* This is Francis the male ladybug's shtick in {{ABugsLife}} he has a very feminine face but has a very masculine voice, this is lampshaded a couple of times like when we first meet him two bugs in the audience start hitting on him when he performs then he starts yelling at them that just because he's a ladybug doesn't automatically mean he's a girl.

* BadassLonghair (when the dude just has long hair, but is still unmistakably male)

-->When he joined he group, I heard mad cats like, "Yo, Shalamar got a new girl in there, man, bitch fine like a motherfucker." They was talking about Mickey Free, man, okay? Mickey Free is not a girl."

* Lady Bat from ''{{Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch}}''. His name doesn't help and there are hints that show that he is really a guy. But of course, tha fans are divided between the ones who claims that he is a guy, the ones who claims that he is a girl and the ones who doesn't care...

* Maki in ''DarkerThanBlack''.

* Shuuichi Niitori from ''HourouMusuko'' is a boy who is effeminate to the point that a hairband alone causes a door-to-door salesman to refer to him as "miss."

** Jean Armstrong is an...odd, example. He's obviously male due to his beard and muscular arms, but his nature is so dainty and feminine that the judge actually asks him whether he's a woman.

** Alois in the second season. Many [[http://www.google.com.pe/#hl=es&source=hp&q=alois+ trancy+ girl&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=69490d30678615ec people]] thought he was a 'female' master at first and many people started making theories about him being a 'trap' or dressing like a male until the first episode aired.

* [[http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7799/rogertaylormr3.png Roger Taylor]] of {{Queen}} fell victim to this trope so often that he [[http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/65768/Roger+ Taylor.jpg cut his hair in an attempt to avert it]].

* Fujiwara no Sai from ''HikaruNoGo''. [[http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/08b36402aabde180c3d23fb24309b3351241281944_full.png And]] [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/th/c/cc/Fujiwara_No_Sai.jpg how.]]

** He also has a female voice in the english dub of the first anime.
** And in the original Japanese of the first anime.

* Frequently done in Kaori Yuki manga, not just in terms of art, but as part of the storyline-

* Naoi Ayato in ''AngelBeats''.

** Lithuania and Poland (the latter being a {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}) will often be mistaken for girls by new fans/people who don't know the series. An amusing comment on the [[http://lietpol-club.deviantart.com/ PolandxLithuania group on Deviantart]] remarks on this:
---> '''Person 1:''' Are they lesbians?

--->'''Person 2: '''* mind fucked* o.o

* Hibiki Tokai from ''{{Vandread}}'' was mistaken for a young girl once by another man

* WordofGod says that Yumi Hotta of ''HikaruNoGo'' had to inform her western translators of their mistake when one of them printed a preview of the next issue referring to Sai as "she".

* [[http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o128/666Deathstars_Cat66/Negative/msg-115791280937.jpg Jonne Aaron]], singer of the Finnish band Negative. Quite possibly more feminine than Kaulitz.

* Besides the TroperNamer, there's also the Killers song "Somebody Told Me"[[hottip:*: "that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year"]].

* Daisuke Niwa from ''DNAngel''. He was made to dress up as the princess in a play and made a ''very'' convincing girl with just a wig and dress.
