** The amusing fact is that this whole situation actually arose out of trying to ''prevent'' censorship. Capcom of Japan knew that it was not kosher to depict violence against women - [[Critical Research Failure|so their excuse was that the characters weren't born as women in the first place]]. They have gone further on record that Poison's status is post-op in America and pre-op in Japan.
** (As [http://kotaku.com/5888814/a-twenty+minute-documentary-about-the-gender-of-final-fights-poison this] in-depth documentary points out,) Poison and Roxy are both labeled as "newhalf" in their concept art and Poison has the term in the original Japanese instruction booklets for the first two games in the series. As the booklet came out two years in Japan before it hit Stateside, it is unlikely that Capcom made this change simply to accommodate Nintendo. While Capcom may not have considered them to be women, they were still "newhalves" from the very beginning.
* Perhaps the most famous video game example is [[Super Mario Bros. 2|Birdo]], who was described in the [[All There in the Manual|manual of her first appearance]] as "wanting to be called Birdetta" and "wanting to be a girl". Although she started as a crossdressing male, more recent appearances have hinted ([[Captain Rainbow]] provided more concrete... evidence) that she has since had "the operation", and transitioned to a female body.
* ''[[Mother 3]]'': The Magypisies ''look'' like this. They actually have no real gender.
* It's slightly ambiguous, but {{spoiler|Robin}} of ''[[Cute Knight Kingdom]]'' appears to be transgender female-to-male.
