Working Title: Mistaken for Female?: From YKTTW
Claire89: Why do people include their own real-life examples? I'm sorry, but this isn't story-time. This is about male characters in fictional media who are mistaken by other characters for women.
Sciatrix: Launch a Troper Tales entry, then. I'd do it, but I have no idea how to and I'm too lazy to look it up.
Spider: Some of these entries would better appear under Viewer Gender Confusion. This trope here deals with men who are mistaken for female by fellow characters, not by viewers.
bluepenguin: For the above reason, removed the Dorothy of Oz and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann examples.
Spider: Removed Mrs. Doubtfire example and
Eponymous Kid: Okay, wow, does the dude in the page picture not look like a lady, like, at all. This page seriously needs a new picture, like, super immediately, you know?
Ecliptor Calrissian: Hey, he looks like a woman... just not a very pretty one.
Twe Twe: The quote does say, "... and his ugly girlfriend..."
Headfullofimaginary: We could use a new picture. I say this because there are probably better fitting pictures of that person.
Citizen: For the sake of getting that picture
◊ out of the way, here's one of Alto.
◊ Any better?
Soushi Okita in Peacemaker Kurogane actually dresses like his sister, who is a more effective spy. I really can't say more until I figure out how to put spoiler tags in here.
- Asexuality: WHEN YOU'RE JUST *THAT* UGLY (i remember following wikipedia to some weird forum, photos were a total freakshow...)
Sciatrix: Really? Good god, I can't have been the first asexual editor to see this and get offended. May I suggest that the editor in question take this opportunity to screw itself?
Removed these examples, because these are Viewer Gender Confusion. It's in the damn article, people.
- Cecil after becoming a Paladin in the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV looks creepily feminine. The fact that his voice sounds like a 14-year-old boy's doesn't help.
- There is a piece of artwork for the DS version in which barely any character looks male. You honestly, honestly would not think that Edward/Gilbart was a man.
- While a part of his chest is clearly visible, this troper recalls a friend asking "Please tell me that's a man" when seeing Yuri for the first time and being horrified when he opened his mouth and a very masculine voice came out. Worse, this straight and male troper got some Stupid Sexy Flanders moments out of Yuri.
