In the end I came to the exact same conclusions as I did when I first read your ask—That Kakashi would still very much be Kakashi despite his gender, here’s why: 

The factors that make Kakashi the formidable character that he is known to be is his extensive/varied skill-set when it comes to the shinobi arts; his calculated, aloof and/or minimalist attitude. Coupled with his immeasurable loyalty towards that of his teammates and the Hidden Leaf and the many tragedies he had to face; some from as early as the height of his formative years. As we know from formidable Kunōichi like Senju Tsunade, Chiyō of Sunāgakure, Terumi Mei, Uzumaki Kushina, Uzumaki Mitō, Uchiha Mikoto, heck let’s not forget, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki—that skill isn't concomitant to the sole male characters of the Naruto verse.

And if we go so far as to pour over actual history, it tells us that the most accomplished and feared Ninja were in fact female. We know and accept that being a Kunōichi instead of a shinobi wouldn’t deter Kakashi’s loyalty towards that of his students, comrades or his village and I highly doubt that being a Kunōichi would suddenly gift Kakashi with the emotional aptitude to better deal with his self-proclaimed failures. It certainly wouldn’t have made him better understand his father’s Seppuku route, nor Obito/Itachi’s sacrifices. The only thing he might have handled better (though this Mun doubts) is perhaps Rin and Sakura’s feelings/emotions and that’s hardly a big enough cornerstone to shake the foundation of Hatake.

Things that would have changed with a Genderswap no Jutsu: 

The fact that Kakashi might have taken a few extra classes during his academy years, as Kunōichi were often primed for Honey-trapping missions. Said classes would often include flower arrangements, seduction, an advanced look at other cultures within the Elemental Nations and the language of the hand fan known as Akomeogi--Though considering Kakashi’s thirst for knowledge and perfecting the Shinobi arts. Something he inherited from his sensei and his sensei’s sensei and his sensei’s sensei’s sensei…etcetera etcetera; it isn’t a far stretch to say that he might know those things already, neh? ;) 

Apart from chest-binding and tying his/her wayward tuffs into a high-pony tail (the Copy-nin is nothing if not a practical foot-soldier) I honestly can’t imagine any further alterations to Kakashi’s daily routine. Shrug. Though I might revisit this later after some debate. As for Kakashi’s orientation/preferences, double-shrug. He’s always been a super private individual, letting none of those details loose except for his obvious love and enjoyment of Jiraiya-sama’s Icha Icha series (book’s whose content we can’t be sure of accept for the fact that they contain intimate scenarios between that of a man and a woman). Even so, I always got the impression that Kakashi doesn’t hold much value to something like gender, nor does he differentiate between rank or one’s origins/Hidden Village (cough Zabuza flashback). 

He simply cares about people as they are, focusing instead on their actions and skills (as most of those in their profession tend to do, seeing as each given mission/assignment could be their last). Things like a shared history, understanding and mutual respect far outweigh the standard criteria. Other than that I cannot say, Kakashi is an enigma—even to me. ^^’’

Happy, happy Pride Month, however! And thank you for taking the time to send this in! Here’s a lovely piece of art by LC-drawthing to commemorate the occasion!

when daisy said that she had boyfriends back then, and she said, well not quite, because she couldn’t find anyone interesting, /except/ fitz. 

she said, “do you remember when we first met? i do. you were so quite and pasty, and so incredibly smart, handsome. quite a strange feeling isn’t it? never wanting to be without someone. you must have been so annoyed, me following you around all the time.” 

even a long time ago she just couldn’t stay away from fitz, she was following him around, wanting to be close to him always. 

and in her wedding vow, she said “i knew from the moment i saw you, from our first conversation about dielectric polarization, that you’d be in my life for a long time. but i didn’t know you’d be my life, my heart, my home.”

 she didn’t know why she wanted him to be in her life for a long time, not until 10 years later that she recognised this enormous feeling she felt around fitz was love, but she just knew that she wanted him by her side for a long long long long time. 

and then she also said, “i wonder a lot about us, actually.” 

and she didn’t mean it like I’ve been thinking about us these days, when I’m on this alien planet, or when I was in hydra, she’s been thinking about the two of them since the academy days. and even before she could put a word to how she felt about him, she has always imagined them being together, side by side forever and sometimes she thinks about that cottage she came across when she was a little girl, she starts thinking about spending the rest of her life there and somewhere along the line fitz was there with her in that cottage. 

as for fitz’s side, I think fitz truly never thought of her as anything else, and fzzt happened and things shifted for him but he didn’t realize he was in love with her until 1x19 so i think jemma fell first but fitz realized it first

HE NEVER KNEW TOO! LET MEN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR STUPIDITY!!!! 

NEVER OCCURRED TO ////////US///////////

they were both dumb… stop saying fitz knew from the beginning and has been pining since. HE IS STUPID TOO he wanted to date daisy before jemma fell out of the plane in front of his eyes!!! #letmantakeresponsibility2k19 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
