Because of their masculine appearance, their gender is mostly evident by TertiarySexualCharacteristics. It also may raise some ViewerGenderConfusion. This trope is a staple of many stereotypical caricatures of {{trans|gender}} women, in which case the femininity is often of a particularly garish and over-the-top sort--that is, when they're not going for an UnsettlingGenderReveal, in which case the woman in question tends to be less visibly trans.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyStreetKids'': Little Lotta may not be as petite looking as Audrey or Dot, but is very sweet and more interested in girly things than her thinner cohorts.

* Tina from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' is of the "Trying to compensate" kind. She is a huge tyrannosaurus rex with a deep [[CrossdressingVoice man voice]], but in one episode she is seen auditioning for the cheerleaders.

She may be too bulky and mannish, or very tall and hideous, but no matter how designed, she is decidedly unfeminine. More often than not she has a muscular build or an [[FatGirl excess of fat]] and her face breaks the standard female design, even sometimes having non-human features. In some cartoonier shows she can be so ugly that she [[{{Gonk}} breaks the medium's art style]].

* Gori from ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'' typically wears a pink dress with a necklace, and can be rather {{Adorkable}} at times. She also happens to be a large, muscular gorilla.

** Dwarfs look like small bearded men regardless of gender, so Cheery has to employ TertiarySexualCharacteristics to show her femininity.

** In the novel ''Discworld/GoingPostal'', they put a golem into a dress and rename it "Gladys", in order to make it proper for "her" to clean the ladies' bathroom. The golem promptly starts to act very girly, though the following book, ''Discworld/MakingMoney'' reveals the etiquette book by Lady Deirdre Waggon placed in her head somewhat helped. Adora, annoyed with the concept of a golem becoming so submissive, replaces it with Revelentia Flout's traitise on feminism.

Her femininity can take many forms. She can be motherly and nurturing, with mostly [[HouseWife domestic skills and interests]], or a [[FemmeFatale seductive and charming woman]], or [[ProneToTears weak and susceptible]], [[VanityIsFeminine vain and superficial]], or [[GenkiGirl energetic and bubbling]]. As long as she acts feminine but looks otherwise, she is this trope. See FemininityTropes.

** [[EverythingIsBetterWithPrincesses Lumpy Space Princess]] sounds like a man and is a nondescript blob of lumps, but is a stereotypical ValleyGirl that cares mostly about typical shallow teenage issues such as dating, parties, drama and [[VanityIsFeminine her looks]].
