A male character in anime that looks like a girl, but is not intended by the writers to be a trap character.

This typically occurs when a male character is designed to be adrogenous with signature girl eyelashes. If you already know they are a guy, it can often be hard to tell how others thought they were a girl, but this is not always the case.
