I loved this so much! Both porn and meta, and maybe even loved meta a little bit more. But you did go into the whole 'is sexual submission sexist', and, well, that's one of those things I get flaily and babble about a lot.

And I loved Uhura in this. Uhura is always awesome, but here she was even more so.

Also, I've just realised that I apparently mostly read Kirk/Spock when one of them has their gender switched. Huh. :D

Thanks!

I've never actually been into genderswitch before ST. Dunno why not, or what it was about ST that makes me go "we need this!" Maybe it's the extreme lack of girls?

One thing I love about Uhura is she maintains utter strength and dignity when she is always the odd--uh--man out in this whole big men's club. Of course the reason for that on TOS was they were maintaining there was this equality in the future when the 60s hadn't yet achieved it. She pretty much gave off this whole aura of noli me tangere badassitude.

Awesome fic. I love good porn... and good porn that makes you think? Damn, that's hot.

Dunno why not, or what it was about ST that makes me go "we need this!" Maybe it's the extreme lack of girls?

Maybe because its canon for TOS - Turnabout Intruder. ST: always going boldly. Gotta love it. *wink*

And yeah, Uhura ftw.

Thanks so so much!

Well, Turnabout is more bodyswitch, isn't it, which I've always loved (whether it's m to m, f to m, f to f bodyswitch). I guess I think about genderswitch differently--not sure why!

I LOVE UR ICON. Yeah, that scene. The guy who wrote it says he totally did it on purpose.

Thanks again!

You're welcome. :) Thanks for sharing.

True - they are different. But I love them both and I've always viewed them as very similar. Even if it's not your body that's switched gender, jumping into any body of the opposite gender probably produces the same reactions: insecurities, confusion, curiosty, excitement - whatever.

Haha, Thanks! I just love the in-you-face-slashiness of that scene. :) There are just so many examples of K/S... *grins at appropriate icon*

I've been fascinated by genderswitch before (it is an awesome meta subject, after all, and I really think that if someone is writing genderswitch there's no helping some level of meta, even if all they want to write is porn - we see how the circumstances change, how the language changes, how differently characters behave and how they stay the same), but I've never been that much into it, before new Trek. And I agree, it could be because we had so few women on screen, but then again, most of sci-fi has that and I do not have this extreme need to genderbend them
