That's a potentially great idea!

It might be a bit more of a hassle at first, but there's no ambiguity or potentially-offensive/misleading nomenclature (character owners et al)

I especially like that the physical features are alphabetized, which makes it easier to remember the order

To be safe, I suppose we could alias the other possible combinations to the main ones:

intersex_pb -> intersex_bp

intersex_bvp -> intersex_bpv
intersex_pbv -> intersex_bpv
intersex_pvb -> intersex_bpv
intersex_vbp -> intersex_bpv
intersex_vpb -> intersex_bpv

intersex_vp -> intersex_pv

It doesn't seem very intuitive to me, but here's some potential issues we might think about:

• pussy/penis, vagina, breasts/balls (and to a lesser extent cunt, cock, dick, or other logical names like intersex_cb for cuntboy, intersex_dg for dickgirl)
• People tagging intersex because they don't know what they mean or can't remember which is which (or just don't bother)
• Them getting mixed up constantly
• Can't imply maleherm to herm anymore (a minor issue)

Tits, Nuts, Vagina, Dick, tags using the vague letters could end up as intersex_(invalid). Personally, I think it's better to use it as it is.

New suggested gender tags

Ok, here's an updated suggestion:

Both of you have good points about there being much more room for ambiguity, and the tags themselves are unintuitive by comparison to ones like dickgirl etc.

If we change them, then I feel that whatever they're changed to should be just as easy to remember and obvious from the name.

(I have some suggestions, but more on that later)

Long Version

Short Version

Had the *morph tags mixed up, changed them to be consistent with the official definition and long version

Updated the title:

• *penis <-> *cock -> *penis <-> *dick
• Added neuter, herm, and maleherm

Some fun rhetoric that's probably been asked in other places:

Why don't we alias female -> cuntgirl

and male -> dickboy ?

titanmelon said:
4. We can use no tags for genders at all. Everything is ambiguous gender regardless of what's depicted

i still wholeheartedly support this idea

titanmelon said:

Short Version

This gives us a total of 7 genders, excluding ambiguous_gender

• ambiguous
• ambiguous_gender

• binary
• female (female)
• male (male)

• hermaphroditic
• androherm (maleherm)
• gynoherm (herm)

• intersex
• andromorph ('dickgirl')
• gynomorph ('cuntboy')

I like this. It's consistent, direct, highlights various differences clearly, and the terms are reasonably brief.
Does it abbreviate well (and do we care about that?)? I guess.. 'ah gh am gm'

I do feel that there is potentially some confusion to be had due to the fact that androherm describes a male base build whereas andromorph describes a female base build, and similarly for gynoherm / gynomorph. But, I'd say it's still an improvement on the current herm vs dickgirl.

titanmelon said:

.. would that make 'herm' → 'cuntdickgirl', and I suppose maleherm → 'dickcuntboy'?

With some Javascript, I'm sure that could be arranged for April 1st.

I was tempted to put neuter and ambiguous in the same category for symmetry, but one is a physical sex, and one is a meta-identifier

Until we come up with a less ambiguous tag for the neuter sex, I'm guessing ambiguous_gender is filling that gap

Sources

Wikipedia: Gynomorph
Wiktionary: andro-]

I just wanted to say I really like these terms and whole-heartedly support. They're not as unsavory/vulgar as the current tags, and if aliased, people searching for the old tags will still find them regardless.

Can't fully-reply to anything atm, but I'm glad the suggestions are well-received!

@savageorange:
Yes, that's one of the things I'm worried about, the potential mixup between the gyno/andro prefixes with regards to whether or not it refers to the physical sex, or body shape

andro/gynomorph was/is the closest literal thing I could think of that's also an actual, existing term that means what we use the existing cuntboy/dickgirl tags for

If anyone has a more intuitive way to phrase them, that'd be great

@Kida:
That's probably the best part, with respect to tagging stuff - people can still use the old (read:current) tags and nothing should break

The most likely case of the latter happening would be if people tried to mass tag one of the new andro/gyno* tags, and mixed up the definitions

But I'd like to believe that anyone with mass tagging priveleges would be more careful than that

--

Here's a test of the new tags, in the below post:

I've made 2 versions of the tag lists and examples- one is the current set of terms:
('cuntboy', maleherm etc.), and another set with the new ones (andromorph, androherm etc.),
and see how it goes where comprehension is concerned

Suggestion: Alphabetical pairing order where applicable

This is somewhat more related to conjunctive tagging (see forum #) than gender tagging, but the primary examples are all gender tags, so it's in here.

There was mention of the *_on_* gender tags being aliased to */*, to avoid cases where people were thinking it meant a specific passive/active role

Short version:

Tag the [gender1]/[gender2] tags in ascending alphabetical order, instead of whatever more arbitrary standard is currently being used

etc.

That way, there's no confusion about who's on top or such, and that could be handled by a separate pair of tags (more on that later)

RE: The *morph confusion thing-

If confusion does arise from the andromorph/gynomorph tags,

i.e People think the andro/gyno- prefix refers to the penis/vagina, and not the body type respectively

Then we could possibly reverse them, to whichever one is the most intuitive

-morph means 'shape', so the tags are literally:

andromorph: maleshape (not male genitals)

• so it means 'cuntboy', which is the only one out of the relevant pair with a male bodyshape, by definition

gynomorph: femaleshape (not female genitals)

• so it means 'dickgirl', which is the only one out of the relevant pair with a female bodyshape, by definition

• Renamed forum title to:

Physical Gender Name Standardization: aliases/discussion: *penis <-> *dick or *pussy <-> *vagina (also cuntboy, dickgirl, herm, maleherm, neuter etc)

Would've added the 'Advanced [..]' prefix, but right now this is everyone's business

(not to mention the title would take a day or so to read)

• Updated OP with short version of proposed gender tags

tl;dr - you can use pussy for non-mammals and still be correct about it

After doing some tagging research with some of the tags like these, I think it may actually be *more* beneficial to alias the 'standard' names to the slang ones. Here's why, using the more readily-apparent example:

-

The point here is:

-> In cases of species who don't have a 'vagina in the strict, anatomical sense of the word (i.e. no 'birth canal'),
'pussy' is a rather fitting tag to identify the similar concept, without being 'incorrect' about name usage

This presumably extends (hah) to the male case as well- dick, cock etc, for species with no 'real 'penis

I'm not really understanding why you're listing cloaca and genital slit. Can you explain that bit further?

That's a really good question,

here are the main reasons why, using an example:

post #506464

currently tagged male genital_slit

(If you're reading this, please don't change these tags for now, until more discussion happens about it, thanks)

If you didn't know it was a part of a set, you'd likely be inclined to tag it with female pussy

which isn't wrong by any means, since that's what it looks like based on definitions of the tag female and pussy

The problem here though, is that genital slit is also technically right

And depending on species/art style/other, so is cloaca
-
Wiki for genital_slit states:

On anatomically correct scalies and avians, this should normally replaced with a cloaca, which encompasses the anus as well, but many artists prefer to draw both orifices separated. Use this tag when it is the case.

So you could tag it with pussy, genital slit, and still be 'right'
-

As for cloaca, posts like:

post #141986

could get pussy, and cloaca, and still technically be right

Since people who search for either term would likely be interested in that sort of scene

That said, I'm still not too sure what would happen with regards to the gender of the charmeleon in that first example

female is technically correct, but so is male (since that's the gender in the comic series)

However, the latter conflicts with TWYS, but it's a bit silly to have a different gender if it's part of a linear set

I'm inclined to think we should tag both male and female, but the thing about that is,

people who search for male, and see that post without the context of the comic are likely to be confused. Then, they can either:

• notice it's part of a set and enjoy the comic, or
• complain the image isn't tagged 'correctly' because it's not based on TWYS

Bit of a grey area with that, but TMK, TWYS states that posts in a Pool still get tagged individually- not using the context of the other pages/images in the Pool

Yeah. You tagged it as such. Even though the admins had already been contacted to settle the tag war, and Ippiki left a comment saying that it should be tagged as a female. :/

Whoops, saw the image with its tags before I saw your post due to there being a new page now.

If you didn't know it was a part of a set, you'd likely be inclined to tag it with female pussy

which isn't wrong by any means, since that's what it looks like based on definitions of the tag female and pussy

The problem here though, is that genital slit is also technically right

I fail to understand how "Genital Slit" is right if it isn't shown to have other genitals in this particular image, though. It's the kind of tag used for males, when it's obvious that it's a penis containing slit.

Wiki for genital_slit states:

On anatomically correct scalies and avians, this should normally replaced with a cloaca, which encompasses the anus as well, but many artists prefer to draw both orifices separated. Use this tag when it is the case.

So you could tag it with pussy, genital slit, and still be 'right'

Um, I don't think we're reading the same thing here. The cloaca replaces the pussy, meaning you can't tag pussy on cloaca.

As for cloaca, posts like:

post #141986

could get pussy, and cloaca, and still technically be right

Since people who search for either term would likely be interested in that sort of scene

Normally a person would look for posts by something along the lines of female rating:e

post #506464

currently tagged male genital_slit[/quote] i usually take note if the "slit" in question has a clit (a visible bump) at one end of it before writing it off as genital slit. that's also if there are no other female attributes such as breasts visible before considering the "slit" in question. that said, there is no clit or any other female aspects visible anywhere in that pic thus it is indeed a male (well, given how male reptiles tend to have internal naughty bits rather than external like mammals.). the pics that come after it in that set confirm the assumption that this charmeleon is male but that can be set aside for this discussion since you were just talking about that one particular pic.

Yeah, exactly!

It's somewhat easier to check for a clitoris on the more realistic/detailed posts, but on the toony/simpler ones, that's a bit difficult, since sometimes the clitoris isn't even drawn at all

like post #593789 from the example above (especially the middle row)

-

Yup, and that's the problem:

• It's correct to tag female, based on the current twys rules (if we don't question the issue of there being a clitoris or not)

• But even setting aside the rest of the comic like you said, it's also correct to tag male, since there's no clitoris, breasts, or feminine figure (this becomes even more true the further away from human/humanoid you get, and closer to feral)

So..which one is 'right'? And why?

I'm thinking we could tag both genders, with the relevant tags (female pussy, male genital_slit) for cases like that

• Which still follows TWYS (the male case to a lesser extent, but only in a more humanoid context)
• Allows everyone to be 'right', and most importantly,
• Allows the relevant content to be accurately found with the right searches
• and blacklisted with the right tags

But I'm not too sure about the long-term effects (if any) of tagging ambiguous cases like this with multiple genders/differing trait tags

Hmm, should probably make a separate topic for cloaca/genital slit gender tagging, since that's not really related to term standardization

titanmelon said:
Right, that's why female was kept, in addition to male being added (that was more than a year ago btw), but looks like someone removed the female tag afterwards too

So you're suggesting that characters should be tagged as multiple genders?

I tried suggesting the same when I was a newbie. Then several admins yelled at me for making stupid suggestions.

More tags is not always good. For example, if that post were to be tagged as both male and female, it'd show up whenever anyone searches for male female and be excluded when someone searches for female -male. And having both also means that it'd end up blacklisted more. (From what I've heard, male and female are surprisingly common blacklist tags.)

titanmelon said:
But then there are the ambiguous cases:

post #736676
note the clitoris

Most animals have a clitoris, including crocodilians and some other reptiles. So cloaca and clitoris aren't mutually exclusive, though that's clearly not a cloaca.

Which also means that humanoid_pussy is badly overtagged. All mammals and some non-mammals have a clitoris, it's not a humanoid feature.

-

Found a couple inconsistent tags of the cock_* variety, might as well mention most of them (>=50 count) while I'm at it:

• cock_ring
• cock_and_ball_torture
• cock_warmer
• cock_sock ?
• cock_vore
• cock_transformation
• cock_worship
• cock_hanging
• cock_sock
• cock_warmer ?

slyroon and Chessax raised some interesting points about the -morph tags, namely being less intuitive [initially, which is rather important when it comes to a big potential switch-over like this]

• slyroon mentioned the possibility of the -morph tags being used differently depending on context [needs confirmation]
• 'Maybe I'm just a word-purist. But i don't think we should change the meaning of a word. Just so it fits another word. When another word might exist to cover it. Or can be created at least.'

• Chessax proposed an alternate system based on tagging visible sex characteristics, combined into a single tag

Ratte and NMNY mentioned the importance of:

• maintaining a clear distinction between gender and sex
• the sociopolitical pitfalls associated with the above, in addition to
• the common[?] usage of trans- in certain circles to be synonymous with the mtf and ftm tags- either as a transformation fetish, or 'possessing a sex/gender different from one's initial sex/gender'.
• the above doesn't necessarily imply surgical procedures. [needs confirmation] Which leads into,
• being aware that 'characters drawn with mismatched parts (breasts + penis, no breasts/pecs + vagina) are not automatically trans'

Took another look at this and it does seem to be much less intuitive if you don't know what the letters are:

• pussy/penis, vagina, breasts/balls (and to a lesser extent cunt, cock, dick, or other logical names like intersex_cb for cuntboy, intersex_dg for dickgirl)

This is the biggest issue with that system, from what I can tell. Chessax and Lance_Armstrong proposed a modified variant of this
-

• People tagging intersex because they don't know what they mean or can't remember which is which (or just don't bother)

Yeah, see the next point
-

• Them getting mixed up constantly

Hm, mixing up the terms shouldn't *theoretically* be an issue, if the aliases are consistent,
but there's no intuitive way to tell which tags are which from looking at them alone [especially compared to the more common gender tags]

I'd say the 'easiest' solution for those last 2 issues would be to pick a set of standardized tags [male female breasts, balls, etc], and spell them out,
but you'll end up with ridiculously long tags, and that's just per-character:

etc.

Shortcut Aliases

hm..maybe an alias shortcut?
If the order is standardized [read:alphabetical order], then it would be easy to have unique aliases,

Note: for the purposes of this post, intersex and altersex are interchangeable terms that identify the same set of tags

• male_penis_testicles
• /mpt

• female_vagina_breasts
• /fvb

• intersex_penis_breasts_testicles
• /ipbt

• intersex_vagina
• /iv

• herm_penis_vagina_testicles
• /hpvt

• herm_penis_vagina_breasts_testicles
• /hpvbt

• Can't imply maleherm to herm anymore (a minor issue)

Never really liked the inconsistent maleherm/herm term dichotomy, tbh

imo, that should be maleherm, femaleherm, with herm used an umbrella tag for both ie

• herm(aphrodite?)
• femaleherm
• maleherm

As a trans girl and a software engineer, I feel like *morph does a good job of avoiding slurs while still being a good descriptor for tagging.

In fact I started trying to count up an exhaustive list of the tags involved. I stopped because the following issue came up:

• What do you do when anatomy cannot be reasonably inferred (eg. face-only pics)? Saying for the sake of argument that the face appears masculine, is it sensible to tag 'male_penis_testicles' on such a pic, or should it simply use 'male' in that case?

(secondarily, it also makes me wonder about pics that include penis while testicles are clearly absent, and how they should be tagged. I would guess that such pics exist, but don't know for sure.)

Yes, because people like to search not just for porn, but for safe or questionable images, too. Maybe you just want to find some images of cute females, having the images that are feminine without other traces tagged as female helps that search.

pussy/vagina & penis/cock etc

Here's a quote from @NotMeNotYou:
https://e621.net/forum/show/201312

NotMeNotYou said:
What we tag as pussy is a combination of vulva, clitoris, labia majora and labia minora, depending on what is actually visible. While the penis has a single word to properly describe the combination of the glans, corpus, and foreskin (if applicable) we lack a scientific term for the combination of those for the female genitalia.

Pussy is the most neutral term that does this, as such it is used.

Vagina on the other hand would be completely wrong since that only describes the actual vagina, which, as we all know, is the internal flesh tube and not something we actually tag, or actually are able to see on the majority of posts tagged with pussy.

I think gender should be consistent when you look at several pictures in a pool. It's not user friendly when you bump into a pool or comic to then find out that the character is of the other sex.

I also think that the "tag what you see" rule should be flexible. If you don't know, then it applies.

Sorrowless said:

That'd be problematic. Taggers are more likely to stumble on a random post in the pool, than read it in order.

Having to check the whole pool before being able to tag a single post in it is not feasible. Especially not for long comics that are posted sporadically, page by page.

Some kind of combined tag cloud for pools might be useful. Maybe it could be automatically generated and listed on the first page of the pool... Though I can imagine that it'd end up including tons of tags for some comics.

Some kind of combined tag cloud for pools might be useful. Maybe it could be automatically generated and listed on the first page of the pool... Though I can imagine that it'd end up including tons of tags for some comics.

Taggers stumbling into a random post in a pool can be forgiven. My proposal was that knowledge trumps over visuals for those reviewing an entire pool.

Update

• added forum #216820 - Root Tag Suggestion: Binary_gender/sex (Dec. 2016)

I'll try to update the suggestions in the OP eventually with regards to forum #195804 asap so things can get moving again
(it was all the way on page 3 as of posting, believe it or not)
