Line 1: {{trope}} {{trope workshop}} {{tropestub}} A subtrope and variant of one of the most basic and oldest plots, which originally went: [[Boy Meets Girl]], boy loses girl, boy finds girl again. But with a twist. Line 6 ⟶ 8: [[The Reveal]] is usually played in one of two ways. If this is being written as porn or erotica, she's transformed into a [[futanari]]-like fetish object, the best of both worlds sexually, as [[Fan Service]]. If this is being written as the sort of teen fiction which turns up in [[Hot Librarian\|public libraries]], she becomes [[An Aesop]] - a [[Public Service Announcement\|lesson to bullying teens]] not to judge others on the basis of their sexuality. Despite the trope title, "[[Boy Meets T-Girl"]] could just as easily have been played the other way around... as there are just as many transsexual persons transitioning female-to-male as male-to-female. It just seems to be played as straight boy/trans woman because a transgender woman is a more readily sexualised character (see [[Attractive Bent Gender]] and [[Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite]]) but, at the same time, more free to express emotion if the main character allows anyone to hurt her in some way - as [[Men Don't Cry]] but trans women (as [[Third Law of Gender Bending\|they are women]]) do. Not to be confused with [[Something's Different About You Now]], where the lad already knew the lady before transition.
