![]() This is both a reveal trope as well as a character reaction trope, when what initially appears to be compatible gender attraction is later revealed to actually be incompatible gender attraction ( Example: Straight boy likes a girl, girl turns out to be a boy). Other times it might not bother them, or after a period of consideration, they'll decide If It's You, It's Okay. Almost always there is shock upon The Reveal, probably disappointment and maybe even disgust on the part of the character who was feeling the attraction, but usually the two characters can reconcile by the end and become friends. Her male Gay Best Friend, who was also daydreaming about the same guy (who is "really" a girl) will probably feel similarly. A straight female might be shocked to realize that hot guy she's been daydreaming about was "actually" a woman. note Asexuals who wouldn't be interested either way and bisexuals and pansexuals who wouldn't mind either way are usually immune to this trope, though. This works equally well with straight people as it does gay ones. Usually, said character's true gender is being kept secret purposefully, and they are a male Disguised in Drag or a female disguised as a male (sometimes even using a realistic mask or a Full-Body Disguise), but, whether the misunderstanding was intentional or not, due to Rule of Drama, they will find out, and it will be awkward, hilarious and possibly traumatizing for all involved. Sexual attraction is a funny thing, and sometimes if a character physically appears to be the right gender to appeal to their sexual orientation, then they'll become attracted to them, regardless of what that character's actual gender might be.
