There are two things (well, a hell of a lot more that two, really...) that I don't understand--lol cats and Sam-is-a-girl stories.

Why is Sam a girl? What for is he female? Because number one--that's one ugly broad. Number two--why??? Explain to me, and I might read those stories. Right now, they just scare me. I can read a limited amount of Lex-in-a-skirt, but gender change stories...not too much.

And the cats just freak me out. There, I said it. They make me all ew and grumpy. But I must admit, inanimate objects with personality can make me laugh. And fish, and other non-fluffy animals. Somehow, it's just cats and dogs I don't like all that much. (as in hell no)


The world was so much simpler when I was a girl.

Oh, p.s., I'm replying here to a lot of comments downthread that I think are making huge generalizations based on lack of knowledge: LOTS of the folks writing genderswap and/or Winsister fic ALSO write slash. In fact, a lot of them also write Sam/Dean as boys--they just also enjoy sometimes writing them as girls. So this idea that genderswap is all about hating slash or fear of gaysex? Is pretty damn misinformed. [And frankly, I find a lot more fear of hetsex than fear of gay sex in SPN fandom...but that's a whole different issue].

I didn't want to pick fights with people I don't know in your journal, so I'm just putting it here for the record.

Oh my dear, you know that's going to pop up. I am often very hesitant about voicing a strong opinion because in a lot of cases it's taken for open season on whatever the subject is, but you know me. You know I really want to know what makes it good--or bad--for a person.
