Line 4:
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice and Bob meet. Alice has [[Gag Boobs]] and a [[Stripperiffic]] outfit, but is still a guy. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* '''Justified''': Alice is a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]], a shapeshifter, a transsexual, or is the victim of a [[Gender Bender]].
** Or, Alice had undergone plastic surgery.
* '''Inverted''':
** [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Bob meets Alice thinking that "Alice" is a man, only to be distraught when she's revealed to be the real deal.
** [[Sweet
* '''Subverted''': Bob thinks Alice is secretly a guy, gets upset, but Alice is the genuine article...
** Alternatively: Bob is shocked and flustered... But it turns out he's [[Bi the Way|bisexual]] ([[If It's You It's Okay|or is only gay for Andy]]) and is just upset that Andy didn't trust him enough to tell him the truth.
** Also alternatively: Alice used to be a man, but Bob still loves him anyway.
* '''Double Subverted''': Bob thinks Alice is a guy, gets upset, but Alice isn't actually a guy... Unfortunately, Bob's spent all this time talking to Alice's [[Half Identical Twin]].
** Also: Alice used to be a man, but Bob still loves her. That is, until Bob realizes that Alice said "I used to be a man", not [[The IT Crowd
* '''Parodied''': Alice and Bob meet. [[Paper-Thin Disguise|Alice is blatantly a man dressed as a woman]], but Bob falls head over heels for "her" anyway. Later he is shocked to find out "she" is is a man.
* '''Deconstructed''': [[Go Mad
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob [[Single-Target Sexuality|doesn't mind the fact that Andy is really a guy]].
* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice and Bob meet and fall in love. Alice turns out to be "Andy". Then Bob turns out to be "Betty".
Line 21:
** Alternatively: His outward appearance notwithstanding, Alice is quite open about being a man, and tells Bob this when they first meet.
* '''Enforced''': A work that explores gender identity issues will inevitably feature a situation where someone misidentifies a person's gender, and hilarity (or tragedy) ensues.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Of course, the person I finally fall in love with turns out to be a guy."
* '''Invoked''': Andy intentionally dresses up as "Alice" in order to trick Bob.
* '''Defied''': Bob "checks" every female he meets very thoroughly to ensure he's not trapped in this way.
* '''Discussed''': "This chick I'm going out with right now is pretty cool. She knows sports, likes watching ''[[Baywatch]]''... uh, Jeff is a girl's name, right?"
* '''Conversed''': "I don't know if I'm going to bother watching tonight's episode, [[TV Guide]] says Bob finds out his girlfriend Alice was born male and [[Genre Savvy|we all know]] his reaction is going to be so insensitive and horrified that it'll make pretty much every transgendered or trans-friendly viewer cringe."
** "Don't forget us viewers who [[Hollywood Psych|hate a certain trope]]..."
* '''Played For Laughs''': "Alice" and Bob walk into a room together, the implications are clear, but seconds later we hear Bob scream "OH MY GOD! DUDE! YOU'RE A DUDE!" and see him run screaming right through the door trying to get away from the newly-revealed Andy.
