* ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'': In Chapter 4 of the VN/episode 10 of the anime, Okabe attempts to verify [[WholesomeCressdresser Luka]] is a boy, only to find out [[GenderBender that's no longer the case]]. Because no one else remembered the previous timeline where Luka was male, this ends very badly for Okabe, [[ThrowTheBookAtThem courtesy of Kurisu]].

* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''. In "The Flax" D'Argo discovers that the scavenger Staanz, who appears to be a rather ugly male, turns out to be, in fact, a female of her species ("considered quite the looker") when Staanz makes an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to him. Crichton and Aeryn witness this and jokes they should LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone (D'Argo also makes a rapid departure) but afterwards Crichton asks Aeryn to confirm she's the female of her [[HumanAliens species]]. Aeryn responds by grabbing ''his'' crotch, which he takes as a yes.

* ''Anime/MagiTheLabyrinthOfMagic'': Titus is so girly-looking that Aladdin actually gropes his chest to confirm if he's really a guy when they first meet.

** Bonus points for the first one being performed in the middle of a crowded bar, without so much as a "Hey, mind if I check something?" He literally just reaches across a good foot of separation space and does it, much to the hysterics of all the onlookers! "[[CaptainObvious She's a bloke!]]" indeed.
*** Extra bonus points for the character being portrayed by a cis female actress.

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'': Done by accident in chapter 10, after Tanukichi mistakes Oboro for a panty thief and wrestles her to the floor. His foot ends up pressed against her pelvic region, which is when he realizes [[UnsettlingGenderReveal something is 'off']] and decides to double-check. It [[DudeLooksLikeALady confirms his suspicion]], but also inadvertently causes Oboro to [[spoiler: [[TheModestOrgasm get off from it]]]].

* ''Anime/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'': Titus is so girly-looking that Aladdin actually gropes his chest to confirm if he's really a guy when they first meet.

* In one episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', the investigators discover that the boyfriend of the perp [[UnsettlingGenderReveal didn't know she was a preop trans woman]] when they tell him why she killed his brother.

DoNotTryThisAtHome. It's one of the class of acts that are known as "sexual assault" in the real world.

* ''Film/CrocodileDundee'' has Mick flirting with a veiled woman. The cab driver he's been getting drunk with informs him that she's biologically male. Mick walks right up and checks the crotch for the frank and beans. She, offended, stalks off. Later in the movie, Mick sees another rather ...handsome... woman and does it again. To his chagrin (and her delight), she's the got the full female package.

* This accidentally happens to Takatsuki, a male-transitioning-from-female {{Transgender}} boy, in ''Manga/WanderingSon'' once. It's {{Squick}}y being that he was around ''eleven'' then and the person who did it was an adult male (who later became his friend) who thought he was having an affair with his girlfriend. Takatsuki just puts on a brave front afterwards and holds in his tears. Shiina's actual intention wasn't likely this, however, as he thought Takatsuki was a cis boy when he grabbed him. Shiina did pat Takatsuki's chest afterwards in a more clear example of this.
