Gender-bending (sex changing through supernatural methods) characters who turn out to like their new gender and come out as transgender. Some are headcanons- those are indicated by question marks.

Gender-bending characters who are (probably) not transgender. Meaning they gender-bend (their sex changes through supernatural means- body swaps included) but don't like their new bodies. Which is still relatable to the trans experience in terms of gender dysphoria.
