History Main / AttractiveBentGender

* ''Film/TheSkinILiveIn'': [[spoiler:Vera]] is a man, but looks very beautiful female after his forced sex reassignment. Zeca and Robert are both very attracted to him.

* In ''Literature/OnlySenseOnline'', Yun's DigitalAvatar in the titular {{MMORPG}} is a very beautiful girl, a result of the game system [[DudeLooksLikeALady misidentifying his sex]] and generating a female avatar for him.

* In ''Anime/{{Heroman}}'', when Joey is forced to cross dress in episode 20 it comes as [[ViewerGenderConfusion no]] [[DudeLooksLikeALady surprise]] that he makes an attractive looking girl. What does come as a surprise is that so does his best friend Psy, after taming his wild shock of hair.
* In ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', [[MoeAnthropomorphism Italy]] is captured by [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo the]] [[TheAlliance Allies]] after he hits on a pretty girl, who takes him prisoner. The 'girl' in question is actually a very male [[{{Bishonen}} France]] [[DisguisedInDrag in disguise]].

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Ivankov. ''Dear Lord''. When Ivankov is a man he is ugly, and [[{{Gonk}} barely even human-looking]]. When he is a woman she is beautiful. Why? Because your painfully forced DesignatedGirlFight wouldn't be complete without two attractive girls duking it out! His powers lets him control ''anything'' about a person's body, be it [[VoluntaryShapeshifting himself]] [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting or anyone else]] by controlling hormones, so if he wanted to he could probably have changed into an unattractive woman, an attractive man, or a freaking goat. Hell, his power is probably how he has his usual appearance of a vaguely bowling-pin shaped giant. He defeated a man in a fight by turning him both body and mind into that of a woman's.

** The gods Odin and Thor have been able to pass themselves off as women. While the fact that ''Thor and Odin'' make attractive women may make one wonder [[Creator/BrianBlessed what the hell women looked like in the Northlands]], Thor's disguise as a woman makes a lot of sense, when you look at the symbolism behind the story. The Jotun steal his hammer and hide it. As the price for returning it, they want Freyja in exchange. She is none too pleased by the Aesir's willingness to sell her down the river for Thor's hammer. The hammer is more than just a hammer, and so, with his *ahem* giant-bashing stick taken away, Thor is metaphorically a woman. Interesting guys, the old Norse. (Yes, this does mean [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog the hammer is]] [[DontExplainTheJoke his penis]].)

* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'': Dimitri Maximov has a [[{{Combos}} super move]] called "Midnight Bliss", which changes attractive (or even unattractive) male or female characters into attractive females. His appearance in ''SNK vs Capcom: Chaos'' [[MemeticMutation spawned a fanart industry]] consisting of female versions of male video game characters, who are referred to as being "Midnight Blissed". Spoofed in a ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'' hentai doujin where Dimitri uses the move on Hauzer from ''VideoGame/RedEarth'', which turns the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' into... a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in a SailorFuku with GagBoobs. Cue a {{Squick}}ed-out Dimitri backing away at full speed.

** The comic now has a favourite [[JustifiedTrope justification]]: [[ChivalrousPervert Tedd]] [[MadScientist designs]] the forms, and [[InvokedTrope he sees no reasons to make more ugly people]].

* ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' did a Literature/SherlockHolmes spoof where Simon played Sherlock, Theodore played Dr. Watson and Alvin played Moriarty. In one scene, Holmes (Simon) disguises himself as a Cockney bar wench and was able to fool Watson (Theodore) enough that he came on to him. Because there [[HoYay isn't enough]] [[IncestSubtext subtext]] in that relationship already, [[DiscountLesbians chipmunks]] or otherwise.

* ''LightNovel/BladedanceOfElementalers'': Kamito was once know as Ren Ashbell, the Strongest Blade Dancer. Approximately 90% of the female world population appears to have been lesbian for him, and most of them still are. He does not find this amusing.

* ''LightNovel/No6'': As his local theatre was swift to notice, [[DudeLooksLikeALady Nezumi]] makes a ''really'' good-looking woman.
* In ''LightNovel/OnlySenseOnline'', Yun's DigitalAvatar in the titular {{MMORPG}} is a very beautiful girl, a result of the game system [[DudeLooksLikeALady misidentifying his sex]] and generating a female avatar for him.

%%* ''LightNovel/DaybreakOnHyperion'': Happens to co-protagonist Kaede, as the spell that caused the gender change in the first place was ''very'' specific in the physical parameters.%%Explain what happens.

* ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'': The "[[http://www.itswalky.com/d/20031109.html Anomalie]]" storyline has Joyce and Walky swap genders. Joe, thinking that "Walkie" is one of the "frozen natives," [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/20031124.html grabs her ass]]. Tony mistakes her for Sal (which considering that they're HalfIdenticalTwins, is understandable). When everything returns to normal, Robin reveals that [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/20031224.html she wanted to kiss "Jayce"]].

* The Creator/Terrytoons short "Dinky Duck: The Beauty Shop" sees a buzzard dressing himself as female bird which the rooster going heads-over-heels for him. This was the plan so the hens would go jealous and go inside a beauty saloon the buzzard prepared and traps the rooster and the hens inside. Luckily, the titular Dinky Duck manages to defeat the bussard.

* ''VisualNovel/KiraKira'': Poor, poor Shika. He's [[DraggedIntoDrag forced into drag]] once in tenth grade and was ''so'' cute that a guy fell in love with him. His childhood friend brings this up to their fellow (female) bandmates, who decide to get out his wig and force him to dress up as a girl. Much hilarity is had. [[TemptingFate Shika swears never to crossdress again]]--but then he has to dress up as a girl to get into a friend's house because of her [[OverprotectiveDad overprotective grandfather]]. And [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Kirari]] continues to force him into drag for concerts and her general amusement. One thing leads to another, and Shika spends about a third of the game forced into women's clothing and a wig. Even in the sequel, for the return of the original d2b, his fellow ex-band members conspire against him to crossdress once more for their last performance.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'': Kid Flash can't help but find Miss Martian attractive when she assumes the shape of a female version of himself.

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Matsuri was turned into a girl one day before starting high school, and pretty quickly gets a lot of looks for his large breasts and curvy figure. His still-masculine personality [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon keeps away]] most of the guys, but their staring and occasional advances are one of the few things he [[GenderBenderAngst outright hates about being a girl]].

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': Gren is a man who suffers from a severe hormone imbalance due to experimental drug treatments and subsequently gained feminine secondary sexual characteristics, including breasts. He occasionally finds call to dress up as a woman, and is considered attractive by both genders. He also temporarily [[UnsettlingGenderReveal unsettles Faye]] when she bursts in on him in the shower, sees his breasts (and body), and thinks he's a woman. Then her eyes scroll down.

* ''Literature/LoyalEnemies'': Invoked. When Shelena and Veres ready themselves to confront the virgin-eating [[BasiliskAndCockatrice basilisk]] terrorizing the dwarves, Veres magicks himself a whole-body disguise as a woman. Shelena can't decide whether to be appalled or disgusted about the size of [[BuxomIsBetter certain assets]] Veres gives himself, but Veres is confident to be hot as hell. And he proves to be right when they are confronted by a thug who's so distracted by the aforementioned assets he completely disregards how Veres never bothers to change his voice.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheMunsters'' Herman of all people gets hit with this. 'Hermina' gets a job as a cocktail waitress and complains about having to deal with lecherous drunks. Note that 'Hermina' looks like Herman save for longer hair and [[BuxomIsBetter big breasts]] and Herman looks like FrankensteinsMonster.

* In ''Webcomic/Rain2010'', both Rain herself (who's trans) and Rudy (who sometimes cross-dresses) get a lot of attention, even from old friends like Gavin [[spoiler:and Allison]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': Tamamo-no-Mae plays this both ways – he's a HistoricalGenderFlip to begin with, and his in-universe female disguise is as attractive as his real appearance.

* The Creator/Terrytoons short "Dinky Duck: The Beauty Shop" sees a bussard dressing himself as female bird which the rooster going heads-over-heels for him. This was the plan so the hens would go jealous and go inside a beauty saloon the bussard prepared and traps the rooster and the hens inside. Luckily, the titular Dinky Duck manages to defeat the bussard.

* ''Film/TheSkinILiveIn'': [[spoiler:Vera]] is a man, but looks very beautiful female after his forced sex reassignment.

* ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'': Mori Ranmaru, a male historical figure, looks like a girl and is even voiced by a woman, which makes the quote he makes upon seeing you in ''Warriors Orochi'', "I am as dangerous as I am manly!" rather amusing in itself. In addition to that, in ''Samurai Warriors 2'', during Oichi's Dream stage, he will eventually join the battle to decide who the most beautiful woman in Japan is.

* ''LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'':
** Kinoshita Hideyoshi is admired by all straight male cast of the series [[DudeLooksLikeALady for his effeminate looks]], even though he wears male clothes most of the time. It really doesn't help his case that he is voiced by a woman in all dubs of the anime adaption. That the local bathhouse owners built him his own personal bathing area is a bad sign, too.
--->'''Akihisa:''' ''(Seeing the bathhouse sign marked "Hideyoshi")'' So it's acknowledged by society.
** Akihisa himself gets this in the OAV. Dressing up as a girl due to a ZanyScheme, "Aki-chan" not only steals the heart of the gay man Kudo but gets voted as "the most popular waitress" of their class with the comment "did we have a girl this cute in our school?". Mutsurini also sold out the "Aki-chan Special Photobook" to ensure massive profits for class 2F in the culture festival.
** In a Miss Beachside contest, all of the guys were made to crossdress due to the girls. Both Akihisa and Mutsurini scored very well with the male crowd.

* ''LightNovel/BladedanceOfElementalers'': Kamito was once know as Ren Ashbell, the Strongest Blade Dancer. Approximately 90% of the female world population appears to have been lesbian for him, and most of them still are. He does not find this amusing.

* ''LightNovel/DateALive'': In the second season (quite appropriately called Miku [[YuriGenre Lily]] in the light novel title), Shidou was DraggedIntoDrag in order to get close to Miku Izayoi as she is an idol Spirit that DoesNotLikeMen. It worked very well, to the point that his cousin alter ego "Itsuka Shiori" becomes her favorite girl very quickly. Doesn't stop Tohka, Origami and Kurumi from seeing through him instantly, though. This is taken further in the twelfth light novel, in which Shidou physically transforms himself into Shiori. There's even a {{Fanservice}} colour illustration of Shiori, as for the Spirits in the rest of the series.

* ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'': Natsuru gets this. And [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer both]] genders LOVE HIM/HER!!! Doesn't help that his GenderBender side is VERY beautiful.

* ''LightNovel/No6'': As his local theatre was swift to notice, [[DudeLooksLikeALady Nezumi]] makes a ''really'' good-looking woman.

* In ''LightNovel/OnlySenseOnline'', Yun's DigitalAvatar in the titular {{MMORPG}} is a very beautiful girl, a result of the game system [[DudeLooksLikeALady misidentifying his sex]] and generating a female avatar for him.

* ''LightNovel/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'': In the original light novel when Nanami asks Ryuunosuke to wear a waitress outfit, he refuses on the grounds that he would be prettier than her.
-->"It creeps me out to even think about it, but Kanda's focus will be all on me. Now tell me, would you be fine with that?"

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}:'' Gouriki is initially antagonistic toward Tanukichi, simply because he's the son of a known [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters "ero-terrorist".]] But his attitude changes in episode 3, when he sees Tanukichi [[WholesomeCrossdresser disguised as a girl]][[note]]as part of a plan to lure out a group that was stalking Anna[[/note]], which causes Gouriki to develop [[{{Yaoi}} a full-blown crush on him.]] The feeling isn't mutual.
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': Every season has a crossdressing episode (and it's always episode 17). Gourry looks very attractive - men (and lesbians) hit on him, and in Slayers Try a sea monster mistakes him for a beautiful princess. There's Zelgadis ("Miss Lulu") on episode 17 of ''Slayers Next''. His friends just stare at him for a few seconds, he just looks so damn hot.

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito gets stuck with an extremely feminine avatar in ''Gun Gale Online''. In this form, he is described as having long black hair, crimson lips, and shining black eyes fringed by long eyelashes.

-->'''Jasper:''' I've got Steve and Eydie tickets.\\

* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': Gender-flipped with {{Bifauxnen}} Haruhi Fujioka, who is a WholesomeCrossdresser more or less by accident and forced to stay that way by circumstances beyond her control. "He" proves to be very popular with the ladies... [[SweetOnPollyOliver and at least one guy who's not in the know.]]

* Webcomic/IWantToBeACuteAnimeGirl: During her first public appearance, [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} Cheryl]] waves at a boy in her class who subsequently begins crushing on her (much to "Charon"'s dismay). When Delilah sees a picture of Cheryl, she calls her "really pretty". Even her best friend Zack calls her "cute" before realizing it's her, and seems quite flustered when meeting her girl mode in person.

** Neji is often DragedIntoDrag in the spin-off series ''Manga/RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth'' because of this.
