MC Female Detectives are quite rare. Here's a collection of them.
Some are less realistic detectives, e.g. in a magic show.
Only the most prevalent anime (meaning an anime not difficult to find) that they are an MC in is included in this list. This excludes sequels and such.

A curated list of series and shorts that span no more than 15 minutes, but satisfies your entertainment all the same. Arranged in color-coordinated rows because nothing makes lists look more appealing than a uniform order, trust me.

Stack for anime that feature men crossdressing as women for whatever reason ✨
Made specifically for those too lazy to scroll through the crossdressing tag on MAL (which includes both m2f and f2m crossdressing unlike the idols tag which does separate them;;; which doesnt make sense to me but alas)

Disclaimer than this does NOT include actual transgender or heavily trans-coded anime (ex. hourou musuko, senpai wa otokonoko, etc), this stack is solely for anime in which crossdressing is treated as a hobby or comedy gag instead of an actual gender identity (if I accidentally add any anime in here that are explicitly queer in nature, please let me know! I have obviously not watched every show on this stack)

This list doesn't include anime that feature crossdressing as a one-off comedy gag and then never again, it needs to be at least somewhat relevant to the plot to land a spot on here.

No spoiler tag BUT before you scroll please be aware that I did put in the names of every crossdressing character in this stack so if you wanna be surprised then maybe don't scroll <3
