Gender Bending in Western Animation.
- The last episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog has Sonic and Tails transported into various fairy tales. In the first one they visit, they're Hansel and Nettle (Gretel).

- The Amazing World of Gumball: The episode "The Job" involves Richard's reality-warping shockwaves hitting the other Wattersons and Larry, who switch genders at one point.
- In the American Dad! episode "Stan Goes on the Pill", Stan turns into a woman after taking an experimental pill that was supposed to make it easier for him to listen to women. The female doctor giving him the pill told him that he was only supposed to take half, and naturally, he didn't listen.
- Archer: In Sterling Archer's dream in season 8, Pam became a man. He almost had a future with a bunch of trafficked Chinese women.

- In the Batman Beyond episode "Out of the Past", it turns out that Ra's al Ghul has taken over his daughter's body, which is even more disturbing than it sounds. Ra's can speak with his Ra's voice, even though he has the body of a woman... the transition is outright creepy. Furthermore, Ra's still acts in a very effeminate manner, despite the voice. Remarking on the situation:Terry: Lady, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen. You're creeping me out!
Bruce: You? She kissed me. - Codename: Kids Next Door:
- "Operation: F.U.T.U.R.E." has a young misandric lass who gets a "Girlifyier" gun from her alternate future self. Cue the dystopian alternate future, where Numbuh Four (minus his hand) is the only adult male left. He becomes the leader of the Boys Next Door; with the help of Numbuh Three's granddaughter develops a "Boyifyier", and a sex-swapping battle ensues. He manages to evade this future by going back in time and changing things.
- In "Operation: C.A.R.A.M.E.L.", Numbuh Five's candy-hunting rival, Heinrich von Marzipan, turns out to have once been a girl, who was transformed into an ugly boy through some magic caramels which took away her beauty. And this is the reason he has such a big grudge against Abby.
- In the Danny Phantom episode "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale", there is a very brief scene (literally just a second) where Technus turns Danny into a blonde supermodel with a ghostly remote control.
- Dexter's Laboratory: In the episode "Oh, Brother", Dexter gets tired of Dee Dee's antics and uses one of his inventions to travel to an alternate universe where he has an older brother instead of an older sister. Unfortunately, Dexter discovers that "Dudey" is an obnoxious Jerk Jock whom his parents favor over him and who is even more destructive than Dee Dee.

- The Fairly OddParents!:
- In "The Boy Who Would Be Queen", Timmy becomes a girl after he mocks Wanda's idea of wishing to turn into one (to find the perfect gift for Trixie Tang), noting that he did say "I wish" and "girl." This does allow him to think like a normal girl; after some humorous jabs at him by his godparents, Timmy gets back at them by wishing they switched genders, becoming Cosma and Wando.
- In "Mr. Right!", Timmy's wish to always be right turns him into a Reality Warper where anything he says becomes true. One of the things he does with this power is summon a burly male masked wrestler, Crusher McPerson Crusher in this case, to beat up Francis the bully, when said wrestler screams "WHO'S THE MAN?" and Timmy answers "Not you!" the Manly Man turns into a still very burly blonde woman in a pink floral dress and skips off happily. At the end of the episode, she reappears as Francis's new girlfriend, Nancy the wrestler.
- In "The Good Old Days!", Timmy wishes himself, his grandfather, Cosmo and Wanda into a 1930s style cartoon where Wouldn't Hit a Girl is a law of the universe. He therefore makes an additional wish that the Vicky analogue was a boy so he can defeat "him".
- It's never been revealed how Timmy's parents, who dressed as each other for the Halloween Episode, were affected by Timmy's "Real and Scary" wish. Apparently, it wasn't traumatic for them, as they dressed as each other again in "Take and Fake".
- In "Dadlantis", Chloe's wish turns her and Timmy into mermaids, with Timmy becoming female in the process.
- This happened to Timmy again in a Nickelodeon Magazine comic where he saw that his classmate Elmer was sad and wished to be his fairy godfather. His fairies didn't let him finish speaking before granting the wish and ended up turning him into a fairy godmother instead.
- An ambiguous one happens in "A Bad Case of Diary-Uh!". In an effort to mess up Vicky's beauty, he wishes for the makeup artist (female) to be a monster movie make-up artist. Said female makeup artist turns into a stocky man with an oddly Camp Gay sounding voice. It's unclear Timmy swapped the female make-up artist's gender or just replaced her with someone else.
- Futurama:

- In "Bend Her", Bender poses as a fembot to compete in the Olympic games, wins several gold medals, then has to have a sex change in order to pass the gender verification test. As the fembot "Coilette", she becomes the trophy girlfriend of the robot actor Calculon, initially planning to marry and divorce him so she can take half his stuff. However, she has a crisis of conscience after discovering that Calculon is genuinely in love with Coilette—and prepared to give up acting to be with her. With the clock ticking on Bender's deadline to change back, the crew agrees to help fake Collette's death at the wedding, bringing closure to the relationship. The final scene hints that Bender retains his feelings for Calculon as a male.
- "Neutopia" brings the entire Planet Express crew to a planet where gender is unknown, and a Sufficiently Advanced Alien swaps their sexes by accident then gets killed by Zapp before they can fix it. Leela and Amy do not enjoy being male, while Fry, Bender, and the other men-turned-women find the experience fun. In a Call-Back, Bender's female form is Coilette.
- In "The Prisoner of Benda", Amy and Professor Farnsworth use an Applied Phlebotinum device to voluntarily switch bodies (she wants to binge eat without consequences, he wants to be young again). Once they try to switch back, however, they discover that the machine cannot be used on the same two people twice... leading to a barrage of body swapping hilarity that includes (but isn't limited to) Bender inhabiting Amy, Leela switching into the Professor's body, and Amy switching with Hermes.
- Jamie's Got Tentacles!: In "Princess Jamie", after Jamie is engaged to the Nostrax Princess, he decides to become a girl so that he can't marry her!
- In one episode of Johnny Bravo, "Witch-ay Woman", a Fortune Teller tries to teach Johnny a lesson in showing women respect by turning him into one. He may or may not have only been mesmerised into thinking he was a woman.
- Johnny Test:
- In one episode, an invention turns Johnny into a hot girl for about 5 seconds, then overloads and turns him into a hulking female monster. She turns back to normal a few seconds later.

- Another episode has Johnny and Dukey turn into female rollerbladers to win a roller derby.
- In Justice League Action, when Superman is exposed to pink kryptonite, he's turned into a woman (and an Amazonian Beauty at that, except his voice stays the same) instead of being turned gay. He doesn't seem to mind too much, although once it's resolved, he asks Firestorm not to tell Batman.

He approves of his own looks in that form, and leaves Grog "Confused, and aroused".
- Lloyd in Space hangs an entire episode on a one-shot who's "Neither Boy or Girl" and of a species that chooses its own gender at the age of thirteen. They do at the end of the episode; however, they look no different from before. But we'll never know which gender they chose.

- Possibly in "Inspiration Manifestation", depending on whether Rarity replaced that mariachi pony with Octavia, or turned him into her. The episode doesn't really explain what happened there.
- In an episode of Ozzy & Drix, "An Out of Body Experience", when Ozzy accidentally ends up in the body of Christine instead of his usual (for the TV show) human host Hector, Ozzy's own sex starts changing and turning pink. He very nearly becomes completely female, but does not lose his beard.
- The premise of Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero involves a combination of body snatching and shapeshifting, so naturally the main cast occasionally end up getting genderbent.
- In "The Princess Most Fair" Penn is the eponymous princess, Sashi is a knight, Boone is a fairy godmother, Rippen is a sorceress, and Larry is a female magic mirror. While Sashi and Rippen's genderbent forms both look like entirely different people, Boone and Penn just look like female versions of their original selves.
- In "Rip-Penn", Boone is a housemaid while Sashi is a male chemist. Both forms are very similar to their regular ones, with the only major difference being their clothing and hair.
- There was an episode of Purno de Purno where the eponymous character drank a potion that changed him into a girl. He remains a girl for the remaining duration of the episode, where he goes to a tent in a Middle Eastern desert as a vacation spot.
- Robot Chicken had an episode parodying Ranma ½ where the Nerd finds a spring like the spring of the drowned girl at Jusenkyou. He jumps in imagining all the advantages of being a sexy girl. Unfortunately, it turned out that the girl who drowned there was fat, gassy and had a club foot, so you can imagine the payoff.
