A Gender Bender trope, where someone who would have made a good match if not for gender suddenly is a good match, and some version of a Romance Arc (and in the more Egregious cases, the relationship) begins immediately. Often, there hadn't previously been one iota of serious thought about a romantic relationship between the two people prior to the gender shift. When--as is sometimes the case--this involves the gender-switched person changing their sexual preferences, many people find this plot extremely squicky. Examples of Jumping the Gender Barrier include:

There are legions of amateur stories with some version of this plot in appropriate corners of the Internet, and a decent portion of genderbending Fanfic will use it as well. For obvious reasons, depends on the presence of the First Law of Gender Bending and the absence of Everyone Is Bi. May involve a If It's You It's Okay rationalization. The opposite of Dropped a Bridget On Him. Contrast Settled for Gay, in which partnership happens without a change in orientation, and Incompatible Orientation.
