** The series has female Dancers and male Bards, though they essentially do the same thing.

* ''Webcomic/YellowBrickRamble'': This is a comic adaptation of ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'', the second novel of the [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] series, told from the TransAudienceInterpretation. In the comic, the main character Tippetarius "Tip" Tryfle begins the story as a pre-transition transgirl living with her mother, the witch Mombi. There's a rule in the land of Oz (not created by this comic; it's from the original source) that men can not be witches, so Tip uses this rule to try to cajole Mombi to transform her into a girl so that she could be Mombi's apprentice. It doesn't work, as Mombi very much WantedAGenderConformingChild.
** This is '''''not''''' a case where MagicIsFeminine, since men in the land of Oz can be sorcerers or wizards.

* In ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'', only girls can receive "the Dream" that turns them into MagicalGirls. However, this is ''not'' strictly tied to biological sex; it's shown that transgender girls can also become magical girls. This can even occur before they transition, as Zoe was still living and presenting as a boy when she got her dream.

* ''Series/Echo2024'': So far as she series has shown, the abilities of the Choctaw protectors are only possessed by women in Maya's family, passed down the centuries.

* ''VideoGame/{{Siren}}'' has the players use actual humans, but only men can pick up automatic weapons, climb ledges higher than their heads, and beat some enemies by hand-to-hand combat. Girls, on the other hand, only can use light weapons up to semi-automatic pistols, can only climb ledges up to around their hips, and their melee attacks at best just temporarily stun their enemies.
