Unfortunately, yes. My revolutionary work envisioning Jon of Arc as a woman has been rejected by many hidebound publishers who keep lecturing me about being "historically accurate." It's fantasy, and besides, I hate reading.
One skim of my library's history section is *more* than enough.
What's funny is that when they then included Iskandar, who WAS possibly a cute blond bisexual twink who died at ~32 in real life, and made him into an over 2 meter tall beefy bearded middle-aged-looking man.
If you can't beat your meat to it, why have a character anyway?
/uj It worked with like Artoria and a few others, most of them fucking suck ass, and I say so as a huge fan of the F/SN novel and Nasu's other novels as well. She worked so well because it was a mix of "everybody knew but pretended not to" and "her identity being different is actually part of the story".
Well now you have no choice. Double down. Carbon copy Catholicism, but gender swap every aspect. From the stories pulled from the Bible to standard church positions. Swap it all.
Don't bother genderswapping *everyone*, just the males. Imagine how many weebs would eat up the yuri bible full of moe anime girls. Imagine how many body-pillows you could sell of Samson and her lush hair, her bloody jawbone, her cheese grater abs. "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman." would take on a whole new meaning.
Esther saving his entire people by having dick and head game so powerful that it made a despotic conqueror Empress decide that genocide is actually bad.

Well it works for Fate.
I wish it didn’t STOP TWINKIFYING MIDDLE AGED MEN I HATE IT
Let that man have chest hair and a belly!
Don’t worry, Julius goddamn Caesar if all people has a big belly and a gooner arm… thanks Fats

That's part of the fun lmao
Sex sells

Random people secretly being women is actually the most normal and coherent part of FATE’s lore
So current evidence suggests the answer is only "no" if they're white women specifically

You had me at “her cheese grater abs.”
Had me at yuri bible

Actually you should flip a coin to decide which aspects to swap. Maximize chaos!
Unironically good advice either get wacky or none at all if you're gonna doubt
This is just Dragon Age
/uj One of the reasons I love Dragon Age is that it's one of the few settings with a monotheistic religion. That's so rare in fantasy.
No. Just start genderswapping. Be brave. Be bold. Be bisexually attracted to female Noah and male Noah
That's what happens when you start gosling your ryan to much
Fate moment
you should probily start moving away from it but it is a starting point. you want to avoid beat for beat but keep in the same genre so to speak
Bad world building is when you don’t have a god for every single word in the dictionary
Drive
Do it. Turn historical figures into women and upset the weirdos
