* ''OdaNobunaNoYabou'' is yet another Gender Flip take on Warring States period, but only ''partially''. For example, [[OdaNobunaga the eponymous character]] and Imagawa Yoshimoto are female, while Saitou Dousan, Takenaka Hanbei, and Asai Nagamasa remains male. [[spoiler:Actually, the last two are female too: Hanbei uses a male {{Familiar}} to act as her personage, while Nagamasa is being a SweetPollyOliver.]]

* Pivix user Yuu Kurono has made a number of character sketches and comics around the premise of gender-flipping a portion of the cast (specifically Madoka, Kyoko, and Mami... And Human!Charlotte <[[HilariousInHindsight long before Charlotte's Pre-Witch form was even conceived by the staff, let alone revealed]]>), along with [[{{Bishounen}} Humanoid!Kyubey]]. They can all be found on Danbooru (try the tags "kurono_yuu" and "genderswap" to get started), but due to the nature of the site, it would be better to offer a link to a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVqVvZijqF0 surprisingly good fandub of most of the comics on YouTube]]. The [[LesYay romantic undertones]] of [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Homura/Madoka]] and [[BelligerentSexualTension Sayaka/Kyoko]] suddenly become very blatant.

** In the CBS adaptation of Sherlock Holmes called ''Series/{{Elementary}}'', John Watson has been changed to Joan Watson and is played by Creator/LucyLiu. As Liu is Chinese American, this is a RaceLift [[TwoferTokenMinority as well]]. Also, [[spoiler: Moriarty is now a woman]].
** In ''TheAdventuresOfShirleyHolmes'', Sherlock's descendant and {{Expy}} is his great-grandniece.

* ''DefenseOfTheAncients'' had Tresdin the Legion Commander: a mustachioed and [[FantasticRacism racist]] [[ExactlyWhatitSaysOntheTin commander of a legion.]] In ''Dota 2'' Tresdin has been retooled into a woman, is still a commander of a legion, and the racism is toned down but she is still aggressively adamant in her distrust of non-humans, ''especially'' after [[DoomedHometown Stonehall.]]

* The ChildBallad "Literature/TheLordOfLornAndTheFalseSteward" features a hero in a tale normally told with a heroine, such as "Literature/TheGooseGirl".

* Gender flipping is not terribly uncommon in modern productions of Shakespeare, often as part of a [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructionist]], Feminist, and/or DarkerAndEdgier take on the material:

* In the ''CaptainScarlet'' remake, Seymour Griffiths (CodeName: Lt. Green) is replaced by Serena Lewis (also {{codename}}d Lt. Green).

** Lloyd Bridge's Commander Cain was also revived as Michelle Forbes' (now Admiral) Helena Cain. Both they're both equally crazy.

* The ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' remake Gender Flips Starbuck and Boomer (also a RaceLift) from the original. As often happens with actors who find themselves replaced, Dirk benedict was less than happy about it, referring to his heir as "Stardoe" (har har).

* Lloyd Bridge's Commander Cain was also revived as Michelle Forbes' (now Admiral) Helena Cain. Both they're both equally crazy.

* The ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' remake Gender Flips Starbuck and Boomer (also a RaceLift) from the original. And Commander (now Admiral) Cain.

-->'''Smith:''' [to Ron Moore and David Eick] I'm glad you guys changed Starbuck into a women. Otherwise it would have made all those kissing scenes with Lee really awkward.

* The ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' games have LouisCypher as a recurring character. ''StrangeJourney'' has Louisa Ferre instead.

* It's becoming increasingly popular to GenderFlip ''Manga/BlueExorcist'''s [[AntiAntiChrist Rin]]. This isn't ''that'' hard to pull off considering he's already [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide rather girly]] in canon, resulting in her tending to coming across as a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.

* In ''TheMuppetsWizardOfOz'', Rizzo the Rat takes the role of the Queen of the Field Mice, which has been [[CompositeCharacter conflated]] with the Mayor of Munchkinland.

* ''Anime/SpaceBattleShipYamato2199'' has Akira "[[InSeriesNickname Rei]]" Yamamoto who was originally a male pilot with a much smaller role in the [[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato original]] who became a female pilot with a much larger role in the new series. Comparison's with [[BattleStarGalacticaReimagined Starbuck]] are not uncommon among the fanbase where it's now her FanNickname.

* ''Videogame/ShovelKnights'' has a mode where all the characters' genders are changed.

* Every team in {{RWBY}} is based on a particular theme. The theme of JNPR is [[ItMakesSenseInContext '[=genderflipped=] heroes of legend of varying eras and nationalities.']] For example, JNPR has a [[JeanneDArchetype male Joan of Arc]] and female examples of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhus_of_Epirus Pyrrhus]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor Thor]].

* ''Strike Witches'' is to World War II as ''HyakkaRyouranSamuraiGirls'' is to feudal Japan.
* ''KaichouWaMaidSama'' had one in this manga [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kaichou_wa_maid_sama/v11/c050.5/1.html chapter]].

* The creators of ''{{Animaniacs}}'' couldn't get the rights to use ScrewySquirrel, and thus, the equally violent Slappy Squirrel was born.
