* Tamir (a.k.a. Prince Tobin) from Lynn Flewelling's ''Tamir Triad'' was magically transformed into a boy at birth (long story short, the people currently in power required a male heir, but certain groups wanted a return to the country's old matriarchal ways). She didn't know she was a girl until puberty hit and weakened the spell, and had some awkwardness adjusting to being female later.

* [[Nasuverse|Type Moon]] seems to like this — Saber from ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' is a standard "needed a male heir" example, and Shiki from ''[[Karano Kyoukai]]'' may also count, though it's honestly a lot more complicated than that.

* Princess Sapphire from ''The [[Princess Knight]]'' - again raised as a boy due to a law that only male heirs could rule, and further complicated by the fact that she had the "hearts" of both a boy and girl due to a mistake in heaven.

* In ''[[The Metamorphoses]],'' Iphis's mother raises her daughter as a boy on divine orders to avoid exposing her at birth. Iphis falls in love with another girl named Ianthe, so the goddess Isis turned Iphis into a man and the two got married.

* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' has {{spoiler|Shannon/Yasu/Kanon}}, though which way this goes depends on how the reader interprets which personality is dominant and what his/her original gender was. Note that a large reason that no one can tell due to secondary attributes is the fact that they were injured at a young age in a way that is implied to have made them infertile and would naturally mess with the way that they developed.

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' has [[Nations as People|Hungary]] growing up living as a boy (although it's also mentioned that she thought she really was one and thought that "we all get one when we get older anyway"; fandom opinions on Hungary's gender range from [[Tomboy]] to [[Transsexual]]) and North Italy being raised as a girl by Austria and the aforementioned Hungary.

* This happens to almost every transgender person ever. Usually not due to malice, just because their parents don't know yet.

* The Japanese classic ''[[wikipedia:Torikaebaya Monogatari|Torikaebaya Monogatari]]'' has a brother and sister raised in this way. They go on to careers at court in those roles, but eventually switch to match their birth genders.
