* ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'': Inverted in one strip. Because SexyDimorphism applies to every species but humans (varied males, humanoid females), they're considered androgynous in the same way humans view elves as {{Elfeminate}}. The only difference human men have, according to a group of monsters commenting on the phenomenon, are that they're considered on par with unattractive women of their species, which makes them as a species disturbing to look at.

* In the ''Literature/PrinceRoger'' series the marines assume that the physically larger of the Mardukan genders is male since most of them don't wear clothes so their [[GagPenis rather large equipment]] is quite obvious and the physically smaller gender are the ones who carry the offspring to term. However in a later book the doctor takes some time to do a proper physiological study and realizes that the "penis" in question is actually an ovipositer. So medically speaking the gender with the ovipositers are female while the gender that carries the babies is [[MisterSeahorse male]]. After a bit of confusion the marines decide to just stick to their original definitions since the distinction is mostly arbitrary anyway and it's easier than trying to reprogram the translators.

A situation, usually played for comedy, in which a member of one species or race has difficulty distinguishing the genders or sexes of another. This usually serves to demonstrate the lack of familiarity between them, but is sometimes done mockingly to indicate the one failing to tell the difference is inept or unobservant. The confused one may complain that their subjects "all look alike", which [[DittoAliens might be true, if only because of budgetary limits]].
