Misgendering Laney

Misgendering Laney is a series long running gag in Grojband, where characters are constantly confused over Laney's gender. She is frequently mistaken for a boy, which she is frustrated over. Although Grojband is aware of her gender, they count her as "one of the guys" so she is usually treated as one. This is an issue that usually gets in the way of her love for Corey.

Trivia

The other members of Grojband don't really believe that Laney Penn is a boy. They are well aware of the fact that she's actually a girl. The reason they give her masculine names and treat her like a guy, however, is because they are treating her equally to the male members of the band. They guys aren't entirely aware of how to do this, and so they tend to annoy her from time to time. However, this doesn't mean that everyone in the show knows she's a girl. People such as Trina, Mina, Nick, Mayor Mellow, The Newmans, and other one-time characters in the show think she's a boy. Basically, the more familiar with Laney they are, the more likely it is they'll know she's really a girl.
Lenny is the male version of Laney who is always being mistaken for a female.
