Gender Blender: You know, if you're going to be like this about it, I think maybe you should stick to bodyswap and genderswap in fan fiction.īut you'll all be relieved to know that Tom and Emma got good grades on their gender report and learned not to argue so much. Gender Blender: I did avoid the smoochy ending you were fearing. Gender Blender: But I have many other things to offer! Did I mention that there is embarrassment squick aplenty? Plus, you know, she's a good girl, so obviously she wouldn't want to. Gender Blender: It might make boys uncomfortable. Also, why is there a whole chapter of Tom checking out the girls in the locker room (where most of them turn out to be ugly and fat!) and the shower, and getting to see the boobs of his crush and so on, but Emma never gets a chance to check out guys in the shower or the bathroom or anywhere? Me: This is my review, and I will call it a tiddlewinkle before I call it a boy part. Also, we prefer to use the term 'boy part.' Gender Blender: Because, see, boys like boobs.

Me: If you're going to have a scene where Tom-in-Emma's-body looks in a mirror to have his First Real Experience of Boobs, and he's all excited about that, then why does Emma's only exploration of Tom's body consist of thinking Tom's dick is a chipmunk when she wakes up with an erection? Look, since we're talking and all, can I ask you a question? Tom is a slacker slobbo thrill-seeking baseball player dude! He likes to spit and punch things. Gender Blender: And then I think we should explore gender by reinforcing stereotypes! Emma is a sweet little gymnast A-student perfectionist, always eager to please, but also part of an evil bitch cabal! Also, she likes to talk about feelings. Let's start off with a spurious Native American legend! Ha ha, those wacky Indians and their crazy gender-swapping gods! Let's just present this as a conversation between me and the book.
