If a writer wrote a Robin genderswitch story set during the just-pre-WG era, it could be a beautiful thing:
Steph: I bet I'm the first really hot boy in history with a caesarian scar. Tim: This is going to do wonders for my relationship with my father. "Don't worry, Dad." "My life will be normal now, Dad." "Oh, Dad, can you drive me to the store for a training bra?" Steph: You're too old for a training bra, sweetie.
Meanwhile...
Nightwing: *gets used to new centre of balance* Birds: *stare raptly at graysoncam monitor* Helena: I'm choosing not to examine what it says about me that the female Dick looks like she could be my sister. Babs: It was always 'keep it in the family' with you two anyway. Quit blocking my line of sight.
Meanwhile meanwhile...
Red Hood: I don't know how, I don't know why, but I'm blaming Bruce anyway.
