Splitting crossdressing tags

Posted under Tags

Forking off from a few different mentions in topic #31701. Pretty much what it says on the tin, much like we have subtags for genderswap we ought to make gendered subtags for crossdressing.

Options include:

  • "dansou" and "josou" (which feels overly weeby for the sake of being weeby)
  • "crossdressing male" and "crossdressing female" (which matches topless male and topless male, but potentially confusing since either one could be (mis)interpreted in either direction, kind of like how your conservative grandpa gets confused as to which one is which with "trans man" and "trans woman")
  • "crossdressing (ftm)" and "crossdressing (mtf)" (matches the genderswap tags and is the least ambiguous but is kinda clunky).

Either way we can start populating the subtags with mass updates to crossdressing 1boy solo and crossdressing 1girl solo, with the rest being patience and/or tag scripting. Will probably submit some BURs to vote on in a little bit after giving other people time to chime in.

Though it is clunky, I personally advocate for crossdressing (mtf) /(ftm). Primarily because it works in several ways - it has parity with the genderswap tag, and it's ambiguous enough to potentially mean "male to female" or "masc to femme" in the case of a trans or genderless character.

I think dansou and josou are only good as utility aliases for the three hyper weebs left in tbe world, and as much as I've never particularly liked the look of the (ftm/mtf) qualifiers, I have to agree that they're the least potentially ambiguous option.

mass update solo crossdressing 1girl -> crossdressing_(ftm)
mass update solo crossdressing 1boy -> crossdressing_(mtf)
create implication crossdressing_(ftm) -> crossdressing
create implication crossdressing_(mtf) -> crossdressing

Righto, seems pretty unanimous from all three responses. If someone wants to advocate for some other terminology feel free to submit another BUR.

BUR machine broke :(

BUR #43516 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

remove implication male_maid -> crossdressing
create implication male_maid -> crossdressing_(mtf)

Well while we wait for the previous BUR to unbreak, here's an implication adjustment for the crossdressing tag.

BUR #43519 is pending approval.

create implication male_playboy_bunny -> crossdressing_(mtf)
create implication female_butler -> crossdressing_(ftm)

Do we want these implied? I'm skipping male swimwear challenge because as it's spiritually closer to a meme there's almost certainly posts in there referencing it without actual crossdressing involved.

I already populated most of the male swimwear challenge posts with crossdressing (ftm), it's all good.
