Line 27:
** 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.
** Zoisite and Nephrite both crossdress to disguise themselves in the manga. Also, it is not Fish Eye but Hawks Eye who crossdresses in the manga.
* Elendira the Crimson Nail from ''[[Trigun]] Maximum'' (the later volumes of the manga), although
** Given the body-mod capabilities of Gunsmoke science demonstrated in the series, she could be, but could also still be male. Either way, she's scary as hell, one-upped Legato by some way, but was sadly too freaky (as much for the 'fighting style based on graphic impalement with giant red hardware from [[Hammerspace|nowhere]]' bit as for the transexuality) to get into the anime.
*** Despite the nice wide shoulders, this troper would probably never have taken Elendria for anything but a woman, had not the first comment made by anyone after she dropped out of the sky for the first time been Meryl's 'A...transvestite? It has a nice figure...' and Wolfwood's later 'A guy like you...' [Elendria [[Death Glare|gives him a look]].] 'A woman like you...'
Line 59:
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has the {{spoiler|treacherous [[Mysterious Protector]]s in the second season}}.
* The ''[[Kirby]]'' [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]] has Escargon, a [[Camp Gay]] villain with a not-so-subtle crush on his boss who has crossdressed a few times (usually because said boss wanted him to).
* Fumiya Ninomiya from ''[[Wandering Son]]'' crossdresses just to impress Saori Chiba. While not an outright "villain", he is portrayed as a bit of a slimeball when compared to the actual
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]:[[Stand Alone Complex]]'' has a special case in which {{spoiler|Pazu's}} [[Pycho Ex Girlfriend]] wants to kill him and take both his cybernetic body and his identity. {{spoiler|Hard to say, but she might very well have succeeded.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Creepy Child|Sakurako]]}} from ''[[Sakura Gari]]'' {{spoiler|is actually Souma's brother, named Youya. He stole his mother's name and dressed in her clothing after she died, having been traumatised after witnessing said mom's murder at the hands of Souma and Katsuragi. Soon after his gender was discovered by Masataka, he tried to kill both him and Souma, then had a heartbreaking [[Villainous Breakdown]] and [[Driven to Suicide|committed suicide]].}}
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]{{Dead link}} is [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/39130/1230765-ezn7h4_large.png which]{{Dead link}}...
* 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
* [[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
* {{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 215:
{{quote|'''{{spoiler|Dorkus}}''': You, uh, probably shouldn't tell Heloise about this.
'''Jimmy''': Really, I wouldn't know how. }}
* In ''[[Western Animation The Simpsons]]'', episode "There is Something About Marrying", pro golfer Veronica was going to marry Patty under the false pretense of being a lesbian woman. (It's somewhat unclear, but Veronica doesn't seem to be a genuine [[

* Herman Goering, Nazi head of the Luftwaffe, is sometimes referred to as a crossdresser
* Murderer Ed Gein is often described as this trope, and one who didn't stop at just [[Genuine Human Hide|the clothes]]. But while this is the most common interpretation of Gein, it's also a sensationalistic one. His psychiatric assessments hold instead that he wanted a replacement for his mother, one he could keep around.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT2UmZxzmjs The drag queens
* In Ancient Rome Publius Clodius Pulcher dressed up as a woman so that he could sneak into the Bona Dea festival (a sacred religious rite strictly confined to women) and seduce the wife of Julius Caesar. He was caught when a servant tried to encourage the seemingly shy "girl" to join in the festivities; Clodius' masculine voice gave him away and he was chased out of the house by Caesar's mother. He was brought to trial for sacrilege and indecency but managed to escape conviction by bribing the jury.
* 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.
