A couple has a baby that's another sex from the one they wanted or needed. For whatever reason, they decide that rather than keep trying, they're going to raise the existing child as if the child were the desired gender. Very often applied to young girls being raised as boys because their families needed an heir. Once the kid is a little older, this usually leads to conflict between the child and the parents and/or inner conflict for the child, who has to weigh the desire to be themselves against their desire to please their parents (or keep their inheritance or what have you). In a few cases, though, the child turns out to identify just fine with the gender they were raised to be. When the child's gender identity does match their sex, they may still retain some Wholesome Crossdresser tendencies. Can result in a lot of angst if the child suppresses their desire to be themselves (until it can't be suppressed anymore, like when the child begins to show prominent secondary sexual characteristics, or when the child begins to love someone of another sex), or when the child rebels against the parent's desire and the parent simply can't accept the child for who they are. Compare and contrast Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child and Wanted a Son Instead, and frequently results in Trans Audience Interpretation. Beware of inherent spoilers in some of these examples. |

Romeo × Juliet: Juliet Fiamatta Asto Capulet is self-identified as a girl since birth, but has been presented as a boy to everyone outside her closest confidantes since the other members of her family were murdered when she was just two-year-old; it is common knowledge that the Sole Survivor of the massacre was a girl, so under the disguise of a boy named Odin, Juliet arouses less suspicion. When she learns her true identity as a Capulet on her Dangerous 16th Birthday, she presents as a boy to those outside her closest social circle, but begins wearing dresses in private; when her true gender is publically revealed (which includes a scene in which Juliet is "presented" to the Big Bad while wearing her hair down and a simple dress), she switches her cross-dressing for a tomboyish skirt over slacks look, occasionally complemented by a Tomboyish Ponytail. | |

Tokyo Ghoul: Juuzou Suzuya was raised as a Human Pet by the sadistic ghoul Big Madam, who regularly dressed him up as a girl and molested him. When she began worrying that puberty would ruin his angelic looks, she castrated him with a hammer so that he would "remain a girl" forever. It was only after CCG rescued him that he started living as a man, though his looks and unconventional gender expression continue to confuse others when they first meet him. | |

Umineko: When They Cry: Sayo Yasuda appears to have been raised as a girl, but their original gender is unknown and the narration and dialogues do nothing to help. A large reason that no one can tell due to secondary attributes is that Sayo's body didn't develop correctly due to a severe injury received as a baby. However, the manga heavily implies that Sayo was designated male at birth. | |

One Ripley's Believe It or Not! book had a story about a middle-aged person in China who thought they were biologically male finding out they were biologically female after going to a hospital for a swelling in their abdomen. The confusion was caused by an extremely rare combination of a condition causing them to look male and Turner Syndrome, a genetic disorder causing female bodies to lack traits normally associated with them, such as a menstrual period and the ability to become pregnant. | |

Your Turn to Die: The Convict/Alice Yabusame has a Gender-Blender Name and speaks in a way where he seems to be deliberately affecting a "masculine" tone despite being more used to speaking in a "feminine" one, slipping into it while panicked (and having apparently had it more consistently while younger in a flashback), yet still seems to identify as a man (even quite angrily and defensively) when asked about it. As he explains in the side game Your Time to Shine, his mother raised him as a girl until he confronted her about it. Whether this qualifies as him being transgender or having an Ambiguous Gender Identity is still vague, and the translator has said that it can be interpreted in different ways. | |

Sorceress: Mara and Mira are brought up as boys, a deception which continues until the girls are 20 years old, since having been raised male they truly identify that way at first. Apparently the opposite idea never even occurred to them, or was brought up by any other person until they met Baldar and Erlick. They're even oblivious to the physical differences of the sexes. Even by the end of the film it's not really clear that either of them grasped it, and they may still identify themselves as male. | |

Split Heirs, by Lawrence Watt-Evans and Esther Friesner: A queen gives birth to triplets, two boys and a girl. However, her husband's people have the belief that multiple births stem from infidelity, so she asks her loyal retainer to take away the daughter and youngest son to be raised elsewhere, so the king would never find out about the triplets' birth. Unfortunately, the retainer messes up and take the two boys instead. By the time the queen discovers the mistake, it is too late and she is forced to raise her daughter as an heir to the throne. | |

Seton Academy: Join the Pack! has a variant where the child mistakenly raised their self as the wrong gender rather than the family. Yena grew up mistakenly thinking that they were male because, due to being a hyena, they have a false penis. She somehow completely missed the fact that in this universe, female animals look Little Bit Beastly, while males are Beast Men. Yena's family wasn't trying to raise Yena as a boy and just thought she was a tomboy and didn't realize that she was mistaken about her gender. They actually did refer to Yena as female in front of her, but this only confused her until she found out the truth. | |

Middlesex: Calliope/Cal, although being genetically male, is born with a condition that makes him look externally female. As neither the parents nor family doctor realized it until the child hit puberty, Callie was raised as a girl. Eventually, upon discovering his true nature, he comes to terms with his male identity. Although his parents specifically intended to have a baby girl — their first child was a boy — they obviously didn't intend to force him to fake his gender identity. | |

Saving Hope: The team is working on gender-reassignment surgery for a trans man but have to stop due to a new medical issue that they can't quite figure out. It turns out the patient was born intersex and, while the doctors advised waiting to see which gender the child identified with before performing surgery, the mother decided to make the child female. This is a huge source of guilt later when it turns out that mom made the "wrong" choice when her daughter decides that she'd rather be male. | |

Black Lagoon: Hansel and Gretel were raised to role-play whatever sick scenarios their owner created for them and as the result learned to "switch" gender at will, becoming a dual Creepy Crossdresser. It gets to the point that no one in-universe or out knows the actual genders of the duo. Rock might know, but he might also have been too squicked out by what was happening to really think about it. | |

Dies Irae: Wolfgang Schreiber was born to a prostitute mother who wanted a daughter in order to continue the businesses. As Wolfgang was a boy, however, she ended up castrating him and then raising him under the name of Anna while forcing him into prostitution regardless. This, atop of how abusive both his mother and clients were, didn't exactly do his sanity any favors. | |

Sleepaway Camp: In the notorious ending of the film, the serial killer Angela is revealed to be a boy when the survivors find "her" naked and bloodstained with the severed head of a victim. "Angela", who originally went by Peter, was raised as a girl by an obsessive aunt after his father and sister were killed in an accident. She already has a son and "another one simply would not do", so she forced him to take on his dead sister's name and was implied to be emotionally abusive towards him, causing Peter to lash out during the movie's events. Fortunately, later movies in the series indicated that the aunt received her comeuppance for this in the form of being arrested and imprisoned, even if it didn't amount to much considering the events of the film. | |

.hack//SIGN: Throughout the series, Tsukasa acts like a boy and plays the game using a male avatar. In fact, due to her circumstances in the game, she actually doesn't remember that she's actually a girl. Only near the end does the audience learn that her abusive father apparently raised her as a boy, for unspecified reasons. One flashback scene shows her attempting to shoplift a bra, and her father screaming and beating her over it. By the end of the series she's regained her memory, but doesn't start acting noticeably more feminine. | |

Four Flies on Grey Velvet: The killer is one of most tortured ones to ever appear in a Giallo and a Dario Argento film as she was beaten and mistreated by her step-father for being a girl and for not acting like a boy. Nina kept her sex identity intact, but sadly not her sanity. He only managed to make her hate him to pieces and after he died his memory so much so, that her obsession led her to marry Roberto solely because he looked exactly like him and wanted to finally enact her vengeful fantasies. | |

True Life: "I'm Living As Someone I'm Not" has a woman who is biologically a man. She was raised by her mother as a girl after her mother saw that she was transgender around the age of 13. She did not really see herself as transgender, just as a woman and in fact had lived as a woman so long that she had even perfected techniques so that it looked like she had breasts, and it was impossible to tell that she was biologically a man — she just looked like a skinny tall woman. The story follows her trying to come out of the closet, so to speak. | |

Beasts in Velvet: Viscount Leos von Liebowitz is raised as a boy because his elder sister, Countess-to-be Emmanuelle von Liebowitz, declared she didn't want a sister taking the attention from her. He was repeatedly beaten if he showed any signs of femininity, including an awareness that he had girl parts. As a result, he became a serial killer, targeting whores, while wearing his sister's green velvet cloak and dress. The truth of his gender was only discovered after his death. He actually does take a male lover and threaten them into keeping quiet during the story (and has done so before), but thanks to very precise wording the scene comes off as him covering up his homosexuality on a first read. | |

Genzo: Chiyomaru/Kiyone was actually the daughter of a local lord, Urakami, who was making deals with foreign merchants that weren't approved by all his subjects and he mysteriously died when someone set the ship he was on ablaze. When his chief servant rescued the baby, he decided to raise her as his "son" to hide her from the enemies of the Urakami clan and, when the time would be right again, fake his son's death and reveal that Lord Urakami's daughter miracolously survived. While Princess Kiku's gender wasn't concealed at all, her father brutally raised her like a boy and a warrior in order to defeat the evil bandit Yasuke and the Yamiganemaru, the cursed blade he wields. Apparently Kiku didn't have fond memories, as her own mother died of stress because of her husband's very brutal methods. |

Fruits Basket: Akito Sohma. Due to a complicated sort of reverse Oedipal power struggle, her mother Ren Sohma is to blame for it. The reason why this decision was made is probably the main reason why Akito hates her mother so much. She was always aware of her true gender, but other than that, only some of the old family servants and the oldest Zodiac members—Ayame, Hatori, Shigure and Kureno—know about it until she goes through a Heel–Face Turn and then willingly reveals herself as the girl she is, via showing up in a very feminine kimono instead of the manly yukata robes she usually wears. | |

Chocolate Com Pimenta: There was a woman who suffered from a serious illness and promised to St. Bernadette she'd adopt a girl if she was cured. A maid working for the woman had a son and desired for him a better life so she passed the boy as a girl with no family and claimed the "girl's" name to be Bernadette. Not caring about her foster child more than required to keep good on her promise, she spent years unknowingly raising a boy until the truth came out and Bernadette renamed himself "Bernardo". The woman then started to think everything bad that happened to her was divine punishment for not keeping her promise. | |

Urusei Yatsura: Nagisa Shiowatari's father raised him as a girl just because he wanted to fulfil his promise to have a daughter to marry Fujinami's son (and apparently never thought about how to keep the son from protesting that his "bride" was actually another guy). Nagisa knows he's a boy and sometimes identifies as such but he just prefers to act like a girl as it was how he was raised and is perfectly fine being referred to as a girl, coming off as a Wholesome Crossdresser. | |

Good Luck Girl!: When Rindou Ranmaru shows up, people specifically bring up this trope (the very title of the chapter/episode is "Is This That So-Called Girl-Raised-As-A-Boy Pattern?"). It's actually not quite the same thing — Ranmaru has never been told she is a boy, just forced to live like one. | |

Dororo (2019): Unlike in the manga, Dororo knew she was a girl the entire time, but was still raised as a boy and doesn't want anyone to find out the truth. | |

How I Met Your Mother: Robin Scherbatsky was raised as a boy by her father, until he caught her kissing a boy. Currently, she still has some boyish tendencies and a lingering desire to please her father whenever he appears in her life, and his constant dismissal of her is a Running Gag. | |

Tamir Triad: Tamir (a.k.a. Prince Tobin) was magically transformed into a boy at birth (long story short, the people currently in power required a male heir, but certain groups wanted a return to the country's old matriarchal ways). She didn't know she was a girl until puberty hit and weakened the spell, and had some awkwardness adjusting to being female later. | |

Nisekoi: Seishirou Tsugumi was raised as a boy because Claude, her guardian, couldn't tell that she was a girl. She just sorta went along with it because she didn't particularly care. Somehow, despite her now being a teenager with a very obviously female figure, Claude still thinks she's a boy. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion: Firstborn sons of the Higashikata family are raised in girls' clothing until a certain age due to a superstition to ward off evil spirits. The tradition is actually caused by an unknown hereditary disease that slowly turns them to stone unless someone else is willing to take on the disease for them. Currently this is done with Tsurugi Higashikata, as only family members and close family friends refer to him as a boy. | |
