding her to act more like a girl. Presumably, she only puts up with this because she actually wants to be a girl, she's just riddled with second thoughts and self-doubts whenever she confronts one of the disconcerting aspects of girlhood.

Third Law of Gender-Bending / int_186aef70	comment	The Good Witch: Playing with the third law is just one of the ways Angel torments her victims. Examples include making sure all of her older brother's transformations include uber-girly clothes, turning one classmate into a cheerleader (complete with outfit) and possibly turning another into an enthusiastic transvestite. However, the third law is also played straight with Angel herself, who, as a former male-to-female transgender person, is absolutely thrilled to finally be able to buy the dress she always wanted. Since she can (and does) magically create any clothing she wants at will actually buying the dress appears to have been an act of affirmation on her part.

Third Law of Gender-Bending / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: Ranma doesn't usually act any more feminine in female form than in his male form, to the point he is infamous in-universe for going around in female form wearing nothing but his boxers, but he is quite prone to undermining his own claims of manliness out of opportunism, narcissism, or pure Rule of Funny: Ranma is confident in his looks even as a man, but is particularly vain about how his female form looks. He's complained about P-chan scratching his "perfect skin", gotten enraged at being called ugly, and gloated about having bigger breasts than Akane. In one particularly ridiculous moment in the manga, a spirit imitating his female form says they both look ugly. Ranma tries to prove her wrong by taking the lead as they solict dates from random men off the street. His hypercompetitive nature has repeatedly lead him to prove aptitude at things like cooking, women's gymnastics, selling things to boys via female sex appeal, and cheerleading. Even besides applying general physical abilities, he's quite good at all of them. Initially, Ranma completely hated wearing girls' clothes in female form, though he occasionally ended up in them anyway. Eventually, he becomes very quick to dress up and pretend to be feminine, either as part of a disguise or to take advantage of people who don't know his true nature. He typically overdoes it, becoming a loud Fake Cutie, implying that he's consciously trying to act out stereotypes. When he hits his head in one episode and thinks he was always a girl, he becomes the epitome of this trope. The formerly brash, violent, loud-mouthed, hot-tempered and coarse boy becomes very polite, even-tempered, claims to be a pacifist who hates violence, faints at the sight of blood, and is so submissive that she is willing to let Happosai grope her naked bosom because he starts throwing a tantrum when she initially refuses to let him do so and hides behind Akane when he tries his usual perversions. Everyone around Ranma comments that this behavior is completely unlike the normal Ranma.

He doesn't hesitate to complain about it, either, in ways that make it plain it fuels his fear of assimilation, and he maintains his interest in his main "masculine" pursuits, electronic gaming and amateur street racing. Ash's mother, however, is doing her utmost to enforce this trope, including roping Ash into a modeling event. Ash referred to seeking her help picking out a bridesmaid dress as "a deal with the powers of darkness."

Deconstructed later when she breaks down in front of her chief rival/best friend Miyoshi and reveals her bravado is just a brave front she put up because most of her male self-image was tied up in being the best at physical things she can no longer do thanks to some concealed Gender Bender related health problems. Subverted and then reconstructed in the sequel Kanojo Ni Naru Hi Another when Sagara, who has not publicly re-identified as a girl, is pleased by the effect his schoolgirl "disguise" has on his former rival/newfound love interest Narumi. Be it as a boy or girl, looking attractive to Narumi is uppermost in his mind, though he tries to play it off in classic tsundere fashion by telling himself it's only because skirts are cooler in hot weather.

Third Law of Gender-Bending / int_503d5009	comment	Ayakashi Triangle: Despite pretending he was always a girl, Matsuri's behavior remains primarily, even brazenly masculine (he doesn't even change his first-person pronoun), but that makes the few feminine traits he displays more noticeable: Literally the only changes to his wardrobe are adding a sports bra and switching the slacks in his school uniform for a skirt (the shirt and blazer are the same design, though he needed a new pair to fit his altered body). However, the girl's school uniform is by far Matsuri's most shown outfit, as most of the manga takes place at or on the way to/from school, and he often forgets to change into his ninja gear when he should. After a few months, Matsuri sometimes wears boyish but distinctly feminine clothes. Discussed when Shirogane first moves in to the Kazamaki household and sees Matsuri serving breakfast: Getting harassed by guys causes Matsuri to develop some traits of a Sour Prude. When a pair of guys stare at his breasts, Matsuri literally forgets his own gender for a second. In a later incident, he has no reservation browbeating a group of guys for hitting on a female teacher, then insisting she not be lenient on "the boys", as Suzu mentally notes he seems to be forgetting something. He even gets a reflexive moment of Pervert Revenge Mode when an enemy attacks him in the bathroom (contrast to a similar situation in a very early chapter where Matsuri showed no shame running into battle naked). At one point, Matsuri is in a rush to distract Suzu with an errand, and randomly blurts out he needs girls' clothes. Though still uncomfortable in anything more than the aforementioned school uniform, Reo's inhibition-loosing Fantastic Drug lets Matsuri enthusiastically fly through an Costume-Test Montage, even as Reo picks out increasingly impractical outfits. Ironically, Matsuri asking in the first place makes Reo and Suzu wonder if his female body is making him act more feminine, and will eventually cause him to identify as a girl. Matsuri eventually switches from a fundoshi to girls' underwear because the ensuing discomfort helps develop his spiritual powers. As a side effect of losing something he treasures so much, he's temporarily rendered very timid and clumsy. The whole thing was his mother's idea, which is rather convenient given she seems to like the idea of having a daughter.

The need to maintain the Masquerade and go undercover as a cheerleader means Robynne gets dragged kicking and screaming (figuratively, anyway, she's too introverted to actually be that demonstrative) into a crash-course Girliness Upgrade involving shoes, clothing, lingerie, and makeup. Fortunately, her fellow Spirit Guards are largely sympathetic to her desire to tone down her spectacular looks to avoid unwanted male attention, though her Unwitting Muggle Friend Stacy has other ideas. She also has to learn to live with the permanent waist-length bangs hairstyle that comes part and parcel with her Magical Girl Warrior powers but is at least spared the cost and effort of maintaining it.

Third Law of Gender-Bending / int_7cc65757	comment	The Marvelous Land of Oz: After Tip is turned back into Princess Ozma, he instantly transforms from a fairly rambunctious boy to an exceedingly Girly Girl. However, given the date of publication (1903), it's highly unlikely anything else would have been considered acceptable. Fan Fic occasionally explains this by making the Ozma personality into a mask that Tip put on for the sake of the people. Later writers in the Oz Mythos have also addressed this question in novels and short stories, including The Disenchanted Princess of Oz by Melody Grandy, The Mysterious Chronicles Of Oz by Onyx Madden, and Ozma Sees Herself by Edward Einhorn. These works all take advantage of the apparent time gap between The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz to insert an interquel that covers Ozma coming to terms with her transformation. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Anime adaptation, on the other hand, takes a pragmatic approach by depicting Ozma as a rambunctious Tomboy Princess, allowing her to be comfortable as a girl without the unsettling Loss of Identity implications of the original. Finally, the Marvel Comics graphic versions of the novels have the script hew closely to the original text, but take advantage of the graphic format to show Ozma tries to act feminine, but does not instantly know how. Some of her expressions are just priceless.

Interestingly, he finds this attractive and falls in love with "her". Later, it's stated the robot equivalent of sex hormones are making Bender more "feminine" (demonstrated when he insists on putting a coaster under a drink), which mostly makes him empathetic enough to worry that his scam will hurt Calculon. In the episode "Neutopia", the guys eagerly act girly and giggly when their genders get flipped by a Sufficiently Advanced Alien.

The first time, Mikan and Lala try to dress Rito up in Lala's spare clothes, and he runs away when Mikan pulls out a frilly bra. That eventually just leads to Saki, Rin, and Aya (who assume he's a stranger) throwing away his male clothes while he's unconscious, then shoving him in lingerie and a racy evening gown once he wakes up. In the following incidents, Lala puts him in a low-neck blouse with a miniskirt then a French Maid outfit, Momo makes him join some girls dressed up as Hospital Hotties, and Nemesis uses her shapeshifting powers to turn his school uniform into a girl's one.

Third Law of Gender-Bending / int_bd310eaa	comment	El Goonish Shive has Grace's Birthday Party arc, part-masquerade where the various characters deliberately chose stereotypical outfits for each other in keeping with the 'walk a mile in my shoes' theme of the occasion. Susan starts acting macho and aggressive immediately after becoming male. It's transient, however: losing an arm-wrestling contest with the still-female Nanase is enough to snap her out of it. Sarah points out that Susan's reaction was more her being herself, just over a different subject. Tedd does note that the first time gender-bending, their new genders' thoughts are exaggerated, which played a part in everyone's storyline during the event, but the only one whose gender-bending mental state was a major plot point was Susan, as it helped her recognize her hangups with men. Later, when Elliot develops the power to morph his clothes and appearance along with his gender his female forms tend to end up wearing girly outfits because he apparently just can't help visualizing them that way. Possibly(?) Justified. It's later suggested that Elliot might be some form of non-binary (indifferent to gender), as he doesn't personally recognize the difference between "man" and "woman" as gender identities beyond the fact that other people say they exist, and thus his definitions of genders are largely shaped by media representation and the behavior of others. Grace has fewer dresses and skirts in her wardrobe than Tedd does despite most of her first clothes being selected by Ordinary High-School Student Sarah. He even prides himself on how sexy he looks transformed, and claims he cooks better while female out of habit. Justified to some extent with the revelation that Tedd is gender-fluid. Exaggerated with Ellen Magus, who comes from a much higher-magic world where, among other things, permanent gender-change spells are readily available. One effect of this is that people who wish to pursue an occupation stereotypically associated with the opposite gender will often switch genders. Ellen himself, for example, was born female, but was interested in a career as a Kung-Fu Wizard and so decided to switch to male for the enhanced physical strength.

Her methods include forcing Shiori into girly outfits, pushing for her to fall in love with her guy friend, and using a potion that makes Shiori unable to speak in a masculine fashion. The latter is so effective it causes an outright Shapeshifter Mode Lock until it is dispelled. Since Sylphie's trying to fulfill Shuichi's wish for a "cute girl Childhood Friend", Shiori experiences some changes beyond physical sex to better embody his ideal girl. Shuichi likes Cute Clumsy Girls, so Shiori is a much worse athlete than Iori, but a much better cook. Though not specified, this may be why Shiori is considered extremely cute.
