  • Attractive Bent Gender
rdfs:comment
  • This may result in awkwardness for all concerned. The sex-changed character will often examine her new form and find it to be very... attractive. Only to promptly Squick herself out when she realizes what she's thinking. Attractive Bent Gender operates in tandem with the First Law of Gender Bending to leave the world more attractive than it had been before. Or at least no less attractive. A handsome man may become a beautiful woman... but so will an unattractive man. In true Gender Bender or Easy Sex Change situations, one rarely encounters a handsome man who becomes an unattractive woman.

  • This may result in awkwardness for all concerned. The sex-changed character will often examine her new form and find it to be very... attractive. Only to promptly Squick herself out when she realizes what she's thinking. Attractive Bent Gender operates in tandem with the First Law of Gender Bending to leave the world more attractive than it had been before. Or at least no less attractive. A handsome man may become a beautiful woman... but so will an unattractive man. In true Gender Bender or Easy Sex Change situations, one rarely encounters a handsome man who becomes an unattractive woman. The trope may also apply to scenarios where a male is Disguised in Drag or crossdressing. Sometimes this is played straight, but (particularly when the crossdressing is Played for Laughs) it's often a case of Informed Attractiveness. In such scenarios, despite the "new woman" looking mannish and homely to the audience and most characters, someone will unaccountably be smitten with "her." Hilarity Ensues as the crossdressed hero tries to fend off the advances of an unwanted suitor. This trope frequently leads up to the Second Law of Gender Bending. Sweet on Polly Oliver is a subtrope where a woman crossdressing is found attractive by guys. Frequently accompanies Something's Different About You Now. See also Rule 63, which basically exists because of this trope. When they actually are both genders, it becomes Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite. Contrary to stereotype, this can be Truth in Television. Examples of Attractive Bent Gender include:
