Is this a new fad? This is probably the half dozenth picture like this I've stumbled across on twitter, lj, or tumblr in the last week alone.

Shane for Wax:
nuh uh. It's been a thing forever.

rosenewock21:
I know it's been around forever (being a semi-common plot device in fan fics), but previously I would see it in tiny doses. Now I'm running smack into it on all my social sites. I just wanted to know if I missed a memo or something.

Shane for Wax:
It might be you're just noticing it more. Like how I didn't notice transphobic comments that much until I figured out I was trans myself. Not sure why you'd suddenly notice gender-bending characters but there ya go. :P

But no... I don't think it's suddenly becoming a surge in popularity. I myself haven't seen anything to suggest it.

Da Rat Bastid:
Earth-11.  A parallel DC universe where all characters who have a physical gender are of the opposite gender from their Earth-Prime versions.

(Personally, I wanna see what Earth-11 Darkseid looks like.  Also, would "Alexis" Luthor be bald, I wonder?) ;)
