From the Dropped A Bridget On Him description:
When it's the audience that's confused, see Viewer Gender Confusion.
(Emphasis mine.)
In other words, the difference between this trope and Viewer Gender Confusion is in-universe vs. out-of-universe, not "I thought it was the other kind" vs. "Don't know".
(Edited because of DQZ's super ninja speed.)

It's about the Gender Reveal being something In-Universe that affects the Plot. If it also surprises the audience, that is fine, it's just a dual trope.
My concern is that the In-Universe stuff never really comes up in Guilty Gear.
Get a slant at this glossary of Pulp Detective terms. It rates. Pipe that?So how about using an actual example of the trope instead of misuse that involves the trope namer?
Something along these lines. (this is probably too long but ya get the point.)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!This trope is an in-universe reveal and character response and not just "She is a he" reveal.... All 4 are one story to tell. (as I said its a bit large)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!This can not be told without some text. And As I said its only an idea, The only other suggestion for this is a complete misuse of the trope. (which this can not be a 4th wall issue its not a reveal to the audience its a reveal to a character in the series with the specific reaction of shock or EWWW.)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!I hope you realize that if you actually find this, any time someone says that it can't be shown without text, I'm going to PM you with "A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES" and a link to the thread in question. Even if—no, especially if you're not involved in the thread.
(just kidding)
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.So.... After I slapped this together and made a crappy stick figure comic... I read the trope pages and it seems to be different to what I thought the trope was. Which seems to be some strange and verryyyy specific "thing" that can't be pictured imo.
Here is what I made though. Bluh.

Oh please do. That would make my life so much more complete.
Please.Do we have a separate trope for that "long haired person seen from behind, turns out to be a man" thing? If not, we should, as it turns up a lot.
In any case, it doesn't seem to quite be this trope, as this one usually involves knowing the person, then being surprised by their true sex, as opposed to just glimpsing someone in a crowd, etc.
Jet-a-Reeno!Hey, what about Space Balls?
"You fools! YOU CAPTURED THEIR STUNT DOUBLES!"
Would that be an example?
The problem with it is this is strictly an in-universe thing the comic is being told as an Out-of-universe thing which is not an example.

That just makes it an example of androgynous, not an example of making the viewers confused.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
