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?

Yes, 'What Makes You Different, Makes You Beautiful'. Which I love to bits (even though the slightl evil!Brian in it makes me sad).

Yes, that fic is wonderful. One of my favorites I have to say.
