* Played with in ''[[Ranma ½]]'': Ranma's ''actions'' are typically the same regardless of his form, but his ''reactions'' are often stereotypical, especially in responses to "perverted" behavior from the likes of Kuno or Happousai. In those cases his reactions usually differ very little from any of the real girls in the series. Also, whenever Ranma is in "disguise" as a female he typically overdoes it, implying that he's consciously trying to act out stereotypes. When he hits his head in one episode and thinks he was always a girl, he becomes the ''epitome'' of this trope.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* ''[[Sora no Otoshimono]]'': Tomoki will occasionally use a special device to turn himself into Tomoko so (s)he can act out various shoujo tropes.
* In ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'', during a [[Freaky Friday Flip]], we see the protagonist start leaning to the "dark side of gaming" ( {{spoiler|playing [[Dating Sim]]s... [[Serious Business|for girls!]]}}) and behaving more and more feminine (thanks partly to the [[Demonic Possession|Weiss]] that initiated the flip). We also see the girl he switched with start acting more like a boy, although in her case it's largely down to the Masquerade of maintaining his life. {{spoiler|Later on in the story however, she becomes a Bifauxen because she is comfier looking and dressing up as a guy.}}

* Explored and played with in ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12327719/1/What-Do-You-Want What Do You Want?]'', a ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfic by "Polenicus". Over the course of the story, Ranma and those around him discover that in addition to two ''physical'' genders, he also has female and male mindsets that he can switch between, with corresponding personality changes, regardless of which body he's in at the time. Part of the plot explores his growing acceptance that he can ''choose'' to mentally be a girl without losing his boy aspect, and how that helps and alters his relationships with others.
