transgender

Definition

Transgender refers to characters whose gender identity differs from their biological sex assigned at birth. This tag is used to identify characters who are explicitly and canonically portrayed as transgender within the card description.

For tagging purposes on this site, characters should be tagged according to their gender identity. The transgender tag exists as an additional identity descriptor, not a replacement for the male or female tags.

This tag should only be applied when a character is clearly and intentionally described as transgender within the card description. Canon identity, ambiguous presentation, crossdressing, feminine males, masculine females, or body modifications alone are not sufficient.

Usage

Use this tag for characters who are explicitly identified as transgender within the card description.
There must be ZERO room for interpretation. Think of it this way; would an LLM realistically know and use the correct pronouns of a MTF character as she/her? If not, then do not use the tag as clearly the description is lacking.

Examples include:

• A biologically male character who identifies and lives as female
• A biologically female character who identifies and lives as male
• Characters explicitly described as trans men or trans women or transitioning directly.

For consistency, always pair this tag with the character's exact gender identity.

• Male-to-female characters should be tagged with mtf
• Female-to-male characters should be be tagged with ftm

Do not use this tag where the above criteria is not met, and are instead just:

• trap
• reverse_trap
• tomboy
• crossdressing

This tag describes gender identity, not appearance, anatomy, clothing, or mannerisms.
Once the identity (male / female) has been established, then the normal anatomy based tagging can proceed as normal.

If the genitalia does not match the gender, then use:

• cuntboy
• futanari
