Oh, I can definitely see where you're coming from. I think if I had encountered all the genderswap stuff in the abstract, or via bad writers, I would be pretty wtf about it too. (It probably helps that I came into the fandom via fic rather than via the show--I always thought the boys were pretty, but it wasn't until I had read a TON of fic that I could really get into the show itself. So maybe I just didn't have as strong an attachment to to guys as we see them onscreen?)
And I'm kind of having a het renaissance, myself, so....I mean, there is a fair amount of good Sam/Jess, or Sam/Jess/Dean (which I really do love, but they're hard to find, given that she's dead and all), and some good crossovers (like I love Dean/Faith)--but really I like the boys best with each other. Even if one (or both) is a girl at the time.
