* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'': Bullet the squirrel from "Stray Bullet" is all but stated to be this. In addition to having an ambiguous-looking face like the girls, Blossom and Bubbles refer to Bullet with female pronouns while Buttercup thinks it's a boy. Lampshaded during the DebatingNames segment:
-->'''Buttercup:''' Well, how do you know it's a girl?\\
'''Blossom:''' How do ''[[NoYou you]]'' know it's a boy?

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Soos and the real girl", there was a part where Soos is trying to figure out the gender of a goth at the mall. [[ViewerGenderConfusion "So you're probably a girl, right? Wrong? Nah, I was right. Wrong?"]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': Despite being male in the books, Rusty was never referred to by gender-specific pronouns in the TV series and had a rather ambiguous-looking face and persona. This led to... [[ShesAManInJapan interesting]] results when new writers were brought into the series.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'':
** [[Characters/TheOwlHouseTheCollector The Collector]] is referred to with masculine pronouns by Philip, who has yet to meet them at the time, and has an androgynous voice, though "Hollow Mind" implies that they're (at least physically and a bit mentally) a child, so the voice makes sense. Dana later revealed [[https://twitter.com/DanaTerrace/status/1517899273148538885 in a tweet]] that the Collector uses he/him and they/them pronouns.
** Malingale the Mysterious Soothsayer from ''The Good Witch Azura'' is never referred to by any gendered pronouns, and they look vaguely masculine the one time we see them in a piece of self-insert romance fanart [[LipstickLesbian Amity]] drew. The closest thing we get to confirmation on their gender is Dana saying that they're not "necessarily" a boy, which considering how LGBT friendly the series is could point to literally anything aside from cis or trans male.

Gender Reveal is an index and indexes can't be linked anywhere besides other indexes and trope descriptions (when appropriate).


* The caterpillar in Disney's WesternAnimation/PlutoThePup short "WesternAnimation/SpringtimeForPluto", who first seems to sing with a deep voice, which is later revealed to be a gag because it was underground and its voice was echoing through the tunnel, because once it emerges, its voice is very high-pitched and falsetto. However, during its TransformationSequence, it again sings in a deep bass, though its mouth is never shown to move in sync with the words so it's questionable whether the caterpillar is even singing the song at this point. However since when it finishes its metamorphosis and emerges as a SpicyLatina [[HumanoidFemaleAnimal butterfly]], this could be a case of [[GenderReveal was female]] [[ViewerGenderConfusion all along]] or a GenderBender.

'''A Administrivia/{{No Recent Examples|please}} rule applies to this trope'''. Examples for episodic works shouldn't be added until '''end of season''' for the season introducing the ambiguity (or after '''3 months''', for episodic works without seasons). This is to allow time for the story to develop the character and resolve ambiguity. There is no waiting time for non-episodic works.
