Somehow, I don't think it's possible for a person to change preferences
just like that ...
The story is not one of those: "Wow!, I'm a girl now?  Let's make
passionate love!" fics.  It procedes slowly over several months, after a
year of full-time Onna-Ranma and even then Ranma only barely puts on a
dress (for some reason other than to humiliate Ryoga), and lets the fool
kiss her.

But still. Ranma would have had to be at least semi-bi for that to
happen at all ... like, it's not years and years and years that went
by of being alone that forced Ranma to find 'love' anywhere he could
get it ... it's only a very short space of time, and suddenly he's
trying to be homosexual... that just isn't Ranma ...

Maybe if Takahashi wrote shoujo manga, and it was said that the
story would be in the style of that shoujo story, but using the
Ranma characters, then that would explain why everyone is so OOC.
But it doesn't ... And, although it's obviously a different world,
Ranma is obviously dead against being homosexual at the start...
so a few months wouldn't change a thing...

Unless in this world Ranma is bi. But if that was the case, then wouldn't
it be written somewhere that Ranma started having strange feelings for
the guy that he tried to get rid of? Or something about Ranma feeling
something for Ryouga? After all, if Ranma was bi in this world, it
would have shown earlier ... But this didn't show anything ... And it was
VERY strange to have Ranma turn up in a dress in the end. It just wasn't
Ranma ... *shrug*

I would *never* go for a girl, even if I had the body of a guy ...
Violent Australian girl hate Trish that much?

<SPLASH>

What WOULD you do, after a few years being stuck as a guy?  Just say no?
(Kids: this is your best option!)

Sex change, or become a shonen. ;p  There's no way I'd go for a girl...
I'd rather find a gay guy, personally. Or have a sex change. Or just go
and hide online and never go out again and continue pretending that I
looked like a girl - there'd be no-one but me who would know the truth,
ne?

Kun-chan...
