== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Otome wa Boku Nini Koishiteru]]'', this is what gives Mizuho the most trouble about his 'transformation' into a girl. On his/her first day in school, he/she can't work up the courage to visit the ladies' room - and since it's an all-girl school, with only female teachers, there isn't even a men's room. He/she ends up holding it in 'till he/she gets back to the dorms, where he/she... bah! Where he can make a run for the 'private' bathroom... only for Takako, his instructor in all things feminine, to swiftly lambast him for leaving the seat up... (How he managed to pee standing up while wearing an ankle-length dress is [[Fridge Logic|best left to imagination]].)
* A running gag with Hideyoshi in ''[[Baka Test]]''.
{{quote| ''signs read "Boy's Changing Room", "Girl's Changing Room", and "Hideyoshi's Changing Room"''<br />

== [[Web Comics]] ==
* One ''[[VG Cats]]'' strip where the cats are (for once) cooperating, trying to figure out the gender of Slippy from ''[[Star Fox (Video Gameseries)|Star Fox]]'' - by plying it with copious amounts of soft-drinks, and then watching the bathrooms to see which of them it enters. They are thwarted, however, when it ignores both and goes to pee in the break room.
* A running gag on ''[[And Shine Heaven Now (Webcomic)|And Shine Heaven Now]]'' is that the new member of Iscariot wants to know what bathroom the gender-ambiguous Heinkel uses. {{spoiler|Finally answered in [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20100222.html this strip]}}.
* Invoked in ''[[Girls Withwith Slingshots]]'' to prove that "Aaron" is actually Erin.
* Even restrooms labeled with initials can be confusing, as Wario discovers in [http://gg-guys.com/?id=57 this comic] from ''[[GG-Guys]]''. {{spoiler|Waldo and Winnie the Pooh suffered the same fate.}}
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* When the title character of ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' gets lost in the bizarre town of Rock Bottom he can't read the signs over the bathroom doors, since it's written in a strange language. So he waits for someone to walk into one of them so he can tell by context. Cue gender confusion.
* An subversion: in ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'', Lenny goes to a '50s theme bar and the toilets are "Cool Cats" and "Squares". He goes into one, women scream, goes into the other, same thing. He is confused.
* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', Billy jumps into Mandy's body and takes over her life. In one scene, Billy goes into the men's room but is then promptly kicked out. He then went into the ladies room but ran quickly out. He then just stood outside both bathrooms refusing to go into either one.
