Sometimes this is because a cheap dub uses badly [[Cross
Compare [[She's a Man In Japan]], where the character's gender actually ''was'' changed while adapting, and [[Bifauxnen]] and [[Samus Is a Girl]], where you are expected to be mistaken at first. Contrast (or compare?) [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]], when it's other characters who are confused.
See also [[Ambiguous Gender]] for characters who have no canonically stated gender. May be solved with the use (or lack) of [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]. Can be seen as the viewer-perspective version of [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]. Anything that makes the character's sex obvious may act as a [[Gender Reveal]].
