I seriously question whether Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a narrative of "gender bending". It is about masquerading as another person (who happens to be of another sex), it isn't about sexual deviancy.
How about adding Star Trek DS9: The symbiotic character Dax had several male and female hosts and explores at least some aspects of gender bending - one of the first "private" conversation of the charater is about the feeling of beeing female again after several male hosts. — Preceding

In regards to the "gender bending" article, I think that it should stay and not be deleted since it is a term that is more scholarly than other more explicit terms that have been mentioned to replace it. I believe that college textbooks on gender would be more likely to have gender bending as the term of choice. To my knowledge, the term gender bending can be used as a form of resistance toward societal gender expectations, which could be added to the page. As for resources, Lorber's Paradoxes of Gender written in 1994 is a good one that speaks about this issue and could be used as a helpful source for the page.

If we're to include this section, it needs some sourcing. I think the instances where the book or other work is notable and linked, usually the text covers the details of sourcing. But all of these manga and anime ones... they don't always mention episodes or any other details that would allow us to check if this is WP:V. The most recent addition, for instance, includes no mention in the linked article. For now I've flagged it for cites, but this is an issue on a number of entries on that list. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 19:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
I've added a few citations, but I'm not especially fond of the "examples" section. I think one paragraph could probably summarize gender-bending in popular culture. Or maybe two, if we spent a lot of time discussing glam rock. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 03:10, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Can someone explain why this belongs in the lede? The terms do not appear to be synonyms. Czolgolz ( talk) 08:09, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Flyer22 Reborn: - I went with the sex and gender distinction in the phrasing on "assigned at birth" to try and make this more culturally inclusive. Not all cultures assign the same gender roles based on sex; not all cultures define gender roles the same way. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 21:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
This article appears to be very biased and uses very unscientific methods of explaining the Circumstance.
Many Ideas are simply stated as Fact and controversial Sources aren't hinted to be controversial.

Overall I think this article was well written and had a great structure that flowed well and get the reader engaged. As some people have mentioned before me, I do think the term "genderfuck" didn't need to be given as much emphasis as it was. Using it as a reference for street slang is acceptable, but as a way of keeping the article written in a scholarly manor, I think it would have been best to leave it at that, and not continue to use it so much throughout the text. There could have been some more elaboration in certain sections, particularly "Literature". There could have been more examples of pieces of literature, and perhaps even the history of literature's role in gender bending and how it has changed throughout history. For the most part, this article did a great job citing it's sources and gathering it's information from many sources. The only section where there was a lack in citations was the examples listed at the end. Some of the examples listed had no citation at all, and although they may very well be legitimate, doing the necessary research to provide a citation would bring more validity to the section and article as a whole. Overall, a solid article. ( Abigail Payne ( talk) 01:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC))
Shouldn't this article be called gender bending instead of gender bender? It seems to me that the title should focus on the activity instead of individuals who bend gender roles. Does anyone else have input on this, as I am not sure of Wikipedia's rules on this. I noticed that "genderfuck" was merged into this, and its title referred to the activity instead of genderfuckers. generic_hipster 21:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

I replaced the use of "genderfucking" in the article with "genderbending" in this edit. I see now that it is actual slang (still stated as such in the lead). But I think the instances I changed are still an improvement since that is the term used in the article title and section headings. Bennv3771 ( talk) 18:10, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

The sections in the article have information that comes off as irrelevant to the topic of the article. Like the article defines gender bender as A gender bender is a person who dresses up and acts like the opposite sex.
Yet the article goes on it mentions stuff like “gender binary” as well as “Judith Butler and gender as performance”. Yet these sections don't mention gender bending nor do they say why they are related to gender bending. Plus Wikipedia already has articles for these topics we don't need to explain what these concepts are. CycoMa ( talk) 03:47, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
|reason=
param in a template, even if it's not documented, and I recommend using it almost always. If there's no code to handle it, then it will not have any effect, other than to sit in the wikicode, where it has a documentary value. Ditto for |talk=
. So, for example, you could code the template thus:
{{
Irrelevant|reason=Section doesn't mention anything about gender bending or explain how it is related to gender bending.|talk=Irrelevant to the topic|date=October 2021}}
