Wick check of RaisedAsTheOppositeGender, after seeing several examples of people copying over examples of trans characters after transgender was made a useful notes page instead of a trope.
Correct use: a character is deliberately raised by its guardians as the opposite gender than its sex would have indicated. (aka, raising an AFAB character as a boy, an AMAB character as a girl)
[[folder: Correct use]]
# Characters.UminekoWhenTheyCrySpoilers: Implied. It's shown that Sayo was raised as a girl and there are several hints that she may in fact have been designated male at birth. The Episode 8 manga skews heavily towards this interpretation.
# IRejectYourReality.AnimeAndManga: In ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', Mr. Fujinami WantedASonInstead so badly that not only has he ''forcibly'' '''[[RaisedAsTheOppositeGender raised his daughter Ryunosuke as a boy]]''', but he's even convinced '''himself''' that she's actually a boy.
# Characters.DororoMainCharacters: [[spoiler:Dororo is a girl, but wasn't even aware of it. His parents raised him as a boy that way and didn't tell him otherwise.]]
# Characters.ImInLoveWithTheVillainess: [[spoiler:She had a twin brother who died as a baby, then her mother decided to have her infected with a gender-bender disease and raised as a prince in order to gain political power.]]
# Literature.PatienceAndSarah: Since age nine, Sarah's been raised as if she was a boy. Her dad only had daughters and wanted a surrogate son, so he decided to raise his tallest daughter like a son. Sarah even often refers to herself as a boy.
# HeirClubForMen: This is why Ryuunosuke Fujinami was RaisedAsTheOppositeGender in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''; her father was obsessed with the idea that only a ''boy'' could be a worthy heir to his family legacy of... running a ratty little beachside store. This is used for roughly equal parts comedy and to paint Mr. Fujinami as [[AbusiveParents creepy and insane]].
# Recap.InsideNo9S6E4HurryUpAndWait: That's what James believes has happened to Ryan/Bev in order to conceal his identity. Turns out James was ''completely'' mistaken.
# Characters.HowIMetYourMotherMainCharacters: Her father raised her as a boy until she was 16.
# Literature.TheWaspFactory: The twist. [[spoiler:Frank is really a girl.]]
# TabletopGame.WarhammerFantasyRoleplay: Marquis Frederic Desfleuve, ruler of Castle Desfleuve in Gisoreux. Her mother died giving birth to her, and her father was too heartbroken to ever remarry, so he raised her as a man. She's proven to be an extremely capable lord, and so far the only problem with it is that she doesn't have an heir, and can't exactly produce one without giving her secret away (something that would cause a ton of trouble, as women can't be knights, wear men's clothing, inherit land, etc.).
# Characters.QueensBladeRebellionCharacters: Her parents hid her real gender and presented her to the world as the heir to the Margrave Kreuz, "Alphonse".
# Fanfic/{{Overlady}}: [[spoiler:Kirche and all of her sisters. Their Father is a very powerful (both personally and politically), self-centered (and[=/=]or incredibly stupid) man with extremely sexist views on women who had no luck siring (legitimate) sons, so he raised his daughters as sons, and considers the female gender as a flaw they can ''actually grow out of''. Kirche didn't even know she was a girl until she was 9.]]
# Recap.TheNostalgiaCriticS2E2: He went through being RaisedAsTheOppositeGender for an unknown length of time.
# Theatre.PrinceKaguya: Maru and Akahoshi raise Kaguya as a girl for his safety at his mother's request.
# Characters.PrincessKnight: She is known as ''Prince'' Sapphire because it was the only way to keep the kingdom out of the evil Duke Duralumin's hands.
# Characters.KonoSubaSupportingCharacters: It's later revealed what her FreudianExcuse is: she's '''[[ReallyRoyaltyReveal secretly a princess]]''' and her parents [[RaisedAsTheOppositeGender raised her as a boy]], since they expected one for their firstborn heir. This ended up attracting bullies who picked on her for her short height, unbecoming of someone who was supposedly male.
# Creator.JacquelineWilson: In ''The Diamond Girls'', the main character's mother tries to raise her new baby girl as a boy; having been convinced while she was pregnant that she would finally have a son this time (she already has four daughters.) She does get found out and agree to stop the charade.
# Characters.SumomoMoMomoMo: Tragic due to the fact that, due to how they were raised, they didn't even know their biological sex until someone outside of their family told them.

# Characters.TheLegendOfZeldaBookOfTheTraitor: He's a transman who was christened Zelda at birth and only began living as a man within the last couple years. He has been on hormone replacement therapy for about half a year at the start of the comic.
