Yeah because characters that were ALWAYS female from the source material in Japanese media can easily be badass (PLENTY in FMA Brotherhood, Major from Ghost in the Shell, Roberta from Black Lagoon etc)

However switching genders in adaptations, I can't think of a time it HASN'T been a symptom of a bigger ideology over writing issue.
