@Shadow: I hope you realize the difference now. Rule 63=Fanon. Fan stuff. Not In-Universe. Gender Bender=Canon. In-Universe. Making a fanart with a female Mario Mario=Rule 63. Mario somehow becoming a woman in an actual media (videogame, tvshow, etc) somehow=Gender Bender.

Crossdressing=/=Gender Bending. Transexuality=/=Gender Bending. While the 3 can overlap, they are different things with different definitions by themselves. A Dragged Into Drag character that ends up gender-bending can be seen as Irony. A Transexual that genderbends can be seen as Wish Fulfillment.

As such, no, JNPR's inspirations are not gender benders at all, at most cross-dressers. The closest to that is Thor, who himself could not genderbend, at best do a bad imitation of Freya, but was related to Odin and Loki, who both did become women at some point (and not just human women). Even gave birth to some things that way (that's where Sleipnir comes from).

Now, as for how it could happen in Remnant, IDK to be honest. I always thought that, being more advanced, things such as sex-changing operations and hormone-related medicine was more "effective". Not the usual kind of genderbending but still counts.
