In "[[http://www.deviantart.com/herospirit/art/Transplendor-Preview-934020173 Transplendor]]" by HeroSpirit, a phenomenon causes [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting Involuntary Shapeshifting]] in a large number of populace. The [[AppliedPhlebotinum Applied Phlebotinum]] is [[MagicGenetics Magic Genetics]] that causes many characters to change their bodies, many of whom are gender benders. The main character, Jamie, is a [[SexShifter Sex Shifter]], along with two of his other friends.

* The ''Satyri'' series (and possible future webcomic) by Website/DeviantArt artist Creator/DPRagan is about a series of virgin males who are cursed by a group of [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]], either by being pulled into hell and having their soul infected with a fragment of a succubus' soul, or by using a cursed item (usually bodywash) that causes their [[BodyHorror skin to melt off]], revealing their new, permanent form. The face is the last part to melt off -- if the victim doesn't give in to the horrible uncontrollable itching as their skin bubbles and melts at the edges the face will regenerate their human body over a few weeks of constant torture; the gender bending, however, is permanent. If they don't manage to keep their hands away (and it's not common knowledge to do so, most people don't last more than a few seconds), or if they managed to get pulled into hell for the personal treatment by [[TheVirus another succubus]], they are now permanently stuck as a Satyri -- a vaguely Satyr-like half-Succubus. Satyri traits include a tail, horns, elflike ears, Ungulate hooves (think "[[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Draenei]]"), inhuman (yellow iris on black) eyes, unnaturally colored ''latex'' skin and hair (red, blue, and "bubblegum" being the most common), and an enforced lack of [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl nudity taboo]]. Wings are also common, especially with Satyri who have completely "went native" and turned into outright Succubi.

** In ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' #27, the Earth-2 version of Franchise/{{Superman}} finds himself in the body of his cousin ComicBook/PowerGirl, while the Earth-2 Franchise/{{Batman}} is in the body of his daughter, the Huntress.

* The misogynistic Stunt from ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' gets [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-08-27 briefly turned into a woman]] after [[IdiotBall defiantly taking a bite of an onion]] [[SchmuckBait labeled "pleez no eat" in a land of chaos magic]].

* This is the premise of tale type ATU 514, "The Shift of Sex", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index: the youngest of three princesses goes in her father's stead to serve under another king in [[WholesomeCrossdresser male clothes]], then is sent on quests for marvellous objects. On the last quest, the princess goes to steal a relic from God Himself, Saint Peter, a dev, a sorcerer or what have you, and they curse the heroine with a spell: "if they are male, let them be changed to female; if they are female, let them be changed to male". The heroine thus becomes a hero, and marries the second king's daughter as reward:

** In the Albanian story "[[http://www.albanianliterature.net/folktales/tale_07.html The Girl Who Became a Boy]]", uh... well, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Similar to ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', a girl pretends to be a boy to give her family honor. After adventures and even getting married, she gets cursed into changing gender. This is surprisingly congruent with Albanian culture. The practice is dwindling now, but Albanian girls could swear themselves to celibacy and be considered men socially. This was often done to make sure there would be a "male" head of the household.

*** Endo of ''ComicBook/DeathOfWolverine: The Weapon X Project'' and ''Comicbook/{{Wolverines}}'' is introduced as a Chinese woman named Meifeng when Sharp frees her from the Paradise installation. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that she was actually ''a man'' before Paradise got hold of her, and the boyfriend/fiance she's been desperate to locate after escaping is not only dead, but was actually his ''girlfriend''.]]
