When a woman reigns, or otherwise holds some position of power or importance, she may do so with a masculine title and all of the authority that goes with it, instead of using the title's feminine equivalent. The most common version of this takes the trope name literally (a female monarch titled as "King" instead of "Queen"), but there are many other gender-specific titles that can be used instead, one of the more common ones being "Queen-Regnant". This might be because: The ruler in question is actually a woman disguised as a man. The ruler is openly a woman, but still has a masculine title. This can be for any number of reasons, such as: The woman rules under the outright legal fiction that she is a man. The laws that say a queen can't rule fail to specify that a king must be male. This is usually done as a way to get out of a Succession Crisis. The title is masculine, regardless of who has it. The nation crowning the woman king wants to make it clear that she rules in her own right rather than as consort. The woman is masculine, and the title of "King" denotes masculinity rather than being male. The woman simply prefers the masculine title to the feminine one and insists on using it. Women are not usually allowed to rule, so this one uses the masculine title to be clear about her authority. In a translated work, the original title is gender-neutral but it is represented by a masculine term in translation because of gender assumptions on the part of the translator. This trope is frequently employed as a means of Gender-Concealing Writing. Gender Inversions (i.e. He Is The Queen) are far less common, but they do happen. It could be because the society is a matriarchy, the title refers to the king's spouse, or for some other reason. Note that a female character using a gender-neutral title is not this trope because that's what gender-neutral titles are for. Somewhat surprisingly, this trope only very rarely involves a transgender monarch. This also applies to traditional non-English titles, which are usually gendered even if they aren't obvious to the English speaker, like emir in Arabicnote emira is the female equivalent, or wáng in Mandarin Chinesenote wánghòu (王�, lit. "behind the king") is the wife of a reigning king, or a queen consort; nǚwáng (女王, lit. "female wáng") is a reigning queen. In terms of the ranks of Authority Tropes, the tropes that are equal are God Save Us from the Queen!, The High Queen, The Good King, and President Evil. The next steps down are The Evil Prince, Prince Charming, Prince Charmless, Sheltered Aristocrat, Warrior Prince, The Wise Prince, and all Princess Tropes. The next step up is The Emperor. See also Matriarchy. For other unexpected titles of rulership, see Princesses Rule and Just the First Citizen. Don't Call Me "Sir" can arise when the ruler would prefer a feminine title. |

Wonder Woman (1987): The Sangtee Emperor is a woman in disguise. Within the Empire, women cannot be citizens and female kreel are hidden away and raised to disguise themselves and only allowed into society when they can reliably play the part of a man. Women of any of the conquered or other races in the Empire are enslaved and shipped to the border planets to work in mines instead.note Citizens are born via Uterine Replicator with the joint government and church given control over population, a control which would be lost if natural births were allowed. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Starting partway through the Mage Winds trilogy the High Priest of Vkandis and ruler of the theocracy of Karse is a woman named Solaris, whose title is "Son of the Sun". Having been handpicked very publicly for the position by the Sun God Vkandis Himself seems to have thoroughly overcome the gender barrier that previously existed with regards to the role, but the terminology remains unchanged. | |

Annals of the Western Shore: The first book, Gifts, uses "brantor" for the heads of the Upland families. While most of the brantors seen in the story are men, female brantors like Parn Barre aren't too uncommon. When someone from the more sexist lowlands insists on calling her a "lady-brantor", Orrec and Gry find it ridiculous. | |

Knights in Dragon Age use the honorific "Ser", which you may recognize from a certain other fantasy franchise, only in this case it's used for male and female knights. It can also be used as a formal address equivalent to "sir", as in "Yes, ser". The difference is exactly the same as calling someone sir to be polite and the actual title "Sir" which is used for British knights. Likewise, the next step up on the Fereldan ladder of nobility is "bann", roughly the equivalent of baron, which is also a gender-neutral title. As is the title of Viscount of Kirkwall in Dragon Age II. Also from Dragon Age II is the honorific "serah", which is also gender-neutral, and typically used in the Free Marches. From the same games, the wandering Dalish elf clans are each led by an elf mage with the title "Keeper" and their apprentice or "First". Both Keeper and First are gender-neutral, as the titles can be held by a male or female. Although not explained, one probable reason for this is that the clans do not always have mage children that could become the next Keeper, so they are given an apprentice by another clan, regardless of gender. The Qunari are infamous in Thedas for their strict gender roles, and so most titles in their society are firmly male or female (although members of either biological sex can assume any role, so long as they assume a masculine or feminine identity. it's complicated.), but they do have one significant title — Ariqun, the leader of their religion and priesthood — is a gender-neutral title and the position can be assumed by men and women, since the Qunari believe the wisdom of their religion speaks to all people, regardless of gender. The Tevinter titles of Magister and Archon, which denote a place in the Imperial Senate, can be assumed by men and women. Their Divine, conversely, is always male, in opposition to the Orlesian Divine, who is always female. |

Symbolic application in Misfile. The best of the local street-racers is crowned 'King of the Mountain', and right now, that happens to be Ash, who is (currently) female. When she first won the title, they tried to change it to 'Queen of the Mountain', but due to her recent Gender Bender, she protested. LOUDLY. | |

In Destiny, before the concept of Guardians was solidified, there were the Iron Lords. Despite the name, however, many of them were female- of the ten main Iron Lords that gain focus in the Rise of Iron DLC, four of them are Ladies! Granted, individually they carry gender-appropriate titles, but you'd think that the group as a whole would bear a more neutral name, given there were women in the ranks from the very beginning. | |

Tales of Berseria, the aforementioned prequel, does the same for the Lord of Calamity, a Maou the Demon King figure that creates powerful malevolence by spreading negative emotion. Here, the protagonist, a woman named Velvet Crowe, is revealed to be the first person called by this title. It's handwaved by the name being not a proper title, but a term coined by people who were so afraid of the party, they couldn't even remember how they actually look. | |

In the Destroyermen series, the term "high chief" is used for both males and females, contrary to using "chieftess" with even a character lampshading it. It is averted, however, in the kingdoms of Aryaal and B'mbaado, where the terms "king" and "queen" are used for the respective genders. | |

In Hikari Sentai Maskman, Prince Igam is working with the bad guys in order to restore the Igam Clan to their former glory (and gets into friction with the others because her goals aren't always in line with her boss's.)

From the Fire Emblem series, Lyn and Eirika both start out with the Lord class, with Lyn promoting to Blade Lord and Eirika to Great Lord. This is mostly a case of Gameplay and Story Segregation, however, as Lord is the traditional class for any protagonist of royal ancestry, regardless of what their actual title may be. Eirika is the princess of Renais, while Lyn is the granddaughter and heir to Marquess Cailin, so their subjects call them "Princess Eirika" and "Lady Lyndis(Lyn's full name)." | |

In Angel, Illyria, God-King of the Primordium, is referred to as "she" after her resurrection. This is presumably because the Old Ones lacked any real gender identity, whereas she's now inhabiting a female body, which affects her personality. In her original language what's been translated as God-King was probably a genderless title. | |

In The Girl from the Miracles District, the Midwife of Gods is a man. The amount of people who react to this with confusion almost makes it a Running Gag. Although "midwife", contrary to how it sounds, is actually a gender-netural title that literally means "with the woman"; the "wife" in the word refers to the woman they're ministering to, not the person doing it. A male midwife is not a midhusband. | |

Honor Harrington: Only men of the royal line can be Emperor of the Anderman Empire. At least once, an emperor failed to produce any male heirs and it looked like there would be a dynastic civil war between his various cousins. Then his sister proclaimed herself to be a man and took the throne, basically daring all her male cousins to object if they thought they could make it stick. They universally declined the offer and, by all accounts, she became one of the empire's longest-ruling and most effective leaders since the original Gustav Anderman himself. A borderline case (in that she's only the head of household rather than a monarch) occurs in the short story "Obligated Service". An extended family has a lack of males with the legal head of household being an immature teenager (since on Grayson only men can be the head of a household). One of the female family members is made the official head of the household on the grounds that as a naval officer she is legally a Gentleman. |

In The Interdependency, the ruler of the titular empire is called the gender-neutral title "Emperox" (the "x" is silent). Notably, the first emperox was a woman. The Interdependency's laws of succession are completely egalitarian. In fact, the dying previous Emperox names his bastard daughter Cardenia as his heir after his legitimate son's death instead of any number of legitimate cousins or nephews, and not a single person objects to her being a woman. Averted with the noble titles, which still change based on gender (e.g. Lord/Lady, Count/Countess). | |

In the dub of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's and some translations, Signum, Zafira, and Reinforce refer to Hayate as "Master Hayate" (or "Meister Hayate"). The original Japanese title they use for her is "Aruji", which is gender-neutral. | |

In Dark Souls, the word "Lord" is used to refer to male and female characters without distinction. This is because in the Dark Souls setting Lord is not an aristocratic title but rather a term used to refer to being who have amassed massive amounts of Souls or other form of power. For example, the Witch of Izalith is a Lord because she discovered a Lord Soul in the First Flame, giving her immense strength. The one exception is in Dark Souls III, where the Sable Church of Londor is trying to create a Lord and Lady of Hollows. | |

Ōoku: The Inner Chambers: Because of a Gendercide plague, the Tokugawa-era shoguns and feudal lords of Japan are all female but use masculine names and titles. Audiences with foreigners are elaborately stage-managed to give the appearance that the ruler is male. By the time the story begins, almost everyone has forgotten that men used to be fully half the population and view the masculine regnal names as merely a quirky tradition. In the flashback arc that describes how this came to pass, the first female shogun (Iemitsu the Younger) was disguised as a man to hide that her father had died, with the intention being to restore male rule as soon as she produced a surviving son. When the last major opponent to female-line succession died, Iemitsu appeared at the fealty ceremony in feminine dress, commanded all to look upon her as shogun, and proceeded to rule in her own right until her death. While Iemitsu still expected that male rule would someday be restored, she died without a son and left the throne to one of her daughters, who bore no children and left it to her half-sister... who also bore only daughters. By the time Iemitsu's granddaughter came to the throne, it was clear that the Tokugawas simply could not expect to produce at least one surviving son per generation, and female-line female rule was formalized. | |

Tales Series: In Tales of Zestiria it's initially assumed that the Shepherd, the holy evil-purifying warrior and guide of humanity, is always male, but come "Alisha's Story" DLC, Rose becomes a new Shepherd. And then the game's prequel heavily implies the first Shepherd to popularize the term (and the second Shepherd overall) was the female Eleanor Hume. Tales of Berseria, the aforementioned prequel, does the same for the Lord of Calamity, a Maou the Demon King figure that creates powerful malevolence by spreading negative emotion. Here, the protagonist, a woman named Velvet Crowe, is revealed to be the first person called by this title. It's handwaved by the name being not a proper title, but a term coined by people who were so afraid of the party, they couldn't even remember how they actually look. In Tales of Arise, there's the Five Lords, Renan rulers of Dahnan realms. One of them, Lord Almeidrea, is a woman. It's mentioned that she is one of the first female Lords (if not the first, period), and one of her supporters even mentions that her example may make it easier for women to become Lords in the future. |

Lyrical Nanoha: Various Ancient Belka Kings still keep that title even if they are female. Specific examples are Sankt Kaiser Olivie Sägebrecht and Ixpellia, the king of Galea. And Lord Dearche is always referred as "king" by other people. Nanoha and Fate's Devices call them "Master" and "Sir", respectively. Chrono's device uses the gender-neutral "boss". This was lampshaded as a Running Gag in The Abridged Series: |

A Practical Guide to Evil: Cordelia Hasenbach, ruler of the Principate of Procer, styles herself First Prince. The reason is her native principality, Rhenia, traditionally having a male title (although it has been open to women for centuries), and Cordelia is nothing if not a stickler for tradition. Her whole title is "Her most serene Highness, First Prince Cordelia, Prince of Rhenia and Princess of Salia, Warden of the West and Protector of the Realms of Man". | |

Star Trek: Discovery has the Terran Empire in an alternate universe. The Empire is ruled by a woman who uses the Emperor title. This is in contrast to Hoshi Sato, who preferred "Empress". This seems to be characteristic of Phillipa Georgiou's reign in general, as her policies tend to be more gender-neutral. For example, female officers' uniforms look like uniforms, not miniskirts or some other kind of feminine dress. Captains do get more leeway, though, which explains why Mirror!Sylvia Tilly's uniform has cleavage. Presumably, the following Emperors had significantly more sexist policies. | |

In Discworld, dwarfs have traditionally had mentioning gender to be a faux-pas. Therefore, female dwarfs appear and present as men (or, from their perspective, appear and present as dwarfs, which humans interprete as "men" because armour, battleaxe and beard says "male" to humans in the absence of other evidence). Therefore, it is quite likely that half of the Low Kings have been female, but no one knows. Rhys Rhysson makes this observation in the final speech at the end of Raising Steam, before openly declaring herself the first Low-Queen of the Dwarfs. | |

In Planescape, this is the apparent case with Shemeshka the Marauder, a yugoloth who calls herself King of the Crosstrade, due to being the undisputed master of the largest network of spies, thieves, assassins, and other unsavories in Sigil, and who flies into an infamous rage if the matter of her technically being the Queen of the Crosstrade is brought up. According to the "Uncaged: Faces of Sigil" sourcebook, however, there's another reason why she insists on being called king over queen: she is actually a trans woman, who dresses up like, acts like and basically pretends to be a cisgender woman to the point it's whispered she's given birth to a tiefling daughter, as pretty much everybody is fooled. Though this directly contradicts another sourcebook; in "Faces of Evil: The Fiends," it's stated that all yugoloths are hermaphrodites, regardless of what gender they appear to be. | |

In Knights of the Old Republic, the player character can be played as male or female, dark or light-sided. No matter what gender you choose, your character is referred to as the Dark Lord of the Sith in the dark side ending, not the Dark Lady of the Sith. Ultimately subverted in subsequent material, where Darth Revan became canonically male. A giant Lampshade is hung on this in an early quest in Star Wars: The Old Republic where a Revanite cultist remarks that the older texts aren't all that clear on the matter. Played completely straight in the sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, where the Big Bad, Darth Traya, Lord of Betrayal, is a woman. |

Angel Diary: Dong-Young wants to change the "spirit system". To that end, she decides she needs to be the King of Heaven. She doesn't see any problems with this, because there's no law that actually says a princess or a married woman, for that matter, can't become king. (It helps that her older brothers are a bunch of lazy-asses who wholeheartedly support her idea, since it means none of them will have to take the job.) | |

In Skyrim, the Jarls (pronounced "Yarls" and taken from an old Scandinavian term for "Earl") can be either male or female, and apparently children can inherit the title from their parents regardless of gender. | |

In Xanth, the Queen is defined as the King's spouse. When it was realized how a woman could be King, this also paved the way for its inversion: a female King of Xanth's spouse is a male Queen. | |

In Fallout: New Vegas, the Sink Central Intelligence (which is programmed to act as a valet) addresses the protagonist as "Sir", even when you play a female character. If you mention the obvious issue, it will apologize and explain that it was never programmed to address anyone in any other way, and it's hardcoded so it can't be changed. | |

In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse's Anarchy route, Dagda offers you the chance to revive one of your fallen friends to serve as your eternal partner. They'll be referred to as your goddess, even if whoever you picked is male.

In Eon all Dwarven rulers are referred to as kings by humans and elves. The Dwarvish word for "king" is gender-neutral (in fact, the Dwarf language has no gender markers at all) and more accurately translated to "ruler", but by the time the surrounding cultures figured that one out and learned to judge sexual dimorphism in Dwarves, "king" had already become entrenched as the "correct" translation. | |

Luminous Arc 2 does this on a national scale. Carnava is a "Kingdom", but it's heavily implied that it's female heirs who are first in line for succession, and the manual mentions the nation's head of state has been the Queen for many generations now, long enough that the King in "Kingdom" is actually misleading. | |

Pathfinder has the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, where since the title of king runs strictly on Asskicking Leads to Leadership (you become king by killing a linnorm and bringing back its head), the term "king" is used for both genders. As such, Action Girl White Estrid is king of her city. (She also became king by invoking Defeat Means Friendship on her linnorm rather than in the usual way, but that's another story altogether.) | |

Subverted in The Stormlight Archive when Rysn meets the king of the Reshi, who she thinks is a woman who uses the title of king as part of the Reshi's tendency to Troll outsiders by leading them to make incorrect assumptions. A later book suggests and Word of God confirms the king of the Reshi is a trans man, leaving it unclear if the Reshi really do call their leaders king regardless of gender as they implied, or if he just didn't feel like explaining this. | |

"Prince" is the title for the vampire ruler of a Camarilla city in Vampire: The Masquerade or pretty much any city in Vampire: The Requiem, regardless of the prince's sex. The former explains the title as a tribute to Niccolò Machiavelli, as a Camarilla prince secures his/her position through cunning, charisma, and brutality, not heredity. In Masquerade, the Sabbat use a lot of titles from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, although nothing stops women from holding any specific office. The rough equivalent of a Prince would be an Archbishop. |

Fortunately, few people treat this like it's a bad thing. Though the events of the game result in the Player Character being the first choice to become King, the player can refuse the throne, which will lead to Elsa taking it up in his stead.

In the Mass Effect universe, asari can produce children with an adult of any species or gender, through a process that has at least as much to do with a Vulcan mind-meld as traditional sex. They refer to the one who bears the child as "mother" (or a term that translates to it, at any rate) and the other parent as "father", regardless of said father's gender or physical sex. This causes a little confusion when dealing with humans, who are more apt to call a second female parent "mother," as shown in the third game when Shepard talks to Matriarch Aethyta, an asari who is the former lover of Liara's mother Matriarch Benezia. | |

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, card-carrying members of the Sith Order, regardless of gender, are referred to as "Lord" (or "Dark Lord" for senior members, equivalent to the better known "Darth"). Likewise, in both the Republic and Imperial military, the form of address for any superior is "sir". (In the latter case, this was explained as a headache-saving measure aimed at avoiding any trouble with species with more than two sexes, or which are less sexually dymorphic.) From a Doylist perspective, this is more to avod having to double up on a truly staggering number of voice-over lines. Likewise, the title of "Mandalore" is shown to be this when you have a male Mandalore (Mandalore the Vindicated) at the start of the game, and when he dies offscreen, his title is inherited by Shae Vizla who now calls herself Mandalore the Avenger. Star Wars Legends lore further establishes that Mandalorians don't use a lot of gender signifiers in their language or culture and they don't care much about sexual orientation, either. The only real consideration is whether you can have biological kids or whether you go out and adopt the next generation of warriors. |

In Red River (1995), the country of Arzawa has a temporary occurrence of this. When the latest king died, the crownprince was too young to ascend the throne and the country couldn't be left alone; so the concubine of the deceased king, who is also the mother of the crownprince, is currently residing on the throne until the prince is old enough to be crowned king. | |

In Star Trek up until Voyager female superior officers were called "Sir". Janeway refused that, insisting on being called Captain or "Ma'am". In spite of this, the bridge crew still called her "Sir" periodically. "Mister" Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was the first time this was prominently explained. The idea is simply that due to the egalitarian future that the Federation lives in, titles are supposed to be neutral and not distinguish based on gender. So they just settled on using "sir" as a universally applied title. It also makes a lot of sense when you consider that several Federation species have more than two sexes. Ronald Moore decided this was worthy of exporting to the rebooted Battlestar Galactica (which is considered by many to be what Star Trek: Voyager would have been had Moore's hands not been bound by Executive Meddling.) The principle established in the series is that "sir" became universal in the military, but not in civilian society. Thus Lieutenant Starbuck, President Roslin, Admiral Cain, etc. are addressed as "Sir", although "Ma'am" remains in civilian usage. So President Roslin's aide Billy Keikeya addresses her as "Ma'am" in a civilian context, but Captain Apollo addresses her as "Sir" in the same scene because she's his commander-in-chief. Star Trek: Discovery has the Terran Empire in an alternate universe. The Empire is ruled by a woman who uses the Emperor title. This is in contrast to Hoshi Sato, who preferred "Empress". This seems to be characteristic of Phillipa Georgiou's reign in general, as her policies tend to be more gender-neutral. For example, female officers' uniforms look like uniforms, not miniskirts or some other kind of feminine dress. Captains do get more leeway, though, which explains why Mirror!Sylvia Tilly's uniform has cleavage. Presumably, the following Emperors had significantly more sexist policies. |

Ixia and Sitia: The Commander is either a woman disguised as a man or a transgender man note The narrative is vague on whether the Commander is simply a gender nonconforming woman or a transgender man, as the Commander uses male pronouns but presents as a woman in their mental space. In Poison Study, the villain attempts to expose the Commander's gender identity, but the Commander plays it off as such a ridiculous story that they are not believed. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: The defictionalized version of The Magic Book of Spells reveals that the matriarchal kingdom of Mewni briefly had a single male ruler, as a result of him being the only offspring of the previous Queen (up until the birth of his younger sister Solaria). Thus, Jushtin the Uncalculated was also known as "the Boy Queen". Miss Heinous unmasks "Princess Turdina" (Marco's princess alter ego) as a boy in order to undermine his role as an Icon of Rebellion. The princesses (being a group of nonconformists anyway) don't care and immediately christen him "Marco, Boy Princess". |

A few different cases in Tyranny: The actual gender of Kyros is unknown, but they still bear the title of "Overlord" either way. The Bronze Brotherhood mercenary company is an odd case. While both men and women can join, they all bear the title "Brother". This is because they operate in the Tiers, where only women can hold land outside of extraordinary circumstances. By living under the legal fiction of being men, female Brothers can ensure those who hire them that they won't take the lands they're hired to take or protect for themselves. |

Song of the Lioness: The Lady Knight Alanna is referred to as "Sir Alanna". This is because she masqueraded as a boy for literally the entirety of her knight training because girls weren't allowed to become knights, and as a result was knighted as "Sir Alan" and only revealed to be female afterwards. As a result, she does not carry a shield with a distaff (feminine) border. Keladry of Mindelan, on the other hand, is "Lady Knight Keladry" because she trained openly as a female, and has a distaff shield. (Word of God says that Alanna retained the "sir" to make a point and that Kel uses "Lady" to make a different point.) | |

In BattleTech, the ruler of The Federated Suns is always called First Prince, regardless of their gender. The same was true for the Archon Prince of the Federated Commonwealth, though Katherine Steiner-Davion averted this by calling herself Archon Princess Katherine, though everyone involved pointed out this was technically incorrect. | |

In The Rook, Myfanwy's notes on the history of the Checquy organization mention an example of this due to the habit of naming the main leaders of the Checquy "Lord" and "Lady". At one point the only valid candidate for the title of "Lady" was a six-foot-tall mountain of a man with a thick red beard who stubbornly held onto his position even when he had the chance to become the new Lord instead, remaining the Lady until his death. | |

In SaGa Frontier, the human girl Asellus is made the "Prince" of Facinaturu, the Land of the Mystics. This is probably because a) there, "princess" is a term for Lord Orlouge's mistresses; and b) because the Mystics don't seem to care much about gender (this part of the game contains a lot of gay subtext). | |

"Mister" Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was the first time this was prominently explained. The idea is simply that due to the egalitarian future that the Federation lives in, titles are supposed to be neutral and not distinguish based on gender. So they just settled on using "sir" as a universally applied title. It also makes a lot of sense when you consider that several Federation species have more than two sexes. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The Daedric Princes of the series are an unusual example. They are pure spirits who can take any physical form they choose, with some changing forms in different appearances while others stick to a strictly male or female (or in the case of Hermaeus Mora, eldritch) appearance. Even the female-identifying Daedra are still referred to as "Princes", though historically the term "prince" could be applied to rulers, regardless of sex.note It comes from princeps, a Latin word meaning "first," which fits since the Daedric Princes are the most powerful of the Daedra. In Skyrim, the Jarls (pronounced "Yarls" and taken from an old Scandinavian term for "Earl") can be either male or female, and apparently children can inherit the title from their parents regardless of gender. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, a certain key prophecy refers to The Prince That Was Promised, but most of the signs are pointing very clearly at a female character, Daenerys Targaryen. The fandom guessed that the term translated as "Prince" was gender-neutral in Old Valyrian, the original language of the prophecy. This was proven exactly correct in A Feast For Crows: all Valyrian nouns are gender-neutral. If Dany's late brother Rhaegar, who thought the prophecy referred either to him or to his son, had taken that into consideration, it might have spared the kingdoms some grief in the Backstory. | |

In One Piece, the Queen of Kamabakka Kingdom, Emporio Ivankov is male. Most of the time. His Devil Fruit Powers enables him to control hormones, so he can turn into a she at will — but still spends most of his time as a cross-dressing guy. Of course, it's a deliberate joke in this case — Kamabakka Kingdom apparently consists entirely of cross-dressing men, making Ivankov a DRAG-Queen. | |

In A Brief History of Equestria this happens to Princess Platinum — as the only child of King Aurum in the patriarchal Kingdom of Unicorns, theoretically her father's death would have started a civil war among the members of the Decadent Court. To prevent this, Aurum exploited the Exact Words of the law, pointing out that "says that the queen cannot rule. Doesn’t say the King cannot be a mare," allowing Platinum to take the throne under the title of King. | |

Final Fantasy: In Final Fantasy VIII, the Card Club uses card terminology for all its members. The club's leader, Quistis, is the female "King". She actually won the title from the Garden's doctor, who is also female. Final Fantasy XIV: The Shadowbringers zone Il Mheg, the fae "Kingdom of Rainbows," is ruled by a King, but that King is always known by the traditionally feminine regnal name Titania. Further, three of the four groups within Don Mheg, the pixies, fuath, and nu mou, do not have gender and exclusively use they/their pronouns. Only the amaro use gendered pronouns, as they are sapient animals, not fae proper. Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Grimoire of the Rift features the Optional Bosses, the Five Kings of Cinquleur, the Red, the Blue, the Green, the Black, and the White, each focusing on that type of Color-Coded Wizardry. They are all called "kings", even though the Red and the Green are part of the female One-Gender Race of Viera. |

In Tales of Arise, there's the Five Lords, Renan rulers of Dahnan realms. One of them, Lord Almeidrea, is a woman. It's mentioned that she is one of the first female Lords (if not the first, period), and one of her supporters even mentions that her example may make it easier for women to become Lords in the future. | |

In South Park: The Stick of Truth, Kenny plays as "Princess Kenny." See below in "Western Animation." While the Player Character could only be a boy in The Stick of Truth, South Park: The Fractured but Whole allows players to choose the New Kid's gender, which leads to a Retcon that is completely Played for Laughs if you choose to make the New Kid female. Basically everyone believes that The New Kid is a boy no matter how feminine she dresses or acts (except Wendy, who claims that she knew that the New Kid was a girl ever since the first game but didn't tell anyone out of respect for what she believes is her wanting to remain mysterious), meaning that esentially King Douchebag was female all along, but no one ever noticed. |

Temeraire: The Tswana society resolves around ancestor worship, and they practice telling stories of deceased loved ones to dragon eggs so that the dragons are born as reincarnations of great leaders. This has led to their entire empire being led by a young female dragon who is the "reincarnation" of their last king. In a later book (Crucible of Gold), we discover that the Inca Empire's human population has been so badly ravaged by European diseases that a woman currently holds the position of Sapa Inca due to attrition. |

And yes, she does refer to herself as "Emperor", not the female variant Empress. | |

The title Mayor or (for the larger and older Cities, Lord Mayor) applies to the holder of the office, regardless of gender. Mayoress or Lady Mayoress (if it's a Lord Mayor) applies to the designated female consort of the Mayor (not always a wife — a Mayor can appoint any family member or friend to do this role). Calling a female Mayor "Mayoress" is just plain wrong.note No matter how much Henry the clerk complains about being married to the "Lady Mayoress" of his borough. Male consorts appointed for the year are usually called "Consort". | |

In Beast Wars, Inferno called Megatron his Queen, because Inferno was based on a fire ant (due to a glitch in his programming, the ant's instinct is dominant, so he truly believes that he is an ant). Megatron found this rather annoying but grudgingly accepted it, as Inferno was one of his most powerful and reliable followers. Megatron eventually convinced Inferno to refer to him as The Royalty, though with occasional slip-ups on Inferno's part. | |

On Codename: Kids Next Door, the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door for most of the series happens to be a girl — Rachel, Number 362 — but all of her subordinates always address her as "sir," and nobody (including Rachel) ever calls attention to this, showing this is perfectly normal for their organization. | |

Sands of Destruction: The Planner is written with kanji that would translate to "Princess of Guidance". However, Vreveil states that the Planner need not be a woman or even the same person throughout each incarnation of the world; someone just has to make a wish about the way the world will be, and literally anyone who's left alive after he's through purging the world could take on the role. Kyrie is actually the only one to make any sort of wish, and it isn't to create a new world at all; we aren't told if he's given yet another title, or what it may be. | |

In Brimstone Valley Mall, Mammon plays with this. He's one of the Seven Princes of Hell but is referred to by she/her and he/him pronouns interchangeably by everyone, implying she's genderfluid. She's the only one of the Princes to turn up in the first season, so it's unclear if "Prince" is a gender-neutral title in Hell, or if he just opts to use a masculine title. | |

The Legend of Frenchie King: The titular character is a woman named Louise, who's continuing her father's legacy; as a result, everyone thinks she's a man. However, she is not a literal king, but an outlaw in the Wild West who happens to be celebrated by some as the King of Thieves because of how successful she is. At most, the only thing she rules over is her gang, whose members can be counted on one hand. | |

Played with in South Park: during the Black Friday three-parter, Kenny McCormick's character is a girl, though of course everyone knows he's really a boy. He insists on being called a "princess", but Cartman, not wanting to share authority with him, only allows him to take the title "Lady McCormick". This is at least part of the reason that he betrays the X-Box players for the PS4 supporters. See above under "Video Games". | |

Likewise, in The Legend of Korra, Kuvira names herself "Earth Emperor". Earlier in the series, there was an Earth Queen who took over from her father, the Earth King from the first series, but Kuvira has higher ambitions than that and likely wants to avoid any association with the previous ruler, so her official title is "Great Uniter", the equivalent of Supreme Leader. | |

In Tales of Zestiria it's initially assumed that the Shepherd, the holy evil-purifying warrior and guide of humanity, is always male, but come "Alisha's Story" DLC, Rose becomes a new Shepherd. And then the game's prequel heavily implies the first Shepherd to popularize the term (and the second Shepherd overall) was the female Eleanor Hume. | |

Likewise, the title of "Mandalore" is shown to be this when you have a male Mandalore (Mandalore the Vindicated) at the start of the game, and when he dies offscreen, his title is inherited by Shae Vizla who now calls herself Mandalore the Avenger. Star Wars Legends lore further establishes that Mandalorians don't use a lot of gender signifiers in their language or culture and they don't care much about sexual orientation, either. The only real consideration is whether you can have biological kids or whether you go out and adopt the next generation of warriors. | |

In the Japanese version of Fire Emblem: Awakening, Emmeryn's formal title is "Holy King"; outside of its use, everyone just calls her the queen. The English version removes any gender confusion by calling the ruler of Ylisse the "Exalt", a more or less gender-neutral term.

In The Left Hand of Darkness, the inhabitants of the planet Winter are gender-neutral most of the time but assume a male or female sex once a month. You can be either, and what you were last time has no effect on this time. Titles are either neutral or male; author Ursula K. Le Guin said one of the reasons for that was she wanted to write the sentence "The King was pregnant." | |

Sword Art Online: Alice refers to Fanatio, vice-commander of the Integrity Knights as "Sir Fanatio" in the Crunchyroll subs (she uses the extremely respectful gender-neutral honorific "-dono" in the original Japanese). Considering that Fanatio uses a full-face helmet to hide the fact that she's a woman, this would be an example of a woman disguising herself as a man, but it's revealed in Volume 15 that Alice has long been aware of Fanatio's gender. | |

The three levels of the Creature Court are the courtesi, the Lords and the Kings. Courtesi are either "courteso" (masculine) or "courtesa" (feminine), while "Lord" is used for both men and women.

Two women hold the rank in the series: Kirien (whose house did the research and found the title to be unisex) and Jame of Knorth, the series protagonist (whose brother got the idea from Kirien). | |

In the Dragonlance saga, Dragon Highlord Kitiara is referred to by the masculine title because Dragon Highlady would have just sounded silly. Word of God has it that if the subject had ever come up in the story, Kitiara would have laughed and said she certainly wasn't a lady. However, Kitiara does have some explicitly feminine nicknames (she is known as both the Blue Lady and the Dark Lady), in person she is always addressed by her followers as "Lord Kitiara" or "My Lord". | |

Ladylord: This is the whole basis of the book. The ruling lord has only daughters, and so names one of them his "son". The title of the book is a reference to the odd style some people use due to her unique situation. Her political maleness doesn't extend to actually being considered male in other senses, however — she has a husband rather than a wife, for example. | |

In YuYu Hakusho, Mukuro is one of the Three Kings, qualifying both as having a male title while being openly a woman and the disguise: she doesn't hide she's a woman, it's just that only her most trusted warriors and the other two Kings have ever seen her face, that she keeps hidden under a mummy-like hood when in public to create an aura of mystery and fear around herself. Hence everyone calling her and her rivals the Three Kings... And the youkai being shocked when she finally ditched the disguise in public. | |
