You're right, this isn't the first time it's been brought up, See the earlier TRS thread here
The telling points in the earlier discussion are that
- how insulting "bitch" is varies wildly depending on the circumstances, context, and persons using it and hearing it.
- that the only people "bitch" is being applied to here are fictional characters, not real people.
- that the name is a pun on "wolf in Sheep's Clothing that changing to some other animal or word will kill.
Declining to open.

I am not the first user to bring this up (As seen in the Discussion tab of the Bitch in Sheep's Clothing page) "Bitch" Is a gendered insult. It implies femininity, even when one uses the word against a male person. The trope is about a person who is kind on the outside and mean on the inside. Gender is not necessary at all.
Surely we are a community that is creative enough to think of a title that doesn't use gendered slurs?
Edit: Why not Ass in Sheeps Clothing? Still sorta follows the format of (Animal) in (Other Animal's) clothes. And "Ass" is gender neutral!
