-
- I hereby repost an article I read almost two years ago, regarding the
- swapping of genders on TV (television). It was originally posted to
- alt.sex. I don't know if the original poster's address is still good
- or if he still wants feedback.
-
- ++++++++++++++++++++
- Awhile back I asked for responses on TV shows, Movies, books and stories that
- contained gender swapping. I got allot of responses, and I THANK all who
- responded. Following is a list of what I received and/or new about myself.
- Some of the stories that I know about contain short descriptions. Others I
- describe something I remember, but not the title or author. This list is
- definitely not 100% accurate, but for those interested it is a starting point.
-
- Mark Phaedrus at about the same time also asked for response in a more general
- arena (transformations in general). He posted his list to rec.arts.sf-lovers.
- This list contains some of the titles listed there but not all. The listing
- is divided into MOVIES, BOOKS, TV SHOWS.
-
- Movies:
- Goodbye Charlie
- Switch
- Cleo/Leo
- (All three of the above use the same theme. They are listed
- in my opinion from sweetest to rauchniest(sp?). The theme
- is Male chauvenist killed and brought back as women)
-
- Deathstalker (one scene, flunky turned into Barbi Benton)
-
- Frankenstein Created Women (Movie had Peter Cushing I believe. It
- had a man being hanged for a crime The doctor took his body
- after death and saved his soul in an electrical field. He then
- waited for a person to die. It turned out to be the woman the
- guy had been with the night before. The person gets back enough
- memory to avenge the people that were responsible for his death.
- The movie was set about the 1800's. No cars or electricity.)
-
- Dr. Jekyll and Miss Hyde. (Dr. is bent on finding the cure for aging
- He develops a serum from dead females. He tests it first on a
- fly. The fly lives at least eight times longer than normal. The
- problem is he put a male fly in jar. But now there are eggs in
- the sealed jar. The Dr. ignores this and experiments on himself.
- He is transformed into a woman. But goes back to a man after awhile
- , but the evil female side tries to be the dominant person. She
- comes out and tries to kill more females for more serum.)
