In one scene, Shiro is walking in a public bath house and the men around him ogle him thinking he's a woman. Adekan: Anri and Shiro, both being effeminate Pretty Boys, have gotten people to think they're women.Then once safely outside, the announcer says that the vehicle can be "full of surprises," as the woman peels off her rubber mask and her wig to reveal Paul Hogan, who says in his normal deep Australian accent, "Like mine for example!" ![]() This 1998 Subaru Forester commercial, where in some kind of spy parody, a pretty red-haired woman (complete with suggestive feminine American voice) escapes the bad guys' hideout in a Subaru Forester SUV in a Rule of Sexy fashion, managing to get out before the exit door closes.An unfortunate controversial commercial in the 1990s for the Holiday Inn sees a business man hitting on an attractive woman in the restaurant where their high school reunion is taking place, only to recognize her as his old coworker and friend then known as "Bob".This ad for sushi delivery shop Gin no sara has a man's date reveal to be a man in drag after removing his fake breasts and washing off his makeup to scare a dog bothering him.Happens in this Japanese commercial for the Toyota Auris, where a person who appears to be female walks down the aisle showing off their legs only to remove their coat to reveal a flat chest.With the growing LGBT Civil Rights movement catching on in the Turn of the Millennium and The New '10s, this is starting to lean more towards a Discredited Trope, though it still occasionally pops up. In Real Life, " trans panic " can have violent or even lethal consequences, as numerous trans people-especially trans women, and especially especially trans women from marginalized ethnicities (for example, Black people in The United States)-have been physically or sexually assaulted, sometimes even murdered, when their genitals are revealed. One common example is that a straight man is attracted to a woman, but finds out that she's transgender and has a penis. It's also worth noting that, in many examples of this trope, it's not the gender (i.e., gender identity) that's a shocker, but the genitals (granted, examples portraying crossdressers vastly outnumber any portraying those who are transgender). It is a sister trope to the related Sweet on Polly Oliver, which refers to when what initially appears to be inexplicable incompatible gender attraction is later revealed to actually be compatible gender attraction ( Example: Straight boy likes a boy, boy turns out to be a girl), although since the unsettling part is averted, this is usually a subversion (usually). This is both a reveal trope as well as a character reaction trope, when what initially appears to be compatible gender attraction is later revealed to actually be incompatible gender attraction ( Example: Straight boy likes a girl, girl turns out to be a boy). ![]() Other times it might not bother them, or after a period of consideration, they'll decide If It's You, It's Okay. Almost always there is shock upon The Reveal, probably disappointment and maybe even disgust on the part of the character who was feeling the attraction, but usually the two characters can reconcile by the end and become friends. Her male Gay Best Friend, who was also daydreaming about the same guy (who is "really" a girl) will probably feel similarly. A straight female might be shocked to realize that hot guy she's been daydreaming about was "actually" a woman. note Asexuals who wouldn't be interested either way and bisexuals and pansexuals who wouldn't mind either way are usually immune to this trope, though. This works equally well with straight people as it does gay ones. ![]() Usually, said character's true gender is being kept secret purposefully, and they are a male Disguised in Drag or a female disguised as a male (sometimes even using a realistic mask or a Full-Body Disguise), but, whether the misunderstanding was intentional or not, due to Rule of Drama, they will find out, and it will be awkward, hilarious and possibly traumatizing for all involved. Sexual attraction is a funny thing, and sometimes if a character physically appears to be the right gender to appeal to their sexual orientation, then they'll become attracted to them, regardless of what that character's actual gender might be.
