Halfway between Lady Looks Like a Dude and Dude Looks Like a Lady is a character who in some way defies the conventions of male and female, and no-one can decide which side, if any, the character actually belongs on. Lots of subterfuge always follows, as everyone follows them around to try and determine their gender once and for all. Expect a Gender-Blender Name, and lots of Pronoun Trouble. Usually, their gender will never be revealed, and no-one will be any the wiser, usually subject to The Un-Reveal. The technical term for this kind of person is "androgyne", from the Greek for "man-woman." Used as an adjective, it's "androgynous". See also Viewer Gender Confusion, something which invoking this trope may cause to persist even if the character does get a Gender Reveal. Also compare Alien Gender Confusion, when a member of one group seems ambiguous by the standards of another. Compare and contrast No Biological Sex, for characters who have no physical sex, and Hermaphrodite, for characters who have more than one. They may or may not look as androgynous as the ones whose gender is simply ambiguous. Can be one of the attractive things that leads to Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite. There's also Purely Aesthetic Gender, for characters whose assigned genders are trivial for gameplay. Compare Crossdresser, who may be attempting to invoke this trope. Do not confuse this with Ambiguous Gender Identity, which is about ambiguously transgender characters. Also do not confuse with characters having non-binary gender; this trope is about unknown gender. A No Recent Examples rule applies to this trope. Examples for episodic works shouldn't be added until end of season for the season introducing the ambiguity (or after 3 months, for episodic works without seasons). This is to allow time for the story to develop the character and resolve ambiguity. There is no waiting time for non-episodic works. |

Mistoffelees from Cats, though he is referred to as a "he", tends to share the choreography of the female cats more than the toms, in several stage versions he isn't matched with anyone at the mating dance, and a line from his signature song implies that "he" has had kittens. In the original T.S. Eliot poem, it's more obvious that Mistoffelees is actually a female cat. | |

Dr. Haru Tanaka on Bones has a deep voice and a gender nonspecific style of dress. They requested that no one use any gendered pronouns to refer to them. Despite that, the team refuse to accept them as agender, most of the team arguing that, despite Dr Tanaka's known lack of gender, they must be male or female. This is established as a choice on Dr Tanaka's part, and both Dr. Brennan and Dr Sweets, naturally, accept it at face value. |

Justice League of America: Yazz was an alien who looked like a blue pterodactyl in a vest. When The Flash asked "Don't you miss the female of your species?" Yazz replied "What if I am the female of my species?" Wally then kept badgering the alien to say whether or not that was a joke, and Yazz found this need to know so intriguing that they decided to leave it ambiguous so as to continue observing the behaviour. | |

Umineko: When They Cry: Lion Ushiromiya has a deliberately ambiguous gender that is probably essential to the mystery itself. All the pronouns are deliberately written as ambiguous, and even the translations kept them perfectly ambiguous. At one point, Willard even wonders if Lion is a "fairly slender boy" or a "serious, no-nonsense girl". Lion refuses to answer him directly, and Bernkastel confirms that she hid Lion's gender on purpose. By extension, Sayo Yasuda, also known as Shannon/Kanon/Beatrice and Lion's Alternate Self, also has an ambiguous gender that is deliberately hidden from the readers. Since Sayo has two female personas (Shannon and Beatrice), one male persona (Kanon) and is stated to have appeared as a man in one game (the Man from 19 Years Ago), their true gender is essentially left to the audience. However, the manga heavily implies that Sayo was designated male at birth but Raised as the Opposite Gender, though even then it's unclear what they identify as. And then there's Zepar and Furfur, twin demons who are stated to be of opposite genders, though it's never revealed which is which. They serve as a Greek Chorus in EP6 and EP7 and they represent Lion and Sayo's Ambiguous Genders, as well as Sayo's gender confusion as a whole. |

Old World of Darkness: Vampire: The Masquerade: Sascha Vykos of Clan Tzimisce is exclusively referred to with the pronoun "it" and is so extensively fleshcrafted that any trace of their original gender, or indeed body, is unidentifiable. A lot of Tzimisce, especially those on the Path Of Metamorphosis modify their bodies in extreme ways in order to distance themselves from their former humanity, but Vykos takes it to a level even other Tzimisce find extreme. As of recently, however, Vykos has taken to referring to themselves as "they", showing a complete divorce from gender while still maintaining a sense of identity (and probably to avoid unfortunate implications towards non-binary individuals). |

In Carmilla the Series LaFontaine lives in a female dorm and the other characters refer to them as a woman, but they're quite butch in appearance and they go by their family name because they loath their much more feminine given name, Susan. Word of God is that Laf is non-binary, but because they aren't out yet to the rest of the characters, the show maintains the ambiguity. | |

Invader Zim (Oni): The comic series features Recap Kid, who gives a (suitably manic and inaccurate) Previously on… at the beginning of most issues. Jhonen Vasquez wrote the character's dialogue for the first issue, but commented "He (or she? I never specified and Aaron Alexovich‘s art keeps it mysterious)..." For what it's worth, Recap Kid has eyelashes, but when asked if this makes them a girl, story artist Megan Lawton responded "Recap Kid is a kid." | |

SCP Foundation Agent Diogenes has been exposed to so many magical artifacts that everyone has lost track of their gender, and Diogenes refuses to tell anyone. Diogenes is comfortable living looking and being androgynous, also the only Agent to regularly pass psychological evaluations. Despite this, Diogenes' psychologist is still romantically interested in Diogenes regardless of Diogenes' gender, which is why Diogenes is called in for so many psychological evaluations. Unfortunately, he Cannot Spit It Out and Diogenes is Oblivious to Love. SCP-1575 ("Venus Statue"). When a male animal drinks water from SCP-1575 and changes into a human being, the result usually has an androgynous appearance and its genitalia are either nonfunctional or completely missing. |

Jamie Carson, codename Heyoka, in the Whateley Universe. Formerly female, s/he is now a intersex due to his/her powers, and looks and dresses very androgynously. This is made worse because Heyoka can gain the powers of spirits, and then physically shifts to look like that spirit, so Jamie has been extremely male (after getting the power of the bear spirit), and extremely female (after getting the power of a female earth spirit). Jamie has been beaten up because of this too, so it's not a good thing. | |

The title character of Krazy Kat had their stated gender change every other strip, something which factored into the very surreal tone of the setting. Herriman described Krazy as "androgynous, but willing to be either". In-strip, Krazy did get called "him" often, but the mannerisms were either way. However, Krazy was female in the 1962-63 animated series. | |

Brox in With Strings Attached seems like a 5-year-old child who dresses to create an impression of indeterminate gender. Turns out the body is male and the soul is female, which explains why the Baravadans use the genderless pronoun “sar� to refer to everyone. Also, the god Ardav. | |

The Order of the Stick: V never states their gender, and most people simply don't use pronouns for them. Some use "he" or "her", but the creator says it's just guesses on their part. V's mate Inkyrius is not referred to as "Mother" or "Father" by their children and is instead referred to as "Parent". The same goes for V and Inkyrius's kids. Like their parents, both their genders remain unknown. They call V "Other Parent". |

Not Always Right: In several stories, the gender of the customer/employee/whatever isn't stated until halfway through. Sometimes, it isn't stated at all. This is usually a result of the site's editors removing such mentions, which can get messy if they miss some. This is nominally to avoid gendered stereotypes being assumed by the reader, especially commentors. | |

SOON: It's never really clear whether Atlas is a man or woman. The text always uses third person pronouns for them. Lampshaded by baby!Atlas, who alternatively calls Atlas "Mummy" or "Daddy". | |

Luna, Exalted's Goddess of the Moon, is typically identified as female, but is also likely to show up as a hermaphrodite or a man. The Lunar Exalted's powers allow them to be female, male, or neutral as they see fit, and at least one canon Lunar no longer identifies with a particular gender. | |

In Inanimate Insanity, Paintbrush is the only contestant whose gender is still a question. Many fans rage that Paintbrush is male or female, however some say Paintbrush has no gender at all. Many who protest they are male refer to when Paintbrush responded "Yeah!" once Nickel asked if they were a guy. However, it was confirmed that they were responding in happiness that they were picked for Team Epic. Many also use the example when Knife mentioned that they could come in handy. It also didn't really help that everybody in II are Animate Inanimate Objects without any Tertiary Sexual Characteristics due to it being an Object Show. However, it's later revealed that they're actually non-binary but never mentioned it out of fear of being rejected. But it seems from season 3 ownwards, they're more comfortable sharing this information, as when Yin-Yang has the idea to form an all-boys alliance, Paintbrush flat out states to him that they're non-binary. |

In Dungeons & Dragons, there are the ormyrr, a non-humanoid race that look like huge worms with big, toad-like heads, and four arms. While they do have genders, it's impossible for members of other races to tell them apart. Most other races use neutral pronouns when referring to them (which doesn't offend them, apparently). | |

Pacific Rim: The kaiju are referred to by neutral pronouns (it/its) in the film itself, and it's probably an exercise in futility to try to apply human gender binaries to extra-dimensional aliens. Nonetheless, Fanon has given most of the major kaiju genders: Otachi is the only one with a confirmed gender, with her being pregnant and Word of God confirming she's female. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that otachi is Japanese slang for a masculine lesbian (Though the intent behind the name was because it's also Japanese for greatsword). Aside from Otachi, Onibaba is also commonly considered female by the fandom, due to her name being Japanese for "demon hag". Generally, most of the kaiju (Trespasser, Knifehead, Leatherback, Scunner, and Raiju) are interpreted as male, though Scunner occasionally is interpreted as female. Yamarashi, while not seen in the film, is referred to as male by Newt, one of the world’s leading kaiju biologists and anatomists. It’s unknown if he was anthropomorphizing the kaiju via giving it human pronouns, though, giving Newt’s status as The Xenophile. It’s also worth noting that Newt refers to Otachi as male at one point, though he also later uses it/its pronouns for her, and this is before he knew she was pregnant. Slattern and Mutavore change genders based on which fan you talk to. Slattern is considered male by some due to the fact that he’s the leader and the largest, while others say she’s female due to her name being an antiquated term for whore. Mutavore’s incredibly strange looks, on the other hand, leave their gender up for individual interpretation, though it should be noted that their character folder on This Very Wiki uses female pronouns for her. Some fans argue that because the kaiju are genetically-engineered clones, and the only one with a confirmed gender is female, then they should all be female. Other fans stick to using it/its or they/them for all the kaiju. |

Vampire: The Masquerade: Sascha Vykos of Clan Tzimisce is exclusively referred to with the pronoun "it" and is so extensively fleshcrafted that any trace of their original gender, or indeed body, is unidentifiable. A lot of Tzimisce, especially those on the Path Of Metamorphosis modify their bodies in extreme ways in order to distance themselves from their former humanity, but Vykos takes it to a level even other Tzimisce find extreme. As of recently, however, Vykos has taken to referring to themselves as "they", showing a complete divorce from gender while still maintaining a sense of identity (and probably to avoid unfortunate implications towards non-binary individuals). | |

In Reflections on the River, the gender of Zheng, the protagonist, isn't specified — the narration uses singular "they", and so does at least one character. The word "witch" probably causes some people to assume female (not necessarily so, especially historically), while on the other side, Zheng can (depending on what path players choose) impersonate a male nobleman without it seeming odd. A questionnaire put out by the developers actually asks what gender players perceived Zheng to be, so the ambiguity is presumably intentional. | |

Simba and Nala's cub at the end of The Lion King. The gender of the cub is never stated however the way they look highly suggests that they're male (only male cubs in the series have whiskers and ear markings). A series of books released after the film came out had the cub as a male named "Kopa". The sequel film, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, however has the cub as a female named "Kiara". The film also noticeably changed the cub's design to look female, suggesting a Gender Flip retcon. In production Kiara (then called "Shani") had a twin brother named "Chaka", which could have handwaved the issue; however, he was scrapped in production. | |

A Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featured a '50s "educational" short called Mr. B Natural, which appeared to have a woman playing the title role. Joel and the 'Bots had a lot of fun riffing over his resulting androgyny, and devoted a whole host-segment sketch to the question of exactly what he was supposed to be. Wikipedia mentions that photo captions in C.G. Conn's magazine refer to the character with he/him pronouns, clearing any confusion. | |

Vidocq intentionally leaves the true sex of the Alchemist vague for most of the film. The character is covered in loose black robes and wears a head-covering mask. The letters written by the Alchemist vary from demonic threats to feminine coyness, and the character's shrill, metallic voice sometimes has a distinctly feminine edge, especially the moans in some battle sequences. All these are Red Herrings. The Alchemist is male. | |

Godzilla: With the exception of Mothra, all of the kaiju are actually this in the original Japanese films. All of them, including Godzilla, are referred to only with neuter pronouns, and giving the monsters explicit genders is almost exclusively the result of American dubs/adaptations. Most tend to be referred to as male, simply by default, although applying biological sex to some of the more alien ones like Hedorah, Destoroyah, or Shin Godzilla is probably a moot point. | |

However Utazás Dezső világába (2. rész) (Journey to Dezső's world [part 2]) reveals they were always half-human and half-pony with its own species existing on another planet. Their biography was only made up so the Magyar Lénykutató Portál (Hungarian Creature Research Portal) would not experiment on their brain. |

The eponymous Angel in Angels in America is like this. While it can be placed as being on the more feminine side of androgynous, it also has multiple penises and notes that angels don't really have sex or gender in the same way that humans do. Prior Walter still awakens confused after his encounter with it, remarking that in his dream he'd had sex with a woman — adding that the Angel "wasn't a regular woman". | |

The Dinobots in Transformers: Age of Extinction are all new versions of the classic characters (except newcomer scorn) and have distinctly male robot modes. Yet, in Transformers: The Last Knight, there are three baby Dinobots as well and an implication that they were sired somehow by Grimlock, Strafe, and Slug. This brings the Dinobots' genders into question, especially considering that in the Bayverse Cybertronians are suggested to have a much more... human-like method of reproduction. | |

The Saturday Night Live character Pat appeared in multiple sketches devoted to this trope, ultimately scoring a feature film, It's Pat!. Pat is also in an on-again/off-again relationship with another ambiguous character, Chris. In one segment, there's Pat's equally-ambiguous parent, Frances, whom Pat refers to by first name, due to the fact that Frances had to act as both mom and dad to Pat after Jean left the family. Fans often point out one of Pat's last sketches, in which Pat tilts her head back slightly when kissed, as evidence that the character is a woman. This was unintentional by the actress, Julia Sweeney, but she decided that Pat was officially female for this reason. |

Cultivating Empathy points it's rather hard to peg Lan Xichen as male when you're seeing him for the first time, since he's a Long-Haired Pretty Boy wearing robes. The confusion only clears when people are looking closer. | |

A majority of the younglings in Star Wars: Galactic Pals are not given any gender notifiers in the show, leaving them ambiguous. As of now, only the Ewok, Rodian, Gamorrean, Tauntaun, Gungan, and Loth-cat are confirmed male, while the Hutt was confirmed female in a description on the DisneyNow app. | |

Tara Gilesbie, the mysterious author of the infamous My Immortal. They claimed to be a teenage girl, had a female username and the fic's protagonist, Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, appears to be a Self-Insert. However, because My Immortal is generally regarded as an intentionally bad Troll Fic, it is equally reasonable to assume that "Tara" is actually a man trying to parody the mindset of a teenage fanfic writer. This possibility has been exploited by imposters who came forward claiming to be "Tara", and indeed, most people who initially bought into their claims never questioned when these imposters turned out to be male, citing the aforementioned anonymity of the internet as a reason to believe them. We may never know for sure though. The actual author eventually came forward, confirming that she’s female. |

The Dark Crystal: SkekEkt the Ornamentalist. Word of God states that while there are no specifically female Skeksis (they're all meant to be an uncomfortable combination of both genders), skekEkt is the most effeminate. Aughra too is meant to be a combination of male and female genders, being a large, burly, mustachioed humanoid with the voice of a bossy old lady and a feminine-sounding name. |

In the bonus features on the DVD for The Incredibles had profiles of all the deceased superheroes, one of which was Macroburst, who was noted for being androgynous. Even the National Supers Agency wasn't sure of the gender, with Macroburst being referred to as "he/her" in the profile. In addition, Rick Dicker also adds that Macroburst's audio file was damaged and deemed unfit for presenting, so we never hear Macroburst speak. The video game, LEGO The Incredibles claimed that Macroburst was male. | |

Eurovision Song Contest: The winner of 2007, Marija Serifovic for Serbia confused many, but seen from her name, she's a woman. The runner up, Ukraine's Verka Serduchka is a drag queen character of comedian Andriy Danylko, who is a man. Serbia's 2010 entry, Milan Stanković, is a man, but from the way he carried himself and dressed for the show, many were also confused. Winner of 2014, Austria's Conchita Wurst, is a drag queen persona used by the male Thomas Neuwirth, who considers himself a woman when in the persona but not otherwise. |

However Utazás Dezső világába (2. rész) (Journey to Dezső's world [part 2]) reveals they were always half-human and half-pony with its own species existing on another planet. Their biography was only made up so the Magyar Lénykutató Portál (Hungarian Creature Research Portal) would not experiment on their brain. | |

Doctor Who: The Judoon all look extremely similar underneath their helmets, and are all voiced by Nicholas Briggs. "Fugitive of the Judoon", however, implies that Judoon Captain Pol-Con-Don might be female when the Thirteenth Doctor offers to talk with them "woman to woman". Also, canonically, all of the Time Lords are said, by the Doctor themself, to be much less interested in what gender anyone might be, or not be. In fact, they fairly often mix up male, female, and nonbinary companions with one another and even fail to notice when their own new regeneration presents a female appearance for the first time. It is said that a fellow Time Lord, The Corsair, would be happy to present as any gender at all, but never felt like themself after a regeneration, until they got their old tattoo done again. |

JaidenAnimations: Though she defaults to male pronouns for him, Jaiden has confirmed that she doesn't really know if her pet bird Ari is male or female, noting that the only way to know for sure for his species is through a blood test (which costs about 25 dollars). Jaiden has noted that she doesn't really care what gender Ari is and loves them no matter what. In her Heartgold/Soulsilver Soullink Nuzlocke video with Alpharad, Jaiden depicts the neighbor character as a Composite Character between Ethan and Lyra, due to her and Alpharad playing as different genders. The resulting design (who Jaiden simply refers to as her neighbor) is very androgynous-looking. |

The Sandman (1989): Desire of the Endless has no fixed sex, and is androgynous, fluctuates between all sexes. Being the anthropomorphic personification of desire, to the reader (and to presumably most people who perceive it) Desire usually shows a mix of traditional gendered traits, such as a suit and tie with feminine facial features and lipstick. | |

Flaky the porcupine from Happy Tree Friends. It was a long-standing debate due to her ambiguous appearance (unlike the other female Tree Friends, she lacks Tertiary Sexual Characteristics). Flaky's voice actress said in an interview that Flaky's female, the official character page lists Flaky's gender as "?", co-creator Ken Navarro loved trolling the fandom by playing up the debate for all it's worth, but the authors eventually settled the debate, as they constantly repeat in interviews that Flaky is indeed a girl, since they admitted they are tired of the trolling already. | |

Parodied in Dino Attack RPG. In a shout-out to Team Fortress 2, there is a character named Pyro based off the pyro class. It was firmly established that the character was a man, but his mysterious nature led to some in-universe debates on his gender. When the mask finally came off, Pyro was apparently revealed to be a woman, but then it turned out that she was actually an imposter standing in for her father, the real agent Pyro. | |

Mega K from the SuperThings webseries is purposefully not given any specific gendered pronouns, leaving their gender up to interpretation for viewers. This was due to the creators wanting a female character, but the executives wanting a male one. Thus, they are made ambiguous, albeit with a higher-pitched voice. Poland is the only country to assign a gender, which chooses male, with the deepest voice. | |

Particularly powerful avatars are even able to switch their physical gender daily, making the question unanswerable. The Freak, godwalker of the Mystic Hermaphrodite, is at the point where neither he nor she is the right word — and indeed no one seems to know which gender it used to be, if either. The novel Godwalker reveals it used to be female. | |

New World of Darkness: Vampire: The Requiem features the Galloi, a Nosferatu bloodline that decides to trade in "the crawling creepies" for "beauty beyond compare." It doesn't quite work out as planned; they become beautiful and utterly androgynous, but they're so beautiful that they can't possibly be anything natural, and thus still unnerve people. On top of that, a lot of them worship Cybele, and prefer to do so the old-fashioned way. A Mage: The Awakening sourcebook (Legacies: The Sublime) describes the Daksha, a Legacy of Mages who seek to ascend to a higher evolutionary stage. That higher form happens to be three-eyed and hermaphroditic, which apparently extends to personality and gender identity. To confuse matters further, they are able to shift to a biologically male or female form at will. Also in Awakening, all but one of the ruling Exarchs are referred to alternately as male or female (the exception being the Father, who embodies the divine patriarch). Given that they sloughed off their physical forms to become Platonic ideals of power and subjugation, whatever gender they identified with as human is likely irrelevant. |

In the creepypasta I Miss Halloween, it's never specified if the narrator is a woman or gay man (though some story details imply the latter). Many Creepypasta narrators are this due to liberal use of The All-Concealing "I". While many times there are story clues or other characters that hint at or confirm their genders, other times they just avoid confirming it one way or another. The narrator of Mr. Widemouth is a noteworthy example, as they tell the story from the first person perspective and none of the other characters, including the titular Mr. Widemouth, refer to them by gendered pronouns or as a boy or girl. | |

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared: Sketchbook has a voice somewhere between a woman and an almost pubescent boy. Word of God hasn't confirmed or denied anything The can of spinach from the fifth video has a similarly androgynous voice. |

The archangel Gabriel in Constantine (2005) dresses as a man, but is played by Tilda Swinton, made to look as androgynous as possible. | |

In Reverse the bijuu don’t actually have any gender, but Kurama tends to default them all as male. It isn’t until he meets the Seven Tails and Two-Tails, that he realizes that some identify as women. | |

Vampire: The Requiem features the Galloi, a Nosferatu bloodline that decides to trade in "the crawling creepies" for "beauty beyond compare." It doesn't quite work out as planned; they become beautiful and utterly androgynous, but they're so beautiful that they can't possibly be anything natural, and thus still unnerve people. On top of that, a lot of them worship Cybele, and prefer to do so the old-fashioned way. | |
