History Sandbox / GenderFlip

** Comicbook/ThePunisher is a [[RaceLift Japanese]] woman.

** The Thor Corps consists of various versions of [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] from across the Multiverse, including female wielders of Mjolnir like ComicBook/{{Storm}}, ComicBook/{{Gamora}}, ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} and Comicbook/MariaHill.

** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', Mainframe is a female android voiced by Creator/MileyCyrus, despite being a male, futuristic counterpart of Comicbook/TheVision.

* ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions'' has a female version of Comicbook/DoctorOctopus as the BigBad of the ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 portion of the game. Also, counts as a [[TwoferTokenMinority Twofer]] since she is of Indian descent.

* In ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries'', Lavinia Forbes, the Baxter Building landlady who doesn't much like having a superhero team in her building but can't evict them, is a flip of Walter Collins, the Baxter Building landlord from early ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' comics, who doesn't much like having a superhero team in his building but can't evict them.

* In the early planning stages of the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' animated series, a female version of Comicbook/{{Cyborg}} was supposed to have been part of the main cast. [[http://jl.toonzone.net/pilot/pilot.htm Test footage of her even exists.]] The character design later appeared in the comics as Cyborg's EvilCounterpart and niece of his LoveInterest.

* The "Spider-Verse" arc in ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' introduces Petra Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Girl, a teen girl version of Peter Parker from an alternate universe. Petra's Earth also contains female versions of Comicbook/NickFury (Nicole Fury), Harry Osborn (Harriet Osborn), J. Jonah Jameson (J. Joanne Jameson) and Norman Osborn (Norma Osborn).

** In another Picture Drama, Lelouch has to crossdress ''yet again'', but is offset by the {{Fanservice}} of C.C and Kallen in slinky BellyDancer outfits.

* In the original [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] continuity (and, apparently, in the "Post-Zero Hour" continuity), the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes' [[TheCommissionerGordon Science Police liaison]] Shvaughn Erin was a woman. The "Five Years Later" continuity retconned her into being a UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} person named ''Sean'' Erin, who stopped using [[AppliedPhlebotinum Pro-Fem]] when he realised Element Lad was actually gay.

* The three ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorialGirlsSide'' games. The UsefulNotes/NintendoDS ports of the first two ''Girl's Side'' games also have complete fan translations.

** The ''VideoGame/Persona3'' VideogameRemake for the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]], you can play as a female protagonist. While she herself averts this trope - not only does she have a [[GenkiGirl drastically]] [[TheHeart different]] personality from her [[TheEeyore male]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality counterparr]], she also has her own set of [[RelationshipValues Social Links]] - her Initial Persona is a feminized version of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Orpheus]], which is the same Persona as the male's. [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior Ken Amada's]] Initial Persona, meanwhile, is the female Nemesis, but due to its [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/e/e3/Nemesis.png/revision/latest?cb=20161019072510 oddly toyetic appearance]], it comes off as more gender neutral.

* The ''Pia Carrot'' HGame series had male main characters and a group of female love interests in its four NumberedSequels and spinoffs. Then a reverse harem story called ''Prince Pia Carrot'' was released on UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable in October 2014 with just a [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications CERO D]] rating.

** Red Inferno and Red Torpedo have their genders flipped from the original comics. This is because the show [[RetroactiveLegacy establishes that the two were originally]] the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] heroes Red Torpedo and Firebrand, and thus their genders needed to match their 40's counterparts (Greg even commented on this, including his confusion at the ''original'' change).

* In the original [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] continuity (and, apparently, in the "Post-Zero Hour" continuity), the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes' [[TheCommissionerGordon Science Police liaison]] Shvaughn Erin was a woman. The "Five Years Later" continuity retconned her into being a UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} person named ''Sean'' Erin, who stopped using [[AdvancedPhlebotinum Pro-Fem]] when he realised Element Lad was actually gay.

* ''Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie'': In "Kick the Can", the Sunnyvale Retirement Home administrator is Miss Cox. In the [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E86KickTheCan original episode]], it is Mr. Cox.

* ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' remake:

* ''Series/{{Revenge}}'', a modern day reimagining of ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'', gender flips the protagonist Edmond Dantes to be Emily Thorne. Rather than having been framed herself like Edmond, Emily is the daughter of a man who was framed and falsely imprisoned.

* In ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'', Dr. Emil Hamilton is changed to Dr. Amelia Hamilton.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'':
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E16TheHitchHiker The Hitch-Hiker]]", the protagonist is a woman named Nan Adams. In ''The Orson Welles Show'' radio play by Lucille Fletcher on which it was based, the protagonist is a man named Ronald Adams. [[CreatorBacklash Fletcher was not pleased by this change]]. Furthermore, in the radio version, Ronald picks up a woman and briefly gives her a lift but she leaves after he tries to run over the hitch-hiker. In the television version, Nan gives a lift to a male sailor, who leaves for the same reason.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E89ToServeMan To Serve Man]]", a translator named Betty discovers [[ToServeMan the true meaning]] of the Kanamit book ''To Serve Man''. In the short story by Creator/DamonKnight, it is a man named Gregori.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E94FourOClock Four O'Clock]]", Oliver Crangle's parrot is a male named Pete. In the short story by Price Day, the parrot is a female named [[ADogNamedDog Pet]].
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E107Mute Mute]]", the telepathic child is a girl named Ilse Nielsen while the Wheelers have lost their daughter Sally. In the short story by Creator/RichardMatheson, the telepathic child is a boy named Paal Nielsen while the Wheelers have lost their son David.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E116OfLateIThinkOfCliffordville Of Late I Think of Cliffordville]]", Satan appears to William J. Feathersmith in the form of Miss Devlin. In the short story "Blind Alley" by Malcolm Jameson, Satan (most commonly called His Nibs) assumes a male form with the conventional appearance of "the vermilion anthropoid modified by barbed tail, cloven hoofs, horns and a wonderful sardonic leer."
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'':
** In "Dead Woman's Shoes", Maddie Duncan is possessed by the spirit of a murdered woman named Susan Montgomery when she puts on her expensive high heels. In the original episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E83DeadMansShoes Dead Man's Shoes]]", the murdered gangster Dane's personality takes control of a homeless man named Nate Bledsoe when he puts on his two-tone black and white shoes.
** In "To See the Invisible Man", Mitchell Chaplin meets an invisible woman who refuses to talk to him during his own sentence of invisibility. He later acknowledges her presence once he has completed his sentence. In the short story by Creator/RobertSilverberg, the other invisible person was a man.
** In "Shadow Play", Adam Grant's defense attorney Erin Jacobs goes to the district attorney Mark Ritchie over her concerns that Adam may be telling the truth about all of them being characters in his [[RecurringDreams recurring nightmare]] about being executed. In the [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E62ShadowPlay original episode]], the matter was first raised by the [[AdaptationalJobChange newspaper editor]] Paul Carson.
** In "The Cold Equations", the Ship's Record clerk is a woman. In the [[Literature/TheColdEquations short story]] by Tom Godwin, the clerk is a man.

* ''Literature/LifeAndDeathTwilightReimagined'' was rewritten by Meyer herself to show that Bella would have [[DistressedDamsel reacted the same way]] to all the over-powering supernatural beings around her if she was a guy named Beau (though Beau is described as a little more OCD and a lot less angry). ''Every'' character is flipped save for Bella/Beau's parents, as Meyer felt it would have been harder to justify the dad getting custody and only later moving in with the mom.

* The title character of ''Film/{{Salt}}'' was originally named Edward and played by Creator/TomCruise, but he dropped out. When Creator/AngelinaJolie stepped in, the writers changed Ed to Evelyn and also decided to make Salt's spouse less of a DistressedDamsel.

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has the very strange and short-lived manga ''Gunnota no Onna'', which is about a female Char Aznable working as an OfficeLady while trying to hide her being a ''Gundam'' {{Otaku}}. While most of the cast is Gender Flipped Universal Century characters, a few remain intact, like Gunnota's best friend [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Flay]] and a {{Cameo}} by [[HitmanWithAHeart three]] [[ActualPacifist familiar]]-[[TheLancer looking]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing children]].
* ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' has a {{Running|Gag}} MythologyGag where famous characters from across the franchise's history will appear in brief {{Cameo}} roles. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] appears in Episode 14, but as a teenage girl rather than a dude.

* In the ''VideoGame/Persona4'' fanfiction, ''Fanfic/{{Facade}}'', the protagonist Yu Narukami is gender-swapped. Not much really changes, except for one thing: No-one knows Yu is female.

** The first ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' animated series made the homunculus Sloth a female. The [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist manga]] hadn't introduced Sloth, so the anime used a completely separate character [[spoiler:who was Trisha Elric's homunculus]].

* [[TheHero The Battle Lovers]] and [[RatedMForManly Maximum]] [[PrecursorHeroes Gorar]] from ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' are basically [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical Boy Warriors]] and [[TakeOverTheWorld Caerula Adamas]] and [[PolarOppositeTwins team VEPPer]] are basically [[DarkMagicalGirl Dark Magical Boys]].[[spoiler:..until their respective {{Heel Face Turn}}s, that is]].

* ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' features a female {{Race Lift}}ed version of [[CanonImmigrant Jack (Jackie) McGee]] from ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk'' TV series from the '70s.

* Gender-flipped versions of the cast of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' took the internet by storm, with Kyonko at the center of it all. There are even ongoing fan projects, which can be read at [[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Suzumiya_Haruki_no_Seitenkan Baka-Tsuki]] and at [[http://wiki.sos-dan.com/wiki/Category:Genderbending the SOS-dan wiki]] to ''completely Gender Flip the light novels''. Both were born on this [[http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=63152 Animesuki thread]]. It also has a [[FanFic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan page on this wiki]].
** Similar to the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' example above, it's become popular among fans to make male versions of songs from ''Manga/KOn'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2LhKmsy_M0 Here's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Ee04NFf74 a few]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I813drN6nI0 examples.]]

* ''LightNovel/TheAmbitionOfOdaNobuna'' is yet another Gender Flip take on Warring States period, but only ''partially''. For example, [[UsefulNotes/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.]]

* A manga called ''[[http://myanimelist.net/manga/67315/Shiroi_Majo/ Shiroi Majo]]'' was released in 2014 which features Simo Häyhä in the middle of the Winter War in 1939. Just one slight difference from reality: "Simo Häyhä" is [[GenderFlip a teenage girl]] who looks [[{{Expy}} outrageously similar]] to [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Sinon.]]

* In ''LightNovel/UlyssesJeanneDArcAndTheAlchemistKnights'', Arthur de Richemont, Philip of Burgundy, La Hire and Charlotte de Valois are all gender flips of historical characters from UsefulNotes/TheHundredYearsWar. Considering it is from the same author as ''The Ambition of Oda Nobuna'' above, is no surprise.

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' is a Gender Flip of an ActionGirlfriend series: Kaname Chidori takes the place of the not-so-ordinary AudienceSurrogate and eventual ActionSurvivor, while Sousuke serves as the attractive and highly skilled but [[NoSocialSkills extremely socially inept]] [[BodyguardCrush bodyguard[=/=]love interest]] that enters her life and changes it forever.

* A variant shows up in ''LightNovel/GargoyleOfTheYoshinagas''. When Gargoyle is transported to a mountain village, he meets a pair of siblings who resemble Futaba and Kazumi almost exactly. Since Futaba is a tomboy and Kazumi is very feminine, the gender flipped pair are more normal than their counterparts.

* One episode of ''LightNovel/{{Oreimo}}'' sees Kirino's novel getting adapted into an anime series. InUniverse, the writers of the TV show propose changing the heroine into a boy in order to better entice young male viewers.

* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' depicts the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl as a [[GagBoobs large breasted]] woman.

** In Picture Drama 07, Ashford apparently has a "Cross-dressing festival". Cue Suzaku in a [[SailorFuku sailor uniform]], Rival as an [[GagBoobs over-feminine]] maid, and Lelouch is [[AttractiveBentGender disturbingly]] [[GorgeousPeriodDress convincing]]... Of course, the fans love it. Re-enacted in the ''Lost Colors'' game - where Lelouch makes a surprisingly good bride, Suzaku has fun in a cheerleader outfit, and the male lead is dolled up in a qipao (with fake boobs and OdangoHair included)

** Eventually, when Creator/NormanLovett, who played Holly, left, they just hired Hattie Hayridge, who played his Gender Flip Hilly and said that Holly got a sex change to look like Hilly.

** Eventually, when Norman Lovett, who played Holly, left, they just hired Hattie Hayridge, who played his Gender Flip Hilly and said that Holly got a sex change to look like Hilly.

* Azrael, the cat from ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' was female in the comic books, but is male in the TV show, later comics, and [[Film/TheSmurfs live-action movie]].

* In the 1990s ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFour'' series, Lavinia Forbes, the Baxter Building landlady who doesn't much like having a superhero team in her building but can't evict them, is a flip of Walter Collins, the Baxter Building landlord from early ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' comics, who doesn't much like having a superhero team in his building but can't evict them.

* [[TheHero The Battle Lovers]] and [[RatedMForManly Maximum]] [[PrecursorHeroes Gorar]] from ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' are basically [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical Boy Warriors]] and [[TakeOverTheWorld Caerula Adamas]] and [[PolarOppositeTwins team VEPPer]] are basically [[DarkMagicalGirl Dark Magical Boys]].[[spoiler:..until their respective {{Heel-Face Turn}}s, that is]].

* ConversationalTroping in ''Series/TheMuppets'' episode "Got Silk?", when Uncle Deadly says his theatre group is performing a genderflipped ''Film/{{Clueless}}'' (although in the performance we see, Deadly is playing Cher in drag because the leading lady cancelled). Apparently it works better than their previous play; a genderflipped ''Film/KnockedUp''.

* ''Manga/{{Ooku}}: The Inner Chambers'' does this to Shogunate Japan from the reign of Iemitsu on, with three exceptions: the original Shogun Iemitsu, who died young and is replaced by his daughter, who takes on his name and reign, UsefulNotes/The47Ronin, who (mostly) stay all male, and [[spoiler: Shogun Ienari, becoming the first male shogun in decades.]].

* The Famicom game ''Final Mission'' featured two male commandos as the main characters. When the game was localized for the NES under the title of ''[[VideoGame/SCATSpecialCyberneticAttackTeam S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team]]'', one of them became female.

* ''Comicbook/TheMultiversity'':

* Similarly, some ''Comicbook/{{Exiles}}'' stories had the team visit worlds with gender-flipped versions of Marvel heroes. The most prominent example would be the team's version of Sunfire, who had the civilian identity of Mariko Yashida rather than Shiro Yoshida.

** Comicbook/{{Metamorpho}} has now been replaced by Element Woman. As she is also of Korean descent, she counts as a [[TwoferTokenMinority Twofer]].

** ''New Getter Robo'' does this again, but this time, to Raikou Minamoto. And by the way, she predates VideoGame/FateGrandOrder's Mama Raikou!

* ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' likes to do this because only three of its usual main cast (Matsuyo, Totoko and Nyaa) are female. In the second cour of the first season and the first cour of the second, there were the "Girlymatsu-sans" who resemble the Sextuplets but are female, with a job, [[spoiler: and [[{{ArsonMurderAndJaywalking}} not related]]]]. By the second cour of the second season, new characters (often female) are assembled out of the Sextuplets to better suit the one-off stories' needs.

** The Human Torch from the Comicbook/FantasticFour becomes a teenage girl, with her name changed from Johnny Storm to Jonatha Storm. She's also a rather blatant {{Expy}} of Asuka from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.
** Comicbook/IronMan became Antoinette "Toni" Stark, though it was later revealed she's the younger sister of the "real" Tony Stark.
** The Comicbook/XMen villain Pyro is changed from an Australian man to a British woman.
* There's also one universe where Comicbook/IronMan is a woman named Natasha Stark, who ended up falling in love with and marrying Captain America. Think of that what you will.
* The WhatIf story ''Catwoman: Guardian of Gotham'' is essentially a gender-flipped version of the Batman mythos, with Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} as a superhero and Batman as her nemesis. Additionally, gender-flipped versions of Alfred and Two-Face appear in supporting roles.

* ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'':
** The Thor Corps consists of various versions of [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]] from across the Multiverse, including female wielders of Mjolnir like Comicbook/{{Storm}}, Comicbook/{{Gamora}}, Comicbook/{{Dazzler}} and Comicbook/MariaHill.
** In the ''[[Comicbook/ShangChi Master of Kung Fu]]'' limited series, female versions of Comicbook/{{Sabretooth}} and Comicbook/MoonKnight are seen as entrants in the tournament to decide the new ruler of K'un-L'un.
* ComicBook/{{Earth 2}}:

* One issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan [[{{Elseworld}} Fairy Tales]]'' was yet another gender-flipped Cinderella. Peter was Cinders, with Comicbook/{{Norman|Osborn}} and Harry Osborn as the evil stepfather and stepbrother. Gwen was the princess, and MJ a servant at the Osborn household who helped Peter (possibly a gender-flipped version of the {{Panto}} character Buttons.)
* ''Comicbook/SpiderVerse'':
** ''Edge of Spider-Verse'' has the SP//dr mech, which is piloted by Peni Parker, a Japanese-American schoolgirl who is her universe's version of Peter Parker. The later ''Edge of Comicbook/SpiderGeddon'' mini-series also introduces a girl named Addy Brock, the pilot of the [[Comicbook/{{Venom}} VEN#m]] mech.

** In ''Comicbook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'', a young girl becomes the new Robin. News reports about Batman's new sidekick don't know any better, and continue to call his assistant "Boy Wonder".
** [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2009}} Stephanie Brown]] became Robin when Tim Drake retired for a short time.
** In the above-mentioned ''Comicbook/{{Earth 2}}'' series, Robin was [[Comicbook/{{Huntress}} Helena Wayne]], Bruce's teenage daughter.

* When Mick Anglo [[{{Expy}} Expied]] the ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' cast to make ''[[ComicBook/{{Miracleman}} Marvelman]]'', Captain Marvel became Marvelman, Captain Marvel Jr. became Kid Marvelman... and Mary Marvel became Young Marvelman.
* In Creator/DCComics' ComicBook/{{New 52}} version of ''The Green Team'', Cecil Sunbeam, kid movie director, becomes Cecilia Sunbeam, starlet.
* Dare, in the Comicbook/AmalgamUniverse title ''Assassins'', was an [[CompositeCharacter amalgam]] of Daredevil and Deathstroke, both male characters, but was female.

* In the Comicbook/{{New 52}} version of ''[[Comicbook/NewGods The Forever People]]'', Serifan has become Serafina. (She's also had a RaceLift, since she's [[RelatedInTheAdaptation now Vykin's sister]].)
* In ''Comicbook/JustImagineStanLeeCreatingTheDCUniverse'', Comicbook/TheFlash is a teenage girl named Mary Maxwell.

* ''Comicbook/SpiderGwen'':

** This version of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is an [[RaceLift African-American]] woman named [[Comicbook/TheFalcon Samantha Wilson]].
** In another Distaff/Composite mix, this universe's Comicbook/PeggyCarter is the one-eyed, [[OlderThanTheyLook long-lived]] director of Comicbook/{{SHIELD}}, effectively making her a female version of Comicbook/NickFury in all but name.
** [[Comicbook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]] is a male agent named Jesse Drew.
** The Comicbook/{{Venom}} symbiote was created by a scientist named Elsa Brock, a play on Venom's traditional alter ego of Eddie Brock.

* Laufey from ''Comicbook/TheMightyThor'' is an odd example. In the mythology, Loki is often referred to as "[[IAmXSonOfY Loki Laufeyson]]," the same way that Thor is called "Odinson;" ergo, Marvel created their own version of Laufrey as Loki's father. The thing is, in the original myths, Laufrey was actually Loki's ''mother,'' while his father was named Fárbauti. Presumably the ''Thor'' writers just didn't realize that. (Incidentally, scholars aren't sure why Loki uses a matronymic; since the myths were originally written as poems, it's quite possibly just AddedAlliterativeAppeal.)
* ''Comicbook/SuperSons'' Annual #1 reintroduces Streaky the Super-Cat. In this version Streaky is female (and apparently [[InterspeciesRomance in love with Krypto]]) although he was a tomcat on Earth-One and in the ''WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperdog'' cartoon.

* In the New 52 ''Comicbook/GreenArrow'' book, a female version of Silver Age GA villain the Red Dart (originally a man named Jonathan Mallory) was introduced as a member of Richard Dragon's Longbow Hunters. This version later appeared in ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.
* ''ComicBook/DetectiveComicsRebirth'' reveals [[spoiler:Jeremiah Arkham has a daughter named Astrid, who's become a costumed villain targeting Batman. What puts here here? Her costumed identity is a combination of this, DecompositeCharacter and SamusIsAGirl as as she takes up an identity held by an alternate version of [[Comicbook/RedHood Jason Todd]]: [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight the Arkham Knight]].]]

* "The Girl Who Lived" is a popular idea for stories in Literature/HarryPotter fandom:
** ''FanFic/AButterflyEffect'' is one of many, replacing Harry James Potter with Harriet Lily Potter.

** ''FanFic/HarryPotterAndTheMysteriousCurseOfTheGirlWhoLived'' plays with this idea, keeping Harry a boy but placing him under a strange curse that makes everyone magical see him as a girl. With a very few exceptions (Dumbledore, Ollivander and Luna), the curse stops them from considering for even a moment that "Harriet" might not be a girl, no matter how many times Harry tries to tell them.
** ''FanFic/WeasleyGirl'' keeps Harry a boy but gives the Gender Flip treatment to Ron Weasley instead, turning him into Veronica "Ronnie" Weasley.

* Special mention goes to ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' story Let It Rain which is a Gender Re-Flip of Jeremy was a girl in the books just with a different name and aged up.

* In the pre-Crisis Earth-S fanfic ''Whatever Happened to Isis?'', Isis's LoveInterest Rick Mason is given an AdventureArchaeologist sister named Regina, who is transformed by the Orb of Ra into a {{Shapeshifter}}; a gender flip of Earth-1's ''Rex'' Mason aka Comicbook/{{Metamorpho}}.

* The version of Comicbook/DoctorOctopus seen in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' is a female scientist named Olivia "Liv" Octavius.

* Sandy the dog, (a male in the previous adaptations of ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'' as well as in ''ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnnie''), is a female in ''Film/{{Annie 2014}}''.

* In the Creator/RussellBrand remake of ''Film/{{Arthur 2011}}'', Hobson the butler, played by Sir Creator/JohnGielgud in the original, becomes Lillian Hobson the nanny, played by Dame Creator/HelenMirren. In addition, Arthur's mother takes the role his father had in the original.

* The 1967 version of ''Film/{{Bedazzled|1967}}'' starred Creator/PeterCook as the Devil. [[Film/{{Bedazzled 2000}} The 2000 remake]] cast Elizabeth Hurley in that role.

* Jaq the mouse from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' becomes Jacqueline in ''Film/{{Cinderella 2015}}''.

* ''Film/FrightNight2NewBlood'' is supposedly a sequel to [[Film/FrightNight2011 the 2011 remake]] of [[Film/FrightNight1985 the 1985 movie]], but it's really just another remake with Jerry (renamed Gerri) as a female vampire. Oh, and [[RecycledInSpace it's set in Romania instead of the United States]].

* The plot of ''Film/{{Grease 2}}'' is basically a flip of the first movie's plot. The guy is now the naïve, sweet one and the girl is the tough, experienced gang member.

*** [[spoiler: [[Comicbook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}} Mar-Vell]] is a woman, played by Creator/AnnetteBening. The character's human alter ego is consequently changed from "Walter Lawson" to "Wendy Lawson."]]

** In ''The Eternals'', the characters Makkari, Ajak and Sprite, all of whom are men in the [[Comicbook/TheEternals the original comics]], are played by women.

* The ''Literature/KhaavrenRomances'' are a fantasy [[RecycledInSpace recycling]] of the ''D'Artagnan Romances'' (''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' and its sequels). The Porthos-equivalent, Tazendra, is female. This leads to interesting results, as the original is very much a BoisterousBruiser, a character-type almost always male, and applying these traits to Tazendra not only makes her a rare female example, but also results in her having some of the traits of TheLadette.

* Terry Pratchett is fond of genderswapped gags in his Literature/{{Discworld}} books.

* Literature/HonorHarrington, in her role as ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'' InSpace!

** Season 4's "Luck Be A Lady", introduces Becky "Hazard" Sharp, who is female in both the series and the comics ... except the details of how her WindsOfDestinyChange powers work are altered slightly to essentially make her a gender flip of Amos Fortune, specifically the way he's presented in ''[[Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational Justice League Europe]]''.

** And obscure ''Comicbook/{{Hawkman}}'' character Null, who's a woman named Janet Petty instead of a man named, well, Null, as far as we know.

* ''Series/{{Missing 2012}}'' ([[SimilarlyNamedWorks neither]] [[{{Missing}} of these]]) (female secret agent searches for her kidnapped son) seems to be a gender-flipped TV version of ''Film/{{Taken}}'' (male ex-secret agent searches for his kidnapped daughter).

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' did this to few notable characters from the comics:

* ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'' plays with this trope; H.G. Wells is split into two people; the real H.G. Wells is Helena G. Wells, the genius inventor, adventurer, and warehouse agent. The man recognized as Creator/HGWells is her older brother Charles, who chronicled her adventures using her abbreviated name as a pen name.

* ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' is a {{Mattel}} toyline of dolls based in the classic monsters, generally with the gender flipped as is directed toward girls (so, logically, most characters will be female); including Draculaura (Dracula), Frankie Stein (Frankenstein), Clawdette (the Wolf Man), Cleo (the Mummy) and of course the opposite case with Deuce Gorgon (Medusa).

* Technically all games where you can pick the gender of your PlayerCharacter feature genderflipped versions of the protagonist. No matter if you play as male or female, your character is given the same backstory, same quests, and same character arc. A good example is Creator/BioWare's ''Franchise/MassEffect'' trilogy, where Shepard is given the same last name, familial backstory, and pre-service record regardless of gender, so the male and female versions of Shepard are essentially GenderFlipped alternate versions of each other. Some games, however, like ''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout4}} Fallout 4]]'', avert this by making the male and female versions of the PlayerCharacter distinct. In the case of ''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout4}} Fallout 4]]'', the male and female versions of the Sole Survivor are husband and wife. [[spoiler:Only the chosen PC survives the tutorial, and part of their motivation is tracking down their spouse's killer.]]

** In the ''Innocent Sin'' half of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', [[TokenMinority Lisa Silverman's]] Initial Persona is [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Eros]]. In Greek myth, two male deities share that name, one being a love god and the other the primordial deity of procreation, but in this game, she's female.

* VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII:
** Lightning was billed as a DistaffCounterpart to VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII[='=]s Cloud Strife. This got hilarious when fans of the series, after decades of extremely pretty and androgynous heroes, were all too ready to complain that Lightning was "just another girl-faced guy". Until they found out that she actually ''was'' a girl.

* One of the playable characters of ''Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors'' is the cold and stoic [[KungFuWizard imperial sorceress]] Seimei, a major protagonist and spiritual guide who's based on the real-life man and legendary Japanese folk-figure Abe no Seimei.

* Abe no Seimei is a she in ''[[VideoGame/OtogiMythOfDemons Otogi 2]]''. Creator/FromSoftware must like this trope, because this is not the first game of theres where Seimei is a woman.
* The main games in Red Entertainment's ''Videogame/SakuraWars'' franchise all feature male main characters.

* ''Videogame/ShovelKnight'' added Body Swap Mode as part of the Treasure Trove update, allowing players to switch the genders of whichever major characters they choose, updating the sprites and dialog to match. The only thing it doesn't affect is the visuals of the intro cutscene, since the developers would have needed to create versions of the pixel art for every possible permutation of the main cast's genders.
* ''Videogame/DefenseOfTheAncients'' had Tresdin the Legion Commander: a mustachioed and [[FantasticRacism racist]] [[ExactlyWhatitSaysOntheTin commander of a legion.]] In ''Videogame/Dota2'' 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'' demons after [[DoomedHometown Stonehall.]]
* In the NES version and one of the US arcade versions of the Capcom shoot-'em-up ''Legendary Wings'', the two main characters of Michelle Heart and Kevin Walker are replaced by nameless angels, both of them male.

* The doujin soft game [[http://www.download.com/3000-20-10536283.html Go! Magical Boy]] is a RomanceGame that switches the genders of the MagicalGirl genre. [[spoiler:Well, mostly -- the player character looks like a girl to others when transformed and has to give up his powers to a legitimate girl in the end. So not the best game ever.]]

* The ''[=TaishoXAlice=]'' series of visual novels does a different take on fairy tales, folktales, and their female protagonists... by sending the heroine of the series into a fairy tale world where all of them are men.

* Played with in ''Webcomic/DokiDokiLiteratureGirls''. Natsuki is a pre-op transgirl in the comic where as in [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub the original game]], she is a girl in both biology and gender indentification, making her a case of gender flipping only in terms of biology.

Also, the ''Official Doujinshi'' SpinOff had a chapter where all the characters were female, with Kaguya and Shirogane's DuelOfSeduction being reimagined as a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship.
