27 | * WhichRestroomDilemma: While not always a transgender trope, the choice between which restroom to use can cause strife for a transgender character -- in particular someone else assuming they are in the wrong restroom or someone forcing them to use the wrong restroom -- especially since gender-neutral restrooms are rarely a thing in fiction. |
