random thoughts on genderswitch

So, I'm just wondering, how is it that so many people who write boy-turns-into-girl fics seem to think that a boy's jeans will just slide right off a girl's hips? Because, no!

I just read a (really cool) AJ-as-girl story, in which girl!AJ had to have a belt to hold up his jeans. AJ. Who practically *has* no hips. Now, if she'd been unable to pull them up over her newly-feminine hips, that would have made sense. No doubt a female version of AJ Maclean would be small and wiry and not endowed with lush curves like, say, a female Nick would be (cor!), but there are certain fundamentals, if you'll excuse my saying so, of feminine anatomy, and one is that the hips *exist*.

So, peeps. What's with the hipless wonders?

I think it's coming from girls who assume men are always bigger than girls no matter what. I'm not sure if that's because they're tiny little girls or all the guys they know are huge.

But yeah. If a man's shirt fits me, his jeans sure as hell won't.

(A female Nick would be pretty hot...)

Yep. I mean, I steal my man's boxers once in a while, but while they're comfortably loose on him there certainly isn't a lot of spare capacity for me!

What we need are measurements! That'd stop this. Also, it would make it clear whether or not Lance and JC could share pants. (I vote NO!)

I vote no as well. Lance has buffed up and toned down, but there's no hiding that he has a great ass. JC's attributes, while many, aren't in the curvy-backside department. JC's gotta be wearing smaller pants.

But I'll volunteer to take the measurements! :D

I'm gonna have to go along with you on the great ass/flat ass differential. Also, can I go with you when you take the measurements? I can hold the tape while you examine closely to make sure the measurements are right! ;)

[llamabitchyo.livejournal.com]

Yes! :D

I'll definitely need an assistant.

It is my personal belief that JC has his pants stapled to his body in order to ensure that they stay up when he's not pleased to see someone most of the time. If he wore Lance's, well.
