Line 12:
== Anime}} and [[Manga]] ==
* The ''quintessential'' example of this character (in anime, at least) is Yuda, from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. Outrageous outfit? Check. Annoying laugh? Check. Insanely self-absorbed and narcissistic? To ''eleven''. Gay? Oh, boy. Just take a look at his conversations with Rei...
* In ''[[Akazukin Chacha]]'', Doris is the twin brother of Dorothy who is in love with their childhood friend Seravy, who has [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] with Dorothy, ever since she had a makeover which Seravy hates (she changed her natural golden curls to a straight red-pink hair). In an effort to win Seravy's affections, he himself had a makeover to ''look exactly like his sister's original appearance.'' Naturally, this only [[Squick|Squicks]] Seravy out to the point he is usually very violent to Doris (and ''only to Doris''.)
* ''[[One Piece]]'' examples:
** Mr. 2 Bon Clay of Baroque Works, the only Baroque Works officer without a female partner, since he counts as both the man and the woman. His alias reflects this, being a combination of a number (traditional for male officers) and and a reference to a holiday (traditional for female officers). {{spoiler|[[Defeat Means Friendship|Though after losing]], he pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]], like many ''One Piece'' villains, transforming into a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]].}}
Line 23:
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'':
** The androgynous but genuinely male Envy has traits of this which were especially played up in the English dub, where his voice is more feminine.
** Barry the Chopper (anime version), who dresses as a woman when out delivering meat from his butcher shop.
* Fish Eye from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had shades of this, though was clearly intended to appeal to the fetish. As the other villains disguise themselves, the [[Hand Wave]] is dressing as a woman is simply a ''modus operandi'' to cover the [[Cast Speciation|left over type of victims - males]] - as Hawks Eye targeted older women and Tigers Eye targeted younger women. He actually dresses as a male for a specific mission (targeting a gay fashion designer), and while exclusively using ''male'' pronouns when in circus attire, will only use ''feminine'' pronouns when disguised. Ironically, his femininity seems to make him [[Women Are Wiser|closer to Earth]], and he has the first [[Heel Face Turn]] of the season.
** Also Zoisite, though played a bit straighter (no pun intended) than the openly camp Fish Eye. Guilty of feminine appearance, romantic relationship with a male, shrill laugh, and sakura petals ''everywhere''. Fits this trope because he actually crossdresses as the title heroine in order to lure Tuxedo Mask out of hiding. Though the crossdressing was Kunzite's idea, not his.
Line 53:
** Earl Kanon Maldini, the aide to Prince Schneizel. In the series, he is not shown as a crossdresser (but he ''is'' [[Always Camp|feminine looking enough]] and once jokes about [[Subordinate Excuse|aiding]] [[Ho Yay|Schneizel]] in "his private affairs" as well), but [[All There in the Manual|the Code Geass novels]] not only say he is, but that he [[Truth in Television|was persecuted for it]] until he met Schneizel and was hired as his assistant.
** [[Magnificent Bastard|Lelouch]] does this at least twice in the picture dramas. In one of them, the Student Council has a crossdressing festival so everyone crossdresses (and Suzaku... mentions having done it a few times before?). [[Attractive Bent Gender|And he looks REALLY good in girl clothing]].
* Tsubasa Kurenai from ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* Mariya from ''[[Maria Holic]]'' does a very convincing job as a girl. Since this is an all girls' school, no surprise that he gets Kanako falling for him the moment they meet. He's also incredibly sadistic.
* One early example of this trope would be Rock, from the various manga by [[Osamu Tezuka]]. Who, in his more villainous incarnations, would often disguise himself as a woman.
Line 147:
{{quote|'''Narrator''': It was the [[Lampshade Hanging|exact plot]] of ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]''.}}
*** In an effort to help Buster overcome his low self-esteem and be more assertive with his mother, Tobias dresses up in Lucille's clothes; including her underwear. It [[Rule of Funny|doesn't even]] [[Makes Sense in Context|make sense in context]].
** Barry Zuckerkorn goes to the City of Industry to pick up a prostitute, but quickly drives off when the prostitute reveals that she is ''not'' a man in drag. There are also some hints that Barry himself is a closet cross dresser.
** While he was hiding in the attic, George Sr. dresses in his late daughter-in-law's maternity clothes. During a hug, Michael also notes that he was wearing her perfume, too.
== Music ==
* The titular character in [[Pink Floyd]]'s first single, "Arnold Layne."
* [[The Velvet Underground]]'s "Sister Ray".
Line 190:
* A man in ''[[Fable II]]'' is wearing a very crude attempt at a home-made woman's outfit. It turns out that he's insane and trying to feed people to his adopted family of goblin-like monsters. The game allows the player character to cross-dress, but no other characters do.
* Either Zepar or Furfur from ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''. One is female and one is male, but as for [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/39130/1230766-29ynxoo_large.png which] is [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/39130/1230765-ezn7h4_large.png which]...
* In [[Saints Row]] 2 the player can dress their character in any clothes in the game, regardless of gender. So the player can make their character a transvestite, or even a [[Transsexualism]] through [[Easy Sex Change]], if they so desire.
* [[The Medic]] in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', sort of. He has [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|an unlockable wig]] that's in a geisha style with a comb and small flowers, leading to a [[Broken Base]] over those who thought Valve was pandering to the fans who wanted more [[Ho Yay]] (not all crossdressers are gay and not all gays crossdress, guys). If you know your history, geishas were originally all male. Regardless, it's a compliment. It's a ''[[Total War|Shogun: Total War]]''-inspired item, and geisha are some of the most badass units in that game.
* {{spoiler|1=Thomas MacLaine}} in ''[[Deadly Premonition]]'', who at that point in the story has been in such a massive [[Trauma Conga Line]] as well as {{spoiler|being the villain's [[Replacement Goldfish]] for the woman he actually loves}} that he's gone completely off the edge of sanity.
Line 198:
* {{spoiler|Chelsie Warner}} of ''[[Concession]]'' is not technically a villain, but is definitely [[Creepy Child|problematic]].
* Nicholas in ''[http://www.samuraiprincess.com/ Samurai Princess]'' has a very serious case of a bad man trying to be a woman. He has so far been shown in a geisha-like dress, a catsuit and, heaven forbid, a maid outfit.
* Red Mage from ''[[8-Bit Theater
Line 225:
* Subverted with the serial killer Mataviejitas, "The Old Lady Killer," who the Mexican police were convinced was a transvestite because people said they saw a large muscular woman leave the houses of the victims. The police (after finally admitting there was a serial killer) ran a dragnet through the transvestite community to find her. It turns out the killer was female, Juana Barraza, a Mexican Indy wrestler known as La Dama del Silencio, the silent lady. This did not stop ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' from playing this trope straight when they did this case.
* Sam Duddy, a senior UDA/UFF figure [Northern Ireland Loyalist terrorists] who died in 2007, once worked as a drag queen under the name Samantha. He was once a suspect in the murder of Pat Finucane, the Roman Catholic lawyer shot dead by the UDA in 1989.
* Peter Langan, the leader of the "Aryan Republican Army," a group implicated in the Timothy McVeigh bombing, was discovered to be a crossdresser, going out at night dressed up as a woman.
* Canadian Col. Russell Williams, who is as of October 2010 being sentenced for multiple murders, sexual assaults, breaking and entering, and so on, took thousands of photos documenting his crimes. Newspapers often put the ones of him wearing little girl's underwear on their front pages to demonstrate his depravity.
* The general legacy of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover is about as controversial as his supposed crossdressing. In truth, it's extremely unlikely that he belongs either in this trope or [[Wholesome Crossdresser]], but the notion has become [[Common Knowledge]].
