Sexual attraction is a funny thing, and sometimes if a character physically appears to be the right gender to appeal to their sexual orientation, then they'll become attracted to them, regardless of what that character's actual gender might be. Usually, said character's true gender is being kept secret purposefully, and they are a male Disguised in Drag or a female disguised as a male (sometimes even using a realistic mask or a Full-Body Disguise), but, whether the misunderstanding was intentional or not, due to Rule of Drama, they will find out, and it will be awkward, hilarious and possibly traumatizing for all involved. This works equally well with straight people as it does gay ones.note Asexuals — who wouldn't be interested either way — and bisexuals and pansexuals — who wouldn't mind either way — are usually immune to this trope, though. A straight female might be shocked to realize that hot guy she's been daydreaming about was "actually" a woman. Her male Gay Best Friend, who was also daydreaming about the same guy (who is "really" a girl) will probably feel similarly. Almost always there is shock upon The Reveal, probably disappointment and maybe even disgust on the part of the character who was feeling the attraction, but usually the two characters can reconcile by the end and become friends. Other times it might not bother them, or after a period of consideration, they'll decide If It's You, It's Okay. This is both a reveal trope and a character reaction trope, when what initially appears to be compatible gender attraction is later revealed to actually be incompatible gender attraction (Example: Straight boy likes a girl, girl turns out to be a boy). It is a sister trope to the related Sweet on Polly Oliver, which refers to when what initially appears to be inexplicable incompatible gender attraction is later revealed to actually be compatible gender attraction (Example: Straight boy likes a boy, boy turns out to be a girl), although since the unsettling part is averted, this is usually a subversion (usually). It's also worth noting that, in many examples of this trope, it's not the gender (i.e., gender identity) that's a shocker, but the genitals (granted, examples portraying crossdressers vastly outnumber any portraying those who are transgender). One common example is that a straight man is attracted to a woman, but finds out that she's transgender and has a penis. In Real Life, "trans panic" can have violent or even lethal consequences, as numerous trans people—especially trans women, and especially especially trans women from marginalized ethnicities (for example, Black people in The United States)—have been physically or sexually assaulted, sometimes even murdered, when their genitals are revealed. With the growing LGBT Civil Rights movement catching on in the Turn of the Millennium and The New '10s, this is starting to lean more towards a Discredited Trope, though it still occasionally pops up. Compare with Shapeshifting Squick, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Lady Looks Like a Dude, Bifauxnen, Gender-Blender Name, Samus Is a Girl, Female Monster Surprise, Incompatible Orientation, and Trans Relationship Troubles. Often accompanied by Attractive Bent-Gender. Contrast Jumping the Gender Barrier, Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person, and She's a Man in Japan. A subtrope of Gender Reveal. Formerly called "Dropped A Bridget On Him", a play on the Guilty Gear character (shown above) and the Dropped a Bridge on Him trope; references back to this title are still scattered around the site. Spoilered pronouns are by definition self-fulfilling, so don't bother doing that. As with all Sexual Harassment and Rape Tropes, No Real Life Examples, Please! |

In Kingdom Hearts II, Sora finds out that "Ping" is female by accidentally getting a glimpse of her breasts while both are washing up at the lake. His reaction to The Reveal is priceless, especially if you compare the scene with the one from the game, where he and Donald find out via Goofy. | |

Natsume Takashi from Natsume's Book of Friends tends to get mistaken for his grandmother, Reiko, by Youkai on an almost constant basis. One of these Youkai is Hinoe, who really liked Reiko and Does Not Like Men. She gets as far as groping Natsume's non-existent breasts before she learns her mistake. | |

Tales from the Crypt: In the episode "The Assassin", a ditzy housewife is imprisoned in her home by three CIA agents looking for her husband, whom they believe is a renegade government assassin. The housewife inadvertently kills the two male agents and grapples with the female one, who spitefully reveals she was lovers with the titular assassin. She's beyond shocked when the housewife gleefully reveals she herself is the assassin, following a sex change (and still able to use her masculine voice). | |

Hivefled: A literal unsettling gender, as opposed to sex, reveal; one of the many sources of Gamzee's current trauma is that his bloodlink's offhanded comments about Gamzee being feminine got him seriously thinking about his gender identity for the first time in his life and realising that he actually is genderqueer, though he doesn't currently know there's a word for it. | |

Unsurprisingly, the Camwhore class in Forum Warz has this as a standard attack, if one not often seen. (It's down the line of a skill chain which many players respec out of before obtaining it.) Note that the gender, age and race of every player character is defined as "whatever happens to be squickiest at this instant". The same applies to any NPCs who use multiple or artificial personas, eliminating any potential shock value out of gender. (Especially as very few players would be attracted to most of the NPCs.) | |

Control Z: Most of the school, including her boyfriend, are appalled when Isabela's revealed to be transgender. He dumps her, most of the girls shun Isabela, she's labeled male, questioned about her genitals and generally mocked or bullied. However, they are shown to be clearly in the wrong, and it's why Isabela wasn't open about her identity with them. | |

She's the Man: Twice, with Sebastian and Viola. When Sebastian is mistaken for being Viola impersonating him, he gladly drops his pants and exposes his genitals to the soccer teams, coaches and everyone watching to prove he is not lying. Malcolm is visibly traumatized by this. Later, when Viola confesses everything to the teams as well as her love for Duke, she ditches her wig and flashes her breasts when they're still in disbelief. Everyone's pretty shocked by the revelation at first, biut they get over it quickly. | |

Played straight in the Japanese rock 'n' roll zombie epic Wild Zero, when the male lead finds out that the girl he's been chasing all movie is actually a guy in drag... then wondrously averted when the god of rock and roll himself tells the guy not to be such a wuss, as love knows no gender. One of the best film lines ever: | |

Early in Mercenaries from Hong Kong after the titular team of mercs got together for the first time in years, meeting in a nightclub, the youngest of the bunch - Curry, the happy-go-lucky funnyman of the group - tries flirting with a beautiful Gorgeous Gaijin lady, which he easily hooks up with. Later on Curry is boasting on his flirting exploits to another one of the mercs in a bathroom when suddenly, the lady he's flirting with enters... and walks to a nearby men's urinal, taking a piss while standing up much to Curry's horror. | |

The Digimon series has played with Renamon's gender (or lack thereof) for some time, but Digimon World Data Squad amped it up by giving us a male Renamon with a painfully obvious female voice (in fact, it was the same voice actress who played Renamon in Tamers). Let's ignore the Unfortunate Implications of a male Sakuyamon. The German fans must've been laughing hard at that one. | |

Disgaea: This happens to Tink in Disgaea 2 when he tries to hit on a Cute Monster Girl after joining your group. Of course, nobody bothered to tell him that the aforementioned "girl" is, in fact, Bridget's Lawyer-Friendly Cameo... Also happens in Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?. The cute little Incubus is revealed in the hidden Monsterpedia section that "she's" a he. The Alraune trap is brought back again in Disgaea 4 when the Cute Monster Girl in question is revealed as a guy in front of "her" adoring fans. Said fans decide that they "don't mind a little trap action." |

Ranma ½: This happens to Akane at the very beginning of the series. She wasn't exactly thrilled to find out that the shy and awkward girl she had just made friends with was actually a guy. Zigzagged when it comes to guys lusting over Ranma's female form. Ranma turning back into a guy, or revealing he's actually a guy, often does disgust and repulse them — a late manga story even has Ranma try to get away from a genuinely nice guy who has fallen for his girl form without revealing the truth because he feels the guy doesn't deserve to have his romanticized image of the female Ranma destroyed so brutally (of course, he peeks and is left disgusted). But many of Ranma's male classmates continue to ogle Ranma's female form even after learning the truth, though admittedly they never do anything other than ogle. Nabiki Tendo is even shown in a late manga story to maintain a network for distributing ecchi (borderline softcore pornographic) photos for Ranma's girlform, though the inference is that they mostly go to buyers unaware of Ranma's Gender Bender nature. This happens to Ranma too, when he tries to romance Tsubasa to get "her" to give up on Ukyô and his own female side. His reaction to finding out Tsubasa is a male Master of Disguise (which includes crossdressing as a girl) is not pretty. Everyone believes Konatsu to be the legendary Genius Kunôichi (female ninja), and have even braced themselves for her coming out of the closet to confess undying love for Ukyô. Then a stray bomb goes off, blows apart Konatsu's outfit, and reveals "she" is a very feminine-looking "he". Ukyô is just as stunned as everyone. |

Lobo: Even DC Comics' woman-lovin', homicidal, Anti-Hero Lobo has had this happen to him. In "Lobo's Big Babe Special", he is hired as a bodyguard for an intergalactic beauty pageant. But each of the ladies in the pageant has one nasty surprise or another (even the ones he knew!) and were subsequently eliminated. Each of them, that is, except the extremely busty T.V., the one Lobo has been drooling over the entire time. Once T.V. was crowned the winner, the horny Main Man made his move, despite her subtle hints that it wasn't a good idea. Finally, T.V. tells him to "put your hand here." Lobo and everyone reading now knows what the name "T.V." stands for... | |

In Bleach, Yoruichi debuts in the form of a cat with a male voice actor. Actually, she is a female, who surprises the hell out of Ichigo, especially when she's reveals this while naked. (Making this funnier, Kisuke Urahara's first line spoken to her cat form in the English dub was "Who's my favorite pussy?") | |

Also, the sheer shock of said yakuza member in discovering his rape victim was still biologically male causes him to "comically" abandon the rape and run away screaming. | |

And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online? plays with this quite a lot: Two years prior to the start of the series, protagonist Hideki proposed to a female MMORPG player who then revealed herself to be a man in real life, causing him to believe that There Are No Girls on the Internet. Partway into the series, it's revealed that the player actually was a woman in real life, and was merely invoking this trope to avoid unwanted male attention, so the show manages to pull this off twice with the same character. Admittedly, part of the reason Hideki was unsettled by the second reveal was because the woman in question turned out to be his high-school teacher. The best interesting part is during the offline meet where Hideki meets Ako in real life for the first time. When you look at the entire Alley Cats Guild online, you may assume that Ako's is the only female player. But the truth comes out when during the guild's first offline meet, it turns out that Hideki's the only male player in the guild. Turns out that his other two "male" guild-mates, Schwein and Apricot is actually his classmate Akane Segawa and the Student Council President Kyou Goshouin. Guess this anime really fits the title. |

AoHaru Manga Library: Downplayed in this episode, after wishing for a girlfriend in a shrine prayer, Keiichi is absolutely shocked when his 3 male friends come out of hot springs and reveal themselves to be girls. It's less severe than most examples because, after the initial shock, he quickly picks himself up because he's a calm introvert and asks calmly about their reasons. | |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: Serra is rather cold to Lucius when she thinks he's a girl in their C support, but when she finds out he's a guy, their B support has her going all starry-eyed. Fire Emblem: Awakening: In Japan, Sissy Villain Excellus uses female pronouns to the disgust of the other characters. Unsurprisingly the localizers removed this. Averted with Lucius's expy Libra. He mentions after being called a sister by Chrom that he's actually a priest. When he apologizes, he mentions that it could have been awkward. Very awkward. Very Very awkward. Unsurprisingly, Chrom tells him to stop. ("God give me strength. Even the Queen's brother confused me for a woman.") Things indeed become funny and awkward in Libra's supports with Virion, who continues to flatter his beauty even after finding out he's a man. And he's also mistaken as a woman by at least one potential girlfriend/wife. See his C support with Sully... who, ironically, is one of the tomboys of the cast. And in Libra's solo ending, it's explicitly said that he both built an Orphanage of Love and was asked out by both guys and girls. It might be a trap for players to trap players who are expecting a "trap", but there is a masked young man who claims to be Marth and backs it up by wielding Marth's legendary sword, the Falchion. People are already very aware of Marth's gender at this point, right...? Turns out, this "Marth" is an imposter... and a girl. Yeah. Marth is a Girl, and a very beautiful one too.) (You may now Squee). In fact, according to the promotional manga, in-story this took place sooner than we thought... Remember that Lon'qu was defeated by "Marth"? One of the reasons is that, during their fight, Lon'qu accidentally bumped head-first into Marth's chest and realised that his opponent was a woman. Since Lon'qu has a bad case of gynophobia due to his Dark and Troubled Past, well... |

Bones: The subplot of an episode revolved around the team trying to figure out whether a Japanese assistant is a man or a woman. It is debated at some length before Angela figures it out in her own way. The character is a man...the actress is a woman. Another episode has the team realize that the victim was a transgender woman. This had absolutely nothing to do with the murder. |

In Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Ace Ventura figures out that detective Lois Einhorn is actually Ax-Crazy former professional football player Ray Finkle and is responsible for the kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' mascot Snowflake and quarterback Dan Marino. He then remembers that Lois had tried to make out with him earlier. He gets Squicked. Badly. Later, when Ace Ventura exposes her former identity to the rest of the police force, all the twenty-odd policemen present, Dan Marino and the dolphin also get Squicked. Apparently she got around... (and as a shout out to make it funnier, the song playing in both sequences is Boy George's "The Crying Game") Roger Podacter also found out, presumably during an intimate encounter with Einhorn, and as Ace declares during the reveal, that's why he wound up dead; "He found Captain Winkie!" | |

Among the initial worries that come with a revelation like this is that her gender will affect her relationship with Subaru. Turns out, it didn't matter.

In The Simpsons episode "Bart's Girlfriend", Bart hears angelic singing coming from the Springfield church, and assumes that it's Jessica Lovejoy. Turns out it's Ned Flanders. Similarily, in "Bart of Darkness, a series of incidents, starting with a woman screaming in horror, lead Bart to believe that Flanders killed his wife. At the end of the episode we see the clarification about Maude being missing because she was at a church trip and that the "murder" that Flanders commited was that he over-watered Maude's plant and killed it. Bart asks about the woman screaming, which Flanders says he can't explain... until Lou the policeman says they found the plant and show it. Ned proceeds to let out a very feminine scream. |

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Raiden, a shameless Bishōnen, is revealed to the President of the United States. The president literally grabs Raiden's package to check his sex, reacting in suppressed shock when he learns the terrible truth — the script says he'd misidentified him as the similar-looking female terrorist leader, Olga Gurlukovich, but Raiden's decidedly male voice and obvious bulge should have put that suspicion out the window. Besides, why didn't he just ask Raiden?... What was he planning to do to Olga?! Who voted for that?! According to an in-character Quinton Flynn, "Why would I even care? I'm not even anatomically correct! I run around naked and I got no junk!" ...That might say something... |

Kevin & Kell: Reversed when it looks like Rachel (a rhinoceros) might be trying to romance Bruno (an herbivorous wolf)... until she realizes he's a boy. Rachel, as it turns out, is gay. Bruno was wearing a fake sheepskin covered with his girlfriend Corrie's wool, thus making him smell like a girl sheep and giving a species with poor eyesight no other cues to his actual gender. Bruno attaches ram horns to the sheepskin to prevent this from recurring. Comes back again when Wendell (male rabbit) finds out Jess (female cow) is a girl. Jess has horns, but a lot of people don't realize both genders of cattle have horns. |

An attempt to use this trope using a real-life trans person caused some controversy among the LGBT community in an episode of reality show Cake Boss, where Buddy invites Carmen Carrera (best known for being on RuPaul's Drag Race) and sets her up on a date with "cousin Anthony", the punchline being the reveal to Anthony that his date was "really" a man, with his shocked reaction Played for Laughs. Though usually thought of as a Drag Queen, since she was one before she started transitioning, Carmen is actually a trans woman and was not amused when made aware of the nature of her appearance on the show, citing the fact that this has led to real life murders of trans people. Buddy later apologized for the incident and the episode was removed from rotation. | |

A one-episode B-plot in Century City followed a lawsuit a man filed against a female-looking Hermaphrodite for causing him to question his sexuality. The case was dropped when he turned out to be trans too, but an in-universe ad for penis attachment surgery led to the observation that "someone should sue somebody for something." | |

Lesbian variant: In the first OVA of El-Hazard: The Magnificent World, Makoto is forced to pose as the missing princess Fatora. Apparently, he pulls this off a little too well, because Fatora's lesbian lover Alielle climbs into bed with him. Her response basically boils down to: "Well, that's new... wait a minute... Oh, my God!" The episode ends with both of them screaming. In The Alternative World, the real Fatora tries to return the favor to Alielle, but instead finds Alielle's very similar twin brother. "It just went... squish." | |

Guilty Gear: Bridget, the former Trope Namer, is introduced in XX as a crossdressing boy in a nun habit. She was born as the younger of two male twins, but as her hometown had a superstitious belief that male twins would bring disaster (and should be put to death or exiled), Bridget was secretly raised as a girl. Her birth gender is never a secret to the audience, as it's told at the beginning of her storyline, nor does she try to hide it from anyone and corrects them in casual conversation if they call her a girl. The problem is that most other characters simply assume she's a cis woman, due to her behavior, Moe nun outfit, and way of speakingNoteDespite identifying as a boy at the time, she uses female pronouns in Japanese., and they act on her before finding out the truth. As seen on the page image, one of her story mode endings involves Johnny trying to flirt with her, only to discover her gender mid-fight and feeling humiliated ("I can't believe I just tried to seduce another man..."). In Zappa's win quote, he writes a letter to his mom (which he does during his brief periods of lucidity), saying he found an injured young girl by the side of the road whom he wished to make his wife. But when he attempted to pick her up and carry her... In his win quote, resident Lovable Sex Maniac Robo-Ky asserts that he wasn't fooled by her, except he admits that he found out by using his See-Thru Specs on her. Not to mention a little Yon Koma about Axl trying to hit on Bridget. Bridget gets fed up, grabs his arm and pulls it below the panel, with the word "TOUCH♡". The final panel has Axl gripping said hand with a horrified expression, going "What the hell did I just touch?". And "DESTROYED" in large letters above him, referencing the One-Hit Kill attacks from the games. In Real Life, people have found it quite amusing to show Bridget to those who aren't familiar with the Guilty Gear series and get their reactions when they drop the bombshell. "Everyone is gay for Bridget" quickly became an infamous meme and her defining character trait outside of universe. The trope is deconstructed in Guilty Gear -STRIVE-. During the in-universe six-year gap between XX and -STRIVE-, Bridget had succeeded as a bounty hunter, proving her village superstition bunk and allowing her to live openly as a man. However, doing so triggers her gender dysphoria, which she hides from her family. When mistaken for a girl by Goldlewis, she's more hesitant to correct him than before. Both Goldlewis and Ky recognize what's going on, and they give her the space to talk it out while gently encourage her to be true to herself. This finally gives Bridget to stop running from her feelings and come out as a transgender woman. |

A rather bizarre example occurs in Fist of the North Star. Rei is introduced wearing a pink cloak and is mistaken for a woman, as only his eyes are visible. It's not until he speaks, and fully pulls the cloak off that his manly bod is revealed. It's worse in the anime, where Rei is pursued by several men trying to get a date. | |

The Eberron setting of Dungeons & Dragons actually notes that this possibility of this occurring is one of the main reasons for the Fantastic Racism leveled against the shapeshifting Changeling race, whose members are fully capable of changing not just appearance but gender at will, regardless of the gender of their actual native form. It's a well-known joke in Eberron fan circles to point to any depiction of an attractive male or female character and declare that it's really a changeling of the opposite gender. Nevermind that picture from the Sharn sourcebook that showed a couple of the working girls in the red-light district. The jokes that picture alone spawned... |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Tieria Erde, although his voice and personality help to only keep the viewer in the dark for parts of the first episode. Still, his girly looks and the fact that he wears a fuzzy pink sweater when not burninating the countryside in his Gundam cause enough of a double-take to fit him in here. To add to the confusion, the people making the show claimed Innovators have no sex. They actually meant that they were androgynous. It was just badly translated and underwent Memetic Mutation before the correction came around. He doesn't make it any easier in the 2nd season, when it's shown that when it's needed, he can really fill out a ballgown. Maybe Eiji gave him some tips... | |

In HeartCatch Pretty Cure!, Tsubomi quickly becomes smitten with the handsome Student Council President Itsuki. When she learns that "he" is actually a handsome girl, she's upset and shocked enough to end up staying home with a fever. Cobraja ends up choosing Itsuki to be a Desertian (mostly) because he thinks she's a beautiful man. Then when Itsuki-as-a-Desertian swoons over a girl's uniform and reveals her actual gender, he promptly freaks. Also it's implied that before all these happened, Erika also had the same unsettling experience and stayed home with a fever like Tsubomi. |

You're Under Arrest! uses it as a running gag with Aoi, whose crossdressing is treated fairly realistically: His in-canon introduction involved this trope, along with his new co-workers' reaction to the reveal. He invokes the trope deliberately in an episode of the anime, when he gets a marriage proposal from an Idol Singer that she's not interested in. Aoi asks for a meeting and shows up in male clothes, telling him about his issues. The guy respects Aoi's wish, withdraws the proposal, and they decide to stay friends. |

Leisure Suit Larry has this happen twice: Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out!: The dark-skinned makeup artist Shablee turns out to be a cross-dresser/transvestite (according to documentation/development notes), still sporting a sizable phallus. As Larry learns the truth only after some passionate kissing, his immediate after-the-reveal reaction is to recoil and start spitting and gagging. The next morning's shot shows him in his room rinsing furiously. Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude: Koko the troubled mime turns out to be a trans woman sporting a package that's large enough to make an audible *THUD* upon opening her fly. This revelation is enough to put Larry into the fetal position. The model viewer shows her equipment, but it's tiny enough to conform to her feminine character model... Must be a grow-er, not a show-er. |

Stone Ocean: Anasui's original appearance (in the manga) is as a woman, presumably using Diver Down's internal restructuring ability to give him a disguise to infiltrate the women's prison ward. Later, when she finds out, Ermes is actually pretty surprised to find that Anasui's actually male. | |

Cowboy Bebop: Nobody finds out that Ed's a girl until Faye tickles her! Everyone else can be forgiven since she's a pre-pubescent Tomboy with No Social Skills, and it's also a Development Gag to when Ed really was a boy in the original version of the story before being changed to a girl for cast balance. A downplayed version in "Jupiter Jazz (Part 1)" — Gren is a male with female breasts due to being used for drug testing. |

Common for Phase in Whateley Universe, as he is an intersexed mutant whose body is mostly female (and extremely gorgeous) but who retains his original male gentalia, gender identity and sexual orientation. Unfortunately, more than a few males can't see past his appearance, and some (such as Imperious, who as the reincarnation of Zeus never gave much of a damn about the sex of his partners anyway) are actually more interested in him knowing that he's a 'she-male'. Averted with Mega-Girl and Stronghold. When Mega-Girl reveals that she's both transgender and a Gender Bender (but still mostly male for the time being because of the slow manner in which she is changing), Stronghold answered that he loved her anyway. Zig-zagged for Absinthe and Flytrap; Collin had been a bully to Adam, but they didn't know each other very well beyond that. When Gwen (formerly Adam) meets Collin again after she is 'rescued' by the Mutant Supremacist cell who were trying to recruit Collin, she let's Collin assume that she is Adam's sister. Later, on the trip out to Whateley, they hit it off as friends, and during the first month of school they quickly start feeling romantically towards each other - until Collin finds out that Gwen was Adam. Collin flips out, not because of the gender issue (well, not entirely) but because he thought she actually was just Adam using an illusion to trick and humiliate him. When she finally explains that she was a Gender Bender due to her mutation, he stops being quite as angry, but still feels betrayed because she wasn't upfront about it. They do eventually get back together, though. For 2006 Transgender Day of Remembrance, the changeling students gather in private to memorialize the deaths of several transgender Whateley students and adult superheroes, most of which involve this. |

Jet Dream: Averted by the Elle-Boys of J.E.T. T.E.E.N. Despite looking exactly like girls, they make no secret of the fact that they're actually boys. As a rule, they're also heterosexuals who exhibit many "traditionally masculine" traits. In the story "South Pacific Powder-Puff Power!"note Jet Dream and her T-Girl Counterspies #3, there's a startling revelation about a longstanding character. The T-Girls learned that Ting, the Polynesian princess and only "female" member of the Thunderbirds, had actually always been a male. In Ting's matriarchal tribe, male royals are expected to live as women. When the rest of the team changed sex, so did Ting. |

Happened once to Sanchez from The Closer. He made the mistake of hitting on (and kissing) a pretty female witness...who turned out to be the perp in drag. In a somewhat darkly humorous twist, this was the incident that convinced him to start actually going to the mandatory therapy sessions with the department shrink. (Mandatory because he was still suffering from PTSD after taking the bullet in the previous season finale; up until this incident, he'd been in denial about it.) Poor, poor Sanchez. | |

Hayate the Combat Butler: Poor Hayate gets forced into female clothing often, and there have been several cases of this. However, the most amusing was when he had to crossdress in order to attend an anime convention, and ends up having to fight a giant robot while wearing a maid costume. Naturally, this makes all the fanboys happy and taking pictures, even mentioning 'I saw white!' only to have Hayate respond that he's a guy. Their response? HE'S A TRAP! and, of course, take more pictures. Luca, a pop star that Hayate helps after the robot hurts her, falls for it too, even going so far as to change in front of him. Due to the large amount of stress she's under, Hayate tries to keep up the disguise, digging deeper and deeper with lies. The plan finally fails when she gets into a bath that he's in, along with more than one of his female classmates. One butler falls in love with Hayate, who at the moment is under a crossdressing curse (...). Although initially devastated when Hayate's cover is blown, he quickly comes around and tries to convince Hayate to travel with him to the Netherlands, where same-sex marriages are legal. (Cue Nagi's Megaton Kick.) |

Final Fantasy VII: It's possible to get the Don to choose Cloud, in which case he reveals that he was in drag. While the idea of the Don picking Cloud over Tifa and Aerith may seem silly and unlikely based on the graphics in the original game (and their low polygon count), the Don's decision becomes much more understandable if one looks at Cloud's character design in Advent Children, especially if Cloud-in-drag appeared anything like THIS◊.

The Kirita Chronicles: Klein, PoH, Coper, Argo and Akio have all expressed surprise when they found out Kazuta's real gender. The results of this revelation differ in each case. Kazuta feels the fact she is in an avatar that is an exact replica of her real body unsettling as well, especially since she is used to playing as a male avatar. Akio is the only one that Kazuta willingly revealed her true gender to while the rest of the characters either learned this by accident and/or by spying on her. |

Flame of Recca: Happens twice in the same minute in the anime. A dim bunch of henchmen have been told to apprehend a high-school-age boy, and they identify Fuko (a very tomboyish, macho girl) as their target. Immediately afterward, the rather feminine Tokiya screams at them, "You idiots! I bet you thought I was a girl!" Subverted in the manga. Recca asks Aoi three questions, the third being "Are you a guy or a girl?". Aoi answers that he's a guy, but instead of being stupefied about the gender, Recca merely brushes it off to mean that he can fight as he pleases. |

Ayakashi Triangle: Played with; when Suzu's family see Matsuri for the first time in years, they're shocked the kid they assumed was a boy grew into a pretty girl (Suzu's little brother paying special attention to Matsuri's breasts). The truth is, Matsuri was a boy back then and still identifies as one now, but he'd recently been turned female and adopted a female identity. Double Subverted when Rochka see Matsuri's crotch the instant his transformation is partially reversed. Since Rochka is a naive ayakashi that only looks human, she's very confused, but continues thinking Matsuri is a girl. Eventually, she does realize he's a guy, and holds something of a grudge over the incident. |

During the in-universe six-year gap between XX and -STRIVE-, Bridget had succeeded as a bounty hunter, proving her village superstition bunk and allowing her to live openly as a man. However, doing so triggers her gender dysphoria, which she hides from her family. When mistaken for a girl by Goldlewis, she's more hesitant to correct him than before. Both Goldlewis and Ky recognize what's going on, and they give her the space to talk it out while gently encourage her to be true to herself. This finally gives Bridget to stop running from her feelings and come out as a transgender woman. | |

The Order of the Stick: Averted very carefully by Vaarsuvius, an elf whose gender remains unspecified (and just to keep the readers guessing, the gender of V's lawfully wedded spouse is also unspecified and their kids are adopted.) The Giant revealed at one point that V hadn't told him their gender as anything but "genderqueer" and that V honestly does not care enough about the subject to worry about it. Invoked when Belkar hits on a magically gender-swapped Roy. Turns out, he knew it was Roy the whole time, and he was just doing it to squick him out. |

In Persona 4, exactly how Unsettling Naoto's Gender Reveal is to Kanji is a vital piece of the latter's characterization. Kanji, who can be interpreted as struggling with very deep sexual identity issues, textually expresses almost the exact same mixture of anxiety and eagerness in interactions with Naoto before and after the scene in question. Perhaps most tellingly, though, Kanji is at his most resolute when Naoto's life is in imminent danger of Shadow-fueled destruction, only moments after the Reveal itself. | |

Discussed on Rupauls Drag Race with Courtney Act, one of the few contestants in the entire series who can genuinely pass as a cisgender woman in appearance and voice. She has had sex in drag with men who claimed they didn't care that she was actually a man, but in those two minutes after a man climaxes where he's not thinking about sex, they'd be disgusted with themselves and her. | |

Discussed in an episode of Needs More Gay, where Rantasmo points out how hugely problematic it is that the vast majority of trans representation in media (which isn't very large to begin with), falls under this trope.

At least three times in GTO: The Early Years, with different reactions each time: Jun Kamata reveals that his "sister" Kaoru Kamata is actually an Attractive Bent-Gender Crossdresser. However, Eikichi, who Kaoru ends up falling for, never finds out. Kaoru doesn't disappear after that arc, playing a supporting role in later chapters. In the 2020 live-action drama Eikichi does find out (and defends him/her from a transphobic/homophobic teacher). The attractive female neighbor who Eikichi and Ryuji spy on through a hole in the wall is revealed to be a Drag Queen who pranks whoever moves into the neighboring room by pretending to be a masturbating woman. This one is mostly Played for Laughs and the boys are treated as having deserved it for peeping. Misato Hazuki, who Eikichi seemed to be seriously in love with, is revealed to be a trans woman. The normally sympathetic Shinomi shows an ugly transphobic side (possibly because she felt her own Belligerent Sexual Tension with Eikichi was threatened), but Eikichi is devastated when Misato leaves town, and his best friend Ryuji is understanding. |

In Dragon Age: Origins, it turns out that Shale was actually once a female dwarf. Thanks to The Fog of Ages, even the character in question is stunned by this, making it a rare case of the character in question experiencing the unsettling reveal. It's implied that she was aware of the fact beforehand, just considered it, for all intend and purposes, unimportant, since she is, after all, a genderless golem. |

Slayers: In the second season of the anime, during their tenure in a Lady Land kingdom for the cross-dressing episode, a disguised Zelgadis meets and becomes smitten with the kingdom's demure and burdened princess, Miwan. After he saves her from a water demon named Evia, Miwan declares herself free from her burdens...and promptly takes all of her clothes off and reveals herself as a man. It turns out that all of the Royal guard was formed by guys in exactly the same situation: like Miwan, they were raised as girls by their moms to not being killed or taken away. A side story in the novels also has Zelgadis encounter another girl, named Miranda, dressed as a male bounty hunter. During his fight with another chimera, her gender is revealed. |

Fate Series: In Fate/stay night, there's a reason why Guinevere had that affair with Lancelot, since her husband, King Arthur, aka Saber, turns out to be a woman (and stopped aging at the age of 15), but Guinevere agreed to the marriage as political fiction only, and due to that reason Arthuria never blamed Guinevere nor Lancelot for their romance and was forced to take action against it by her enemies. This also occurs in the stay night prequel series Fate/Zero, where Kiritsugu is quite shocked when he summons King Arthur and finds himself face to face with a young woman. While Saber initially thinks that it's because he's displeased by her sex, Kiritsugu's wife Irisviel explains to her that it's more that he's saddened because he realizes what Saber was forced to go through, including hiding her identity. Fate/Apocrypha has Astolfo, who is so effeminate that at least Sieg and Jeanne thought he was a girl. Then Astolfo came out of the shower with no towel around his waist... granted, only Jeanne actually freaked out in embarrassed shock, while Sieg isn't really affected by such sights due to his emotional development. However, in Fate/Grand Order, male heroes turning out to have been women in disguise all along (or openly female from the start) is an Unusually Uninteresting Sight to the protagonist. |

Speaking of BlazBlue, Kagura Mutsuki has a match intro where he scans the female anatomy, complete with targeting reticules and readouts. He does this with Amane Nishiki as well, and expresses disappointment at the obvious. For Fridge Brilliance, Kagura's exact quote is "Not another dude...", which means he's already experienced this trope a lot and Amane wasn't his first case. | |

When Kouji Nanjo from Zetsuai (1989) was a young boy, he once saw a rage-filled, beautiful tomboy named Izumi. He fell in love with her at first sight, but she disappeared from his life as fast as she arrived. Several years later, Kouji is watching a high school soccer game and recognizes one of the players, soccer star Takuto Izumi, as the young girl who captivated him, since "Izumi" was the kid's surname. After quite some Gayngst about it, Kouji quickly decides that it doesn't change his feelings for Izumi. | |

Alto Saotome from Macross Frontier, a former Kabuki actor who often played female roles, gets this a lot... but trust us, he's certainly not happy about it. In one episode a salesman mistakes him for a girl and tries to sell him women's clothing, to which Alto angrily points at his Adam's apple and says "Does THIS look like a woman to you?!" Teammate Mikael loves to jerk Alto's chain by referring to him as "Princess Alto" and similar nicknames. | |

In the The Cinema Snob review of Sadomania, he repeatedly remarks how beautiful the female warden is and checks the back of the box to find out her name...and discovers she is played by "the stunning transsexual adult film star Ajita Wilson". Cue a horrified "Oh my God" followed by a Smash Cut of him sitting in the shower fully clothed calling Jillian on the phone claiming that they have to have sex "right NOW" since he's "so confused". According to the video description, this was based on a friend of Brad's having had the same revelation. | |

The Batman Beyond episode "Out of the Past" sees Ra's al Ghul transferring his mind into his daughter Talia's body... and Bruce Wayne has quite the history with her (well, as much as he does with anyone). What transpires thoroughly creeps both Bruce and Terry out. And then later: Note that this is Batman saying this, and considering his career (which he is more-or-less retired from at this point), it should say a lot. |

Farscape: In "The Flax", D'Argo discovers that the scavenger Staanz, who appears to be a rather ugly male, turns out to be, in fact, a female of her species ("considered quite the looker") when Staanz makes an Anguished Declaration of Love to him. Crichton and Aeryn witness this and jokes they should Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone (D'Argo also makes a rapid departure) but afterwards Crichton asks Aeryn to confirm she's the female of her species. Aeryn responds by grabbing his crotch, which he takes as a yes. | |

Different Tales, Different Lessons: An in-universe example happens to Kang, the Big Bad of the vignette "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", when the "concubine" he invited into his private bedroom finally unveils their true nature: Master Crane, who was Disguised in Drag until that point. Of course, since the story is focused on Crane's perspective, the readers know the truth all along, but Kang doesn't catch on until it's too late, and is rewarded with a Curb-Stomp Battle in Crane's favor and the villain's presumed arrest because of it. | |

Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Dan infiltrates Twink Territories dressed as a woman. Later on, Biggs finds out. Quoth Biggs: "I'd probably feel more awkward if this was the first time this had happened..." Later on it turns out Biggs was mostly playing this for laughs, as he's actually one of Dan's childhood friends, just transmasc (and very much more secure in himself than he used to be), so Dan didn't recognize him. Being a Walking Shirtless Scene probably helped too. In another story arc, the shapeshifting incubus Abel takes a job working at the Lost Lake Inn. Dan gripes that it'll be an unfortunate adventurer who comes into an inn hoping for the traditional greeting and service by a perky cute beer wench. Abel: "Oh, well if THAT's your only issue..." Dan *turns around to see Abel has put on a very convincing female form* "YIGG!" Page caption: "Don't worry, adventurers are used to dealing with traps." Later on Dan meets Mink, who is androgynously pretty, flat-chested, and runs around in a skirt and no shirt. Dan outright asks Mink whether they are a boy or a girl, only to find that Mink has forgotten hirself (being another shapeshifting 'cubi). Mink is on the point of taking a peak down hir skirt to refresh hir memory when Dan decides that he doesn't really need to know that badly. (In an omake, the doctor delivering Mink at hir birth never gets to say.) |

Ichika Usami of KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode ends up falling head over heels for Akira Kenjou, whom she doesn't realize isn't a boy. Not even when Akira turns into Cure Chocolat right in front of her (to be fair, Cure Chocolat is one handsome Precure when transformed). It takes the end of the episode and Ichika's dad pointing it out for her to realize what's going on. | |

Unsettling in-universe for Carl from Llamas with Hats to learn that his roommate, who had been unidentified prior to that point, was a male named Paul (in Carl's defense, Paul's hat is rather feminine, but he couldn't even remember Paul's name after three years). After asking Paul if he's sure, which Paul confirms to his annoyance, Carl then says he has to go delete some pictures from his computer. | |

In the novel Trainspotting, it happens to Renton, not Begbie. Furthermore, he doesn't panic, but admits to always being curious about what it would be like to sleep with a man. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he ends up getting to third base; however, his friends then walk in on him, scaring Renton off any same-sex encounters until he finds himself in London without a place to spend the night. | |

A semi-common event on The Jerry Springer Show is a trans woman or man coming out as trans to their boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. The person being told rarely reacts well, oftentimes because they're angry that they weren't informed sooner, feeling like their partner was lying to them or deliberately hiding information. Given this it's unsurprising that most of these events end with the spouse breaking things off with the transperson, sometimes due to Incompatible Orientation, other times due to no longer feeling like they can trust their partner if they were willing to hide something so major. Subverted on at least one occasion; a transwoman confessed to her online boyfriend that she used to be male. He looked shocked for a moment before shrugging and saying he'd try anything once. They then locked lips to the audience's amusement. |

Shaman King has Amamiya Ryu aka Bokuto no Ryu, who thinks that Lyserg Diethel is a girl at first. When Lyserg reveals his gender, Ryu can't believe it until Lyserg either lets him check in his underwear (2001 anime) or drops his pants in front of everyone (manga). Ryu doesn't seem to care and remains very protective and devoted to Lyserg even after Lyserg's Face–Heel Turn and defection to the X-Laws. | |

Ghastly's Ghastly Comic: A rather ridiculous case when the two similar-looking characters in the rather ambiguous fighting game (within a webcomic) "Loli vs. Shota", both finally decide to actually check their genders... and are shocked to find out that they're both wrong on which one they thought they were. And yet even though we learn they're both wrong, the reader still is left in the dark about which character is which gender. A Running Gag is that masculine characters tend to have sex with Freddy... who, despite having breasts, is male and revels in it. They tend to be very drunk at the time. |

In Camelot 3000, Tom Prentice awakens memories of Camelot in Sir Tristan's reincarnation, who happens to be a gorgeous young woman. Tom's instant crush on the reborn Tristan plays out this trope. Ultimately it proves hopeless, as Tristan refuses to accept life as a hetero female, eventually entering a lesbian relationship with Isolde's reincarnation. | |

Steins;Gate: Invoked and parodied by the narration when Ruka is introduced. Without prior knowledge of the character, you will assume they're a girl (the Miko outfit doesn't help), but Rintaro will eventually start making complementary remarks in narration "More feminine than any woman alive..." only to end them with "...But, he's a guy!". Kurisu also appears quite disturbed the first time Rintaro corrects her when she talks about how nice Mayuri's 'female' friend was. In-universe example for Rintaro after Ruka manages to change her sex to female (at birth) using D-Mail. The fact that she looks exactly the same either way doesn't help matters. Arguably, it's just as unsettling for Ruka herself, as Rintaro tries to grab 'his' area to prove 'his' gender. Much later, Ruka receives one of these for herself, when she comes to remember parts of another world line where she was a he. |

Zigzagged in the Dead West Porcelain Doctor; the narrator, a journalist named Gervas meets the titular porcelain doctor on a steamship, and concludes that the waifish, slim redhead with the creamy skin and the narrow waist ("like wearing a corset") and soft voice, wearing dainty glasses must be a crossdressing woman. He swores to protect the doctor, who is quite baffled, but accepts... then later, on a train, after a clash with "shamblers", the doctor disrobes a bit. Our narrator promptly tries to look away, but peeks a little, and takes a Double Take. The doctor was, in fact, a he. Not that this stops Gervas. Even better, almost everybody mistakes him for a girl. Carolina even grabbed his loins (cue minor freakout, from both parties), and wasn't too sure even after that! | |

The One With The Angelic Face: The revelation that Angela was originally a male vampire before the curse restored her soul prompts shock from the entire Scooby Gang (aside from Jenny Calendar who already knew this); Xander in particular (having spent the last few months crushing on Angela, albeit to a lesser degree than his crush on Buffy) is unable to say anything but "You were a man?" for the next few minutes. | |

In Vandread, Bart Garsus gets a Bridget dropped on him with The Reveal that BC is a Gender Bender Mole. In the end, it doesn't stop him. If anything, it made it easier for him to accept his own feelings: the premise behind the whole series has men and women living on completely different planets — so same-sex "loves" were common practice. | |

PG version in Cardcaptor Sakura. When Sakura, Kero and Tomoyo have to catch a Clow Card that has taken residence in a painting, they meet with a kid named Yuuki whose Disappeared Dad is the artist who painted it. At the end of the episode Yuuki's hat falls off and reveals very long hair, thus showing the trio (and us) that Yuuki is a tomboyish girl. | |

In Mayo Chiki!, the butler for a local rich girl, Konoe Subaru, is actually a girl. She was allowed to be a butler, which is a men's only profession, on the condition that she can hide her gender from the students at school. Her cover is nearly blown when Ordinary High-School Student Jiro accidentally finds it out. But luckily for her, he agrees to keep it a secret (largely due to blackmail from said local rich girl, who also promises to help cure his gynophobia, or fear of women, as he suffers from nosebleeds anytime a woman touches him). | |

In the surprisingly serious short What's Opera, Doc?, Elmer Fudd finds out that the girl he fell for was Bugs Bunny in a dress — and actually kills Bugs with his magic helmet. Although it's unclear whether he does it because Bugs is male, or if it's because Bugs rejects him the moment the disguise is off! Or because, well, he's Bugs. In another episode, Mississippi Hare, Bugs disguises himself as a southern belle to escape the antagonist of the episode, Colonel Shuffle. Bugs enlists the help of another passenger, who throws Shuffle overboard the riverboat to protect the "little flower of the south". He's clearly quite smitten with Bugs until he gets a good look at his rear end after his skirt was ripped. Whether the gentleman realized the lady he helped was male or was a rabbit (or both) is unclear, but the poor schmuck makes a stupefied expression, and walks himself overboard while muttering incoherently. |

The Cleveland Show has a moment in the Thanksgiving special wherein Cleveland gets revenge on his wayward and emotionally abusive father by not telling him that the "woman" he's about to get in bed with is actually a man (and totally not Tyler Perry / Madea). As it happens, the "woman" in question is actually Uncle Kevin, who disguised himself as a woman so Donna would have a positive female role model after her mother abandoned her. And then when Cleveland DOES tell him, it's not heard, but you see the two men gesturing... then just like Brian Griffin in the above example, the dad vomits for thirty seconds. | |

Shimoneta: It happens to Tanukichi and the readers in chapter 10, when he mistakes Oboro for a member of Gathered Fabric and wrestles him to the floor. Which is how his foot ends up trapped between Oboro's legs, directly on his bulge. Tanukichi uses his foot to double-check and inadvertently causes Oboro to silently arch his back. In the next set of panels, Oboro is seen smiling with a faint blush, while Tanukichi sweatdrops. | |

Persona: Persona 3 has the more basic Played for Laughs version of the trope during "Operation Babe Hunt." In Persona 4, exactly how Unsettling Naoto's Gender Reveal is to Kanji is a vital piece of the latter's characterization. Kanji, who can be interpreted as struggling with very deep sexual identity issues, textually expresses almost the exact same mixture of anxiety and eagerness in interactions with Naoto before and after the scene in question. Perhaps most tellingly, though, Kanji is at his most resolute when Naoto's life is in imminent danger of Shadow-fueled destruction, only moments after the Reveal itself. |

Nip/Tuck: Matt starts a relationship with an older woman named Ava (played by Famke Janssen), much to the displeasure of his three parents. Christian seduces her in an effort to get her to stay away from Matt and immediately deduces she used to be a man (and later describes her as "the goddamned Hope Diamond of transsexuals"). After Matt finds out about Ava and she has disappeared, he trolls bars until he finds a non-passing trans woman, but as they start making out, Matt discovers she is pre-op and beats her violently. |

Summertime Saga has the shy Eve, who is reticent about undressing in front of the Main character. This is more of an aversion: one reason for her reticence is that she has a disfiguring scar from a motorbike crash. The other is that she is really a he with a willy, or what the Japanese call a futunara. If you choose for her to have a bulge, the player character will be quick to accept it. | |

He mentally admits that he doesn't know a time when he's been more shocked. Later, when Melba finds out, she's just as stunned. | |

Inverted in an episode of The Drew Carey Show where Mr. Wick is challenged to find a crossdresser on the floor. After he looks for a while, Dionne Warwick walks in and Wick declares her a drag queen and grabs the music legend in her crotch. It turns out that it was the real Dionne Warwick much to Wick's embarrassment but she seemed to like being groped by him and remarked about how friendly the store's staff was. | |

Case Closed: The entire population of Tsukugeshima in "Moonlight Sonata" case was not only surprised that the island's only doctor Narumi Asai is the Villain of the Week, but also that "she" is a man. Much later, Conan, Hakuba and Heiji realize that the "Detective of the South", Natsuki Koshimizu, is a Bifauxnen instead of a waifish boy. They only find out when she puts on her school uniform... a feminine seifuku instead of a male gakuran like the one Heiji has just put on. (OTOH the "Detective of the North", Junya Tokitsu, already knew and didn't tell them; in fact, he was surprised to learn that they didn't know about Natsuki's gender.) And the reverse-drop happens again when Action Girl Sera Masumi appears. Conan, Ran and Sonoko don't find out that the handsome and devil-may-care boy that said Ran was "his type" and helped them resolve a case, was actually a Bifauxnen... until she appears in a female highschool uniform and transfers to the girls's class. In manga chapter 830, it comes up again. Sera is such a Bifauxnen that even Kaitou Kid mistakes her as a boy. After having knocked her out and stripped her down to her boyish underwear and shirt to steal her clothes. Said person doesn't find out until Conan explains it to him, and when that happens a VERY upset Sera returns and kicks him to the face. |

In the beginning of episode 5 of Servant × Service, Yamagami woke up from being drunk and saw a woman that looked suspiciously like her coworker Yutaka Hasebe next to her. The latter then said she was indeed Hasebe and asked Yamagami to hide it from their coworkers, causing the latter to go Blue with Shock. As it turned out, it was subverted. Hasebe brought Yamagami to his sister Kaoru's apartment, and it was Kaoru who was sleeping next to Yamagami—and messing with Yamagami for fun. | |

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude: Koko the troubled mime turns out to be a trans woman sporting a package that's large enough to make an audible *THUD* upon opening her fly. This revelation is enough to put Larry into the fetal position. The model viewer shows her equipment, but it's tiny enough to conform to her feminine character model... Must be a grow-er, not a show-er. | |

Inverted in "War is the H-Word," when Zapp finds himself attracted to "Lee Lemon." He is quite relieved when he finds out it was Leela all along. Also played with in Lrr (ruler of Omicron Persei 8)'s date with what he believes to be an Omicronian woman, who turns out to be a (human) cross-species dresser with a fetish for aliens. He feels shocked and violated. "In "Fry and the Slurm Factory" While messing with the Professor's F-Ray, Bender sees a smoking hot fembot whom he promptly scans to see her internal anatomy. When she turns out to be transgender (with only one more upgrade to go before completing transition), he reacts in disgust. |

Rain (2010): Gavin is rather shocked that the cute girl Rain is his childhood friend, formerly known as Ryan. He gets over it eventually. Aiken is very angry when he finds out his fiancée Jessica is transgender, and breaks up the engagement. It doesn't help that she told him only because she knew she wouldn't be able to hide the truth any more. He calms down, but doesn't seem to really get over it. And then he finds out about Rain. Ana once had an ex-boyfriend who attacked her when he found she’s intersex. |

While the title heroine of Atelier Annie has her moments due to her (unfortunate) Bifauxnen status, the game also gives a somewhat bizarre example when some men tried to hit on, of all people, Hans. The bizarre part is that they genuinely mistook him as a girl, while his co-workers in the Committee see him as a guy just fine. | |

This is a primary plot point in Blue Drop: Tenshitachi no Bokura. The main character must have sex on penalty of death with his best friend, who has been transformed into a girl by the evil lesbian aliens and impregnate him. Happens in the reverse, too; the friend in question is uncomfortable with having sex with the main character as well. Then it's found out that the best friend's mind was simply put over the top of a random alien girl's mind. When they fully merge at the end of the manga, it's unknown if he is a she with a guy's mind, or a guy still trapped in a girl body. It's rather messed up regardless. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy IV has a certain dancer in the town of Fabul. Final Fantasy V. The leader of a band of pirates called Faris is assumed to be a male due to occupation, but once the party gets halfway through the second dungeon it turns out he is a she. To quote a boss later on in the game, And now we shall fight like men. And women. And women who dress like men. She even occasionally mistaken refers to herself as male. It's clearer in the original Japanese, where gender is reinforced by speech much more than in English. (For example, Japanese has gender-specific first-person pronouns, not that this stops some people.) Final Fantasy VII: It's possible to get the Don to choose Cloud, in which case he reveals that he was in drag. While the idea of the Don picking Cloud over Tifa and Aerith may seem silly and unlikely based on the graphics in the original game (and their low polygon count), the Don's decision becomes much more understandable if one looks at Cloud's character design in Advent Children, especially if Cloud-in-drag appeared anything like THIS◊. Stupid Sexy Cloud. Final Fantasy VII Remake makes it clear that Cloud can go all out in looking like a woman, and the confusion on how Don Corneo can choose Cloud over Tifa and Aerith is much clearer. |

While there are elements of the trope's pure form (the Owner says "When I was younger, I was often mistaken for a girl"), for Haruto it's more of an Unsettling Identity Reveal. | |

The Rose of Versailles: In the anime the Duke of Orleans tried to invoke this by having a very girlish and young-looking henchman impersonate Marie-Antoinette, thus ruining the marriage to the Dauphin. It doesn't work, since Oscar manages to stop him and Marie shows up in time. Also tends to happen fairly often that Oscar herself is mistaken for a gorgeous man, only for Oscar or someone in the known to clear the mistake and unsettle the poor woman. Note that this did nothing to stop the creation of a rather large all-female fan club for Oscar... |

Mistertique doesn't actually seem to realize it isn't a vagina, or that the person it's attached to isn't a lady. A knight rushes to rescue a princess chained to a wall and about to be eaten by a salamander. The 'princess' is not actually a princess. The knight opts not to save him, and so the salamander eats him. Judging by the knight's conversation with his squire, this is a common occurance. |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In "The Coach", when it was revealed that Coach Russo was the mother of Jamie, the main characters aren't surprised about that, but that Russo (a big, red block with a masculine voice) is a woman. Subverted in "The Fraud". After Principal Brown reveals that his diploma is fake, the other teachers proceed to reveal some secrets about them (e.g., Miss Simian's age). Coach Russo proceeds to reveal: "And I am not a woman..." (Beat, everyone stares at her) "...who can say she's never lied on her résumé either." In "The Extras", a colorful bird attempts to impress what he thought was a female black pigeon with a dance. When the latter reveals that he's male, the former's reaction was more of dismay than surprise. Nevertheless, the pigeon tells the colorful bird to keep dancing. |

Tomo-chan Is a Girl!: In an expanded flashback to the start of middle school, Junnote (who later realizes he would have spotted the truth some time ago had his back-brain been able reconcile 'buddy/rival/sparring partner down the street he was hoping to outstrip' and 'female') responds to Tomo showing up in a girl's uniform with an "Okay bud, you got me" and a playful punch to the chest. Cue "squish" (somebody's mom insisted on her daughter finally getting an actual bra rather than binding herself flat), followed by screaming (entirely on Jun's part, as while Tomo would have slugged anyone else in earnest for that he is fine). | |

Hatsukoi Zombie starts with one: the New Transfer Student in chapter 1 has the same name and face as the girl the protagonist Tarou liked as a child. Turns out he's a very male boy who used to dress as a girl because of his mother's weird tastes. Except not really. She really is a girl, but decided to pass as a guy because she didn't want any more boys to fall in love with her: she can see "first love zombies", and wasn't too fond of seeing multiple, scantily clad versions of herself floating in the air. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders: While posing as a boy aboard Captain Tennille's ship, Anne is revealed to be a girl when she gets knocked overboard and Jotaro jumps in afterward to rescue her from sharks. Upon pulling her out of the water, he accidentally grabs her chest, and then after a very awkward pause between the two, Jotaro takes off her cap to reveal her long hair underneath. Stone Ocean: Anasui's original appearance (in the manga) is as a woman, presumably using Diver Down's internal restructuring ability to give him a disguise to infiltrate the women's prison ward. Later, when she finds out, Ermes is actually pretty surprised to find that Anasui's actually male. Steel Ball Run: Johnny founds out that Hot Pants is a woman by accidentally almost touching her breasts. The JoJoLands: When Dragona is sexually assaulting by an officer, the cop sticks his hand into Dragona's thong and finds out he's a man. Though, it's disturbingly subverted when the cop makes a comment that suggests he's turned on by this. |

The Extended Version of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has a funny example. At the Rivendell dinner party, Kili begins eyeing up some of the elven maidens, causing Dwalin to shoot him a glare. Kili defends himself by saying that elven women aren't that attractive note too thin, creamy skin, high cheekbones and not enough facial hair, but curtly points out that the one walking past him isn't too bad. Dwalin leans in and says "that isn't an elf maid" and the entertainer turns around... Kili has an Oh, Crap! moment as the other dwarves laugh at him. | |

The real Lesley Giles , who has been abducted, is a man who habitually dresses as a woman. After Giles is rescued, "Holmes" and Watson manage to palm Giles off to Lestrade, claiming (truthfully) that Giles "appears on the stage in Paris", in an act called "Les Femmes Faux". | |

In Fate/stay night, there's a reason why Guinevere had that affair with Lancelot, since her husband, King Arthur, aka Saber, turns out to be a woman (and stopped aging at the age of 15), but Guinevere agreed to the marriage as political fiction only, and due to that reason Arthuria never blamed Guinevere nor Lancelot for their romance and was forced to take action against it by her enemies. | |

The play (and subsequent film) M. Butterfly is about a French diplomat who has an affair with a Chinese opera singer, unaware that she is a) a spy for the Chinese government and b) a man in disguise.

In El Goonish Shive, this happens quite a lot when someone's stepped out of their normal gender. Somewhat unusually, it often gets milked for some drama in the process. Justin and Susan almost do something they'd regret later while both gender-bent for Grace's birthday party. Good thing they didn't, since Justin likes guys; things would have gotten awkward once Susan became a woman again. The "Sister" arc was full of this. Minor characters were falling at Elliot's feet, and that's before Ellen took on a life of her own. |

Flea from Chrono Trigger has confused generations of gamers with his/her claim that he/she is actually a guy, despite having obvious cleavage in the artwork. Not to mention the actual heroes, of course. Luckily Flea plays no role whatsoever in the story other than to be a Mini-Boss. It's possible that Flea could, however, be FTM or the result of a magical experiment that stuck him in a female body/gave him breasts. | |

Two and a Half Men: Charlie meets an old flame who has had a sex change and became Bill. He is freaked out by it but eventually comes to terms with the idea until his mother starts dating his ex. And Alan's reaction when he starts seeing the similarities in him and Jill is even funnier: A Running Gag is a certain Noodle Incident where he hit on a woman who later turned out to be a man. And from such statements it was pretty obvious but Charlie was too drunk to notice at the time. |

Iita in Blaze Union. Oh, ye gods, Iita. She's a perfectly adorable little Fille Fatale, cute and squeaky and very girly. Then night falls, and the other half of her Split Personality takes over — the side that is male, brash, Hot-Blooded, and downright thuggish. Her male half cheerfully announces to the stunned women of the game's cast that "oh right, sorry, I forgot to say: I'm a man at night". Equally shocking to people who first see Iita as a male and then realize that what they thought was a boy dressed in girl's clothes is actually still physically female. | |

Final Fantasy V. The leader of a band of pirates called Faris is assumed to be a male due to occupation, but once the party gets halfway through the second dungeon it turns out he is a she. To quote a boss later on in the game, And now we shall fight like men. And women. And women who dress like men. She even occasionally mistaken refers to herself as male. It's clearer in the original Japanese, where gender is reinforced by speech much more than in English. (For example, Japanese has gender-specific first-person pronouns, not that this stops some people.) | |

The first episode of the second series of Blackadder inverts this trope. The episode opens with a beautiful but poor young woman named Kate deciding to disguise herself as a boy to find work and support her ailing father. She finds a job as Edmund's manservant, and the two fall in love over the course of the episode while he tries desperately to cognitively reframe the feelings he's having for another man. The relief he feels when she reveals her true gender is immense. | |

Stardust Crusaders: While posing as a boy aboard Captain Tennille's ship, Anne is revealed to be a girl when she gets knocked overboard and Jotaro jumps in afterward to rescue her from sharks. Upon pulling her out of the water, he accidentally grabs her chest, and then after a very awkward pause between the two, Jotaro takes off her cap to reveal her long hair underneath. | |

High School D×D: When Issei is reminded of a childhood friend of his, he recalls this friend as a boy. He is quite surprised when the friend comes back several years later as an (attractive) girl, though the friend (Irina) laughs it off because she was very tomboyish back then and she could see how he made the mistake. A running gag with Gasper Vladi the vampire, whose manner of dress and speaking makes it very easy for him to be mistaken as a cute girl. |

Doctor Who: At the end of the 1999 Comic Relief Affectionate Parody Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death, the Doctor regenerates into Joanna Lumley. His companion and fiancée Emma is disappointed as with him being "Not the man I fell in love with". The Master, on the other hand… "The End of the World": Lady Cassandra, the self-proclaimed "Last Human," casually mentions at one point that she was born a boy on Earth. Given Cassandra's status as a plastic surgery addict who was at that point nothing more than a face on skin stretched into a frame attached to a Brain in a Jar, though, you have to wonder if all concept of gender had disappeared by her time. "Spyfall": While talking to O, Graham is surprised to learn that the Thirteenth Doctor's claims about whole-body regeneration and having previously been a man weren't made in jest. |

Song at Dawn: It happened to Estela and Dragonetz individually concerning the same person: Sanchez, one of Alienor's Ladies in Waiting. Dragonetz was crusading and saw some thugs about to rape a woman after killing her husband. They ripped open her dress and the surprise they found was great enough for Dragonetz to kill them with ease. Discovering the same thing was part of Estela's 'initation', so to speak, into Dragonetz' inner circle. |

Jan Suk in Monster starts confiding in a cute blonde girl he met at a bar. Not only is she actually a man, but she's Johan, who had been impersonating his twin sister as part of a plot to make her question her sanity, and his disguise and behavior were convincing enough that even the audience doesn't suspect the truth. The eventual reveal has caused anime clubs to riot. | |

On the adoptable petsite Valenth, one of the NPCs is the person of intelligible gender of the week, Elliot Christoph. Considering many of the humanoid NPCs are like this, and all of them as such are men (plus the masculine name), many of the users expected Elliot to end up being male, referring to her as Sir Christoph and such. Elliot later is referred to as being female about twenty pages into the thread. The real kicker was the fact that she never bothered correcting them once. Lady looks like a dude indeed. | |

Sexy Losers loves playing with this trope. Most notable is one comic in which a man picks up a woman with short hair at a bar, only to take her home and discover she is a woman, but he's gay and he thought he was hitting on a man to begin with. Would that be a booby trap? Another Sexy Losers strip has one guy get a pregnancy scare from his girlfriend ("I'm not on the pill"), only for her to reveal she used to be a man. Another has a man approach a suicidal woman whom he asks for a BJ before she jumps. After the act, he asks why she was going to jump. Turns out her parents disowned him for dressing up like a woman. So the guy jumps before the cross-dresser does. This was later revealed to be jumping to conclusions in a guest comic that both of her parents are crossdressers who are angry that their daughter isn't. And a final one has a subway groper realize this. It ends up with the "and that's how you were born" Running Gag. |

Pokémon: The Series: In the anime, Brock wound up subverting this on one occasion. He knew something was wrong when a ridiculously sexy scientist didn't make him delusional. Turned out to be a man in disguise working for Team Magma. In a later episode, he identifies the same disguised man out of two otherwise indistinguishable Jennies by the same lack of a Raging Stiffie. And then later he accidentally hits on Harley. He also failed to realize that Anabel was a Bifauxnen: Brock also sometimes falls for Ash whenever he dressed up as a girl. An example between Pokémon: Meowth and Ash's Oshawott both fall for a Purrloin (who take their attraction to his advantage and hid his gender). The expressions on their faces following the surprise revelation are priceless. The pairing name for this Purrloin/Meowth became, appropriately enough, Bridgetshipping. |

This happens to Riku Seya, a classmate of the Nitori's older sister Maho and her eventual boyfriend. Seya saw Nitori dressed as a girl and became infatuated, and convinced Maho to set them up. A future date at the aquarium turns into a rather shocking revelation which is not helped by a friend of Nitori's, "Mako-chan" (no, not that one) also revealing herself as biologically male. Seya is left rather confused by it all but they eventually become friends. | |

It's mentioned in Tailchaser's Song that neutered males can be mistaken for females. One legend told is of the legendary Firefoot having met the most gorgeous female he's ever seen, only to find out that Windflower is actually a neutered tom. He's especially horrified when he learns that humans can "defile" cats and turn them androgynous. | |

In Ensemble Stars!, Kaoru first encounters Souma at a live music venue, and when he sees his long ponytail, immediately gets excited at the prospect of meeting a 'black-haired Japanese beauty'. He calls out to him, but realises his mistake as soon as Souma starts talking, and tries to back out of the situation immediately out of embarrassment. Souma, however, has no idea why Kaoru approached him and is distinctly offended when Kaoru instantly turns cold to him, but his attempts to figure out what Kaoru wants from him only have him even more flustered and defensive. This, naturally, rather sets their relationship off on the wrong foot. It doesn't help that Souma doesn't approve of Kaoru's womanising in general - or that, even after learning that he's a man, Kaoru still seems to find him beautiful, musing in one conversation that Souma's hair 'really is silky' and that his figure from behind is 'deceptive'. | |

In All Men of Genius, the revelation that "Ashton" is actually Violet (having disguised herself in order to attend the men-only scientific academy she's at) comes as rather a shock to the two people romantically entangled with him/her, though both get over it. Violet's non-romantic friends are pretty relaxed about it. | |

Done in a two part episode of South Park when Cartman, who's stuck in the future (long story, basically one of his usual schemes backfired), calls back to the past to reach Mr. Garrison who's recently had a sex change operation. Garrison is currently having sex with Richard Dawkins, Dawkins is the one to answer the phone and Cartman lets slip that Garrison is a post-Op. Needless to say Dawkins is repulsed. Not only that but by revealing this, it completely changes the futureExplanationBecause Dawkins' relationship with Garrison was the catalyst for that Bad Future to begin with. | |

Fairly common in the Chakona Space setting considering how many characters are Hermaphrodites. Perhaps the most notable example being when Garrek and Chakat Goldfur first started seeing each other and he spotted hir male parts and freaked. Though Garrek later apologized, saying he should have looked up Chakats on the net and realized that they were herms, and they got back together, so far they've got two cubs by one another. | |

DEVILMAN crybaby: Ryo/Satan reveals a fully male and female body when he adopts his beautiful, angelic true form. Since angels are both sexes and since this is Netflix we get to see the dick and everything. Of course, the characters (and possibly viewer) have too much on their mind at this point to really say anything so it goes unremarked on for the whole show. | |

As you can guess by its title, Victor/Victoria provides a few perfect examples of the reverse of this. The one that stands out most is when Victoria, dressed as Victor, pulls Norma into a bedroom and acts as if she wants to have sex with her. Norma later bursts out of the room and proceeds to yell angrily at her ex(?)-boyfriend (who is now dating Victoria) that Victor is a woman. | |

Wandering Son: This happens to Riku Seya, a classmate of the Nitori's older sister Maho and her eventual boyfriend. Seya saw Nitori dressed as a girl and became infatuated, and convinced Maho to set them up. A future date at the aquarium turns into a rather shocking revelation which is not helped by a friend of Nitori's, "Mako-chan" (no, not that one) also revealing herself as biologically male. Seya is left rather confused by it all but they eventually become friends. The series has had a few instances of the rare Transmasculine case too. For example, Shiina originally mistakes his (adult) girlfriend to be cheating with Takatsuki. He grabs his groin but notices he's biologically female. After it all clears up, Takatsuki and Shiina become good friends. On the first day of middle school Chizuru goes to school in a gakuran and is mistaken for a boy until her best friend berates a girl for doing so. Chi often screws with the schools uniform code, be it wearing a tie instead of a ribbon or just outright crossdressing. It's implied that Yuki knew Takatsuki was a trans boy, but she didn't realize Nitori was a trans girl. Neither of the two knew Yuki was a trans woman. The characters get a bit surprised at the reveals. |

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun: Wakamatsu is subject to this in Chapter 45. While spending time with the girls while they're swimsuit shopping, he assumes that Kashima is a boy (and didn't like him because of it), and it isn't until the very end that he's informed otherwise. The stinger of episode 8 of the anime reveals that this happened to Hori, with regards to Kashima. When they first met, Hori assumed that Kashima was a boy, despite the obvious signs indicating otherwise, like that she wears a skirt with her uniform. It wasn't until he saw her head to use the girls' bathroom that he realized she was a girl. Up until then, he has treated her like a buddy kohai. |

Needless to say, said ursine friend is moving to kick Joel's ass when he finds out the truth of Nicole's gender. |

Fire Emblem: Awakening: In Japan, Sissy Villain Excellus uses female pronouns to the disgust of the other characters. Unsurprisingly the localizers removed this. Averted with Lucius's expy Libra. He mentions after being called a sister by Chrom that he's actually a priest. When he apologizes, he mentions that it could have been awkward. Very awkward. Very Very awkward. Unsurprisingly, Chrom tells him to stop. ("God give me strength. Even the Queen's brother confused me for a woman.") Things indeed become funny and awkward in Libra's supports with Virion, who continues to flatter his beauty even after finding out he's a man. And he's also mistaken as a woman by at least one potential girlfriend/wife. See his C support with Sully... who, ironically, is one of the tomboys of the cast. And in Libra's solo ending, it's explicitly said that he both built an Orphanage of Love and was asked out by both guys and girls. It might be a trap for players to trap players who are expecting a "trap", but there is a masked young man who claims to be Marth and backs it up by wielding Marth's legendary sword, the Falchion. People are already very aware of Marth's gender at this point, right...? Turns out, this "Marth" is an imposter... and a girl. Yeah. Marth is a Girl, and a very beautiful one too.) (You may now Squee). In fact, according to the promotional manga, in-story this took place sooner than we thought... Remember that Lon'qu was defeated by "Marth"? One of the reasons is that, during their fight, Lon'qu accidentally bumped head-first into Marth's chest and realised that his opponent was a woman. Since Lon'qu has a bad case of gynophobia due to his Dark and Troubled Past, well... |

Family Guy: In "To Love and Die in Dixie", Chris spends the episode making friends with a new Alabamian neighbor named Sam, but by the third act, he realizes Sam is actually a girl (who wasn't even trying to mislead Chris, she's just fairly androgynous and Chris didn't catch on). The "unsettled" part comes not from sexual squick, but rather because Chris in general gets very nervous when talking to girls, and thus he takes a while to build up the confidence to speak to her again. In one episode, Peter and the guys are sitting around drinking and talking about who they would sleep with if they could have any woman in the world. Quagmire says Taylor Hanson. Quagmire tends to get this trope fairly often. In one episode, Brian gets a job as a drug-sniffing dog for the police. He demonstrates his skill to Quagmire, who just got off a plane from Manila, by sniffing him and correctly guessing everything he did within the past day or so. In a similar vein, Brian, on the way home from a convention, goes to a hotel bar, meets up with a woman (who the audience knows the identity of), and they intellectually hit it off. After quite a few drinks he goes back to her room, and the next day is telling Stewie about his conquest...only to find that the woman he was with had all the correct parts now, but just a couple days ago was Quagmire's father; the main plot of the episode is the man going through a sex change operation and how everyone around was dealing with it. |

The Filipino song "Chiksilog" note a portmanteu of CHIcK (in the girl sense), SInangag (Fried rice) and ItLOG (egg, specifically a sunny sideup); [Viand Name]silog is a popular meal in the country. Culturally translated, it effectively means "A Chick with eggs". by Kamikazee is about a Ragnarok Online player's reaction to finding out the hard way that the "girl" his character hangs out with a lot turns out to be a Cross Player. | |

Used, of course, in Liberty Meadows. Dean goes to a bar and sees someone who, from behind, appears to be a lovely long-haired lady. He proceeds to crudely offer to play some "tonsil hockey" with her before discovering that "she" is in fact a long-haired man. | |

Kimino from Boku to Boku is asked out on a date by a shy looking girl named Asou. She doesn't like girls but goes anyway. At the end of the date Asou is revealed to be a boy when Kimino accidentally sees him peeing in the bushes, though the other Wholesome Crossdresser Yuuki says he already guessed it. Asou transfers to Kimino's school but is an Abhorrent Admirer because Kimino likes her other friend, Josei, and because Asou is a Covert Pervert. | |

Rurouni Kenshin: Villainous Crossdresser Kamatari drops this on his opponent Misao (and everyone defending the Aoiya as well) quite dramatically, complete with pixellated naughty bits. Note that particular scene was only in the manga; in the anime he does reveal his gender too, but without flashing anything. Kenshin himself often causes this with viewers, and the fact that he's voiced by a woman in the original Japanese makes it worse (and legend has it that the character designer for Guilty Gear first came up with the character Baiken after making this mistake) and he's in fact based on a historical samurai, Kawakami Gensai, who used his feminine appearance to get close to his targets and even managed to assassinate a man in broad daylight. He even hid out in a brothel at one point after an assassination. |

An episode of Diagnosis: Murder plays this straight (as it were). The victim was a trans woman, and Steve had been flirting with her before she was killed. To the show's credit, the victim was portrayed as a sympathetic character and none of the main characters freaked out about it. In fact, she was killed by her former military buddy because he was squicked, and the murderer is portrayed as a Jerkass. | |

Sailor Moon: In the first anime Minako manages to nonchalantly gush over Haruka a few times well after everyone else was clued in to her being a girl. In the Stars season, Minako, who had been a total fangirl over the boy band the Three Lights, states that all her love for them has disappeared after finding out they were really girls in disguise. She could have also been trying to lighten the mood since Usagi was hurt that people she viewed as friends (mainly Seiya) had kept such a secret from them. In an early episode of the anime's R season, Mamoru and Usagi team up to take care of a baby named Manami whose mother is hospitalised after an attack from the Monster of the Week. When they change the baby's diapers, it turns out Manami is a boy and not a girl; he has a Gender-Blender Name and had been referred to with gender-neutral pronouns. (The dubs generally handle it by referring to the baby as a girl first, and then as a boy.) |

Catherine: Erica is actually a trans woman. However, Vincent, Orlando and Jonny are aware of it, and there are several hints dropped over the course of the game before the actual reveal. It's only this trope to Toby, who lost his virginity to her. In the Updated Re-release, Vincent accidentally discovers that Qatherine/"Rin" is a Wholesome Crossdresser. Vincent's shocked reaction is played for drama; he panics and slaps Qatherine's hand away. While he immediately regrets it, he's unable to apologize in time to prevent Qatherine from running away in tears. If you choose to pursue a relationship with them, Vincent will quickly fix his mistake and eventually realize that Rin is the only one with whom he feels he can truly be himself around. He'll admit that gender doesn't matter him, basically outing himself as bisexual to his friends and the rest of the patrons at The Stray Sheep. Near the end, he even shuts down Mutton's homophobic ranting with a heartfelt Kirk Summation. In the True Ending, it's revealed that Rin is actually from a race of Angelic Aliens whose human form is that of an androgynous male. But by that point, it doesn't matter to Vincent; they get Happily Married and go on a music tour in outer space! |

Kamen Rider Double: The heroes use Wakana as bait to attract the Liar Dopant. Of course they couldn't really put Wakana in the line of fire. It's Philip in a dress and wig. Also Akiko is one of the male-seeming bodyguards. In Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum, Kamen Rider Wizard meets a beautiful young woman while inside her Underworldnote the "mental realm" all people possess and they seem attracted to each other; when he gets back to the real world, the young woman is revealed to be the Camp Gay owner of Haruto's favorite donut shop. While there are elements of the trope's pure form (the Owner says "When I was younger, I was often mistaken for a girl"), for Haruto it's more of an Unsettling Identity Reveal. |

The protagonist of "Obey Me," Jinyoo, develops a crush on the girl he's imprisoned alongside, Hanya, while they're both held captive by Jinyoo's Yandere captor, Gyuh-Wool. While rifling through some boxes in the room they're trapped in, Jinyoo finds that one of them is full of pads that Gyuh-Wool put there for Hanya in case she got her period, but when Jinyoo shows her, she becomes sullen and says that she should be having her period, but isn't. Jinyoo internally panics, thinking that maybe Gyuh-Wool raped and impregnated her in the two weeks she was alone with him, but she tearfully admits that she's Transgender and was afraid of telling Jinyoo in case he would shun and bully her for it like everyone else. He's distraught at first and calls her names, but quickly apologizes when he realizes that he's in love with her nonetheless. | |

Happens to Herb Tarlek on WKRP in Cincinnati twice (sort of): In one episode, Herb starts flirting with a woman who claims she knew him in high school. While making out with her, he learns he did know her in high school... before she had the operation. She was a teammate of his on the high school football team, in fact the center to Herb's quarterback. To say Herb had a case of the Squick is putting it mildly. In an earlier episode, the trope is invoked and subverted by Johnny. To get Herb to stop hitting on Jennifer, he tells Herb "Our receptionist, the beautiful Jennifer Marlowe, is a result of the most cunningly successful sex change operation in the United States!" The ploy works... sort of. |
