B'sides, residentccentric said "genderbender is a character who changes their gender". <-That's literally, exactly, blatantly what happens. It's literally what the trope is about.

Plus, If one wants to refer to the act of genderbending itself and not just a character who does within a work, they can just say genderbending instead of genderbender. What's so confusing here? If one wants to refer to the act, they say genderbending. If one wants to refer to a character who genderbends, they say genderbender. Got it memorized?

Don't be so retarded, the distinction is right there, both written, defined, and pronounced. Is like the difference between "(he) fired the gun" and "firing the gun". In the former he fired the gun, the latter only refers to the act of doing so and not him in particular. Confusing? Nope.
