A {{Crossdress|er}}ing character whose choice of attire is played for weirdness, for creepiness, for {{Squick}}, simply for shock value, or to show that he (and it's virtually [[AlwaysMale always "he"]]) is evil or deranged. While the look of the WholesomeCrossdresser tends to gloss over the dissonance between genders, this trope often calls attention to it. Often, this crossdresser exaggerates TertiarySexualCharacteristics without bothering to cover up secondary ([[FullFrontalAssault or primary]]) ones. MakeUpIsEvil is often involved. Frequently, the [[UnfortunateImplications unfortunate implication]] is that crossdressing is, in itself, creepy, but it may simply be one aspect of a character who's ''generally'' creepy.

* Fish Eye from ''Manga/SailorMoon'' has shades of this, though is clearly intended to appeal to the fetish. As the other villains disguise themselves, the HandWave is dressing as a woman is simply a ''modus operandi'' to cover the [[CastSpeciation left over type of victims -- males]] -- as Hawks Eye targeted older women and Tigers Eye targeted younger women. He actually dresses as a male for a specific mission (targeting gay fashion designer Yoshiki Usui), and while exclusively using ''male'' pronouns when in circus attire, will only use ''feminine'' pronouns when disguised. Ironically, his femininity seems to make him [[WomenAreWiser closer to Earth]], and he has the first HeelFaceTurn of the season.

* ''LightNovel/AscendanceOfABookworm'' has Justus, a SeekerArchetype who has channeled his great hunger for information and willingness to go to great lengths to obtain it into doing spy work. Since he lives in a society in which gender segregation is far from being absent, there are some places he can't go without making use of DisguisedInDrag. If his willingness to do so gets any in-universe comment, it's treated as one of his bigger quirks among the laundry list he has accumulated in the midst prioritizing information gathering over several social norms. One of such comments comes from the protagonist, who switches from not wanting Justus in her orphanage without their shared CloudcuckoolandersMinder to watch him to not wanting him inside it at all when he seriously offers to cross-dress to avoid making the DoesNotLikeMen adult residents of the girl's building uneasy.

Sometimes coincides with both TransEqualsGay and DepravedHomosexual, for a lethal combination of stereotypes. May overlap with DisguisedInDrag (or, very rarely, its DistaffCounterpart, SweetPollyOliver) if the character adopts a crossdressing disguise more often than seems strictly necessary and/or enjoys it. Also may overlap with FanDisservice. For the opposite, see WholesomeCrossdresser. See also SissyVillain.
