Looking at more contemporary examples, Final Fantasy is full of such characters. Off the top of my head: Yuffie ("tomboy"), Laguna from FFVIII, the main playable character of FFXII (forgot the name), main character from IX (that monkey guy, although he is pretty much a ladies man, yet he has a somewhat feminine face and attire, a good example illustrating the distinction between androgyny and homosexuality) - a lot of this is subjective, but you get the idea. I notice how you skim over the fact that during the course of FFVII, Cloud infiltrates a Don's home by dressing as a woman (and can actually go out of his way to play and look the part). He can actually Date Barrett or RedXIII during the Golden Saucer if neither Aeris or Tifa agree to. There was also several oppurtunities through the game for Cloud to take part in similarly messed up stuff. FFVII was really weird like that.
