Topic: Tag alias: genderfluid -> nonbinary_(lore)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #65118 genderfluid -> nonbinary_(lore) is pending approval.

Reason: The genderfluid tag wiki already says that it's defunct, and the nonbinary_(lore) tag wiki already says that it includes genderfluid characters.

So either genderfluid should be aliased to nonbinary, or genderfluid should be made into it's own distinct lore tag, possibly that implicates nonbinary.

I wanted to set up a BUR to move agender, genderfluid and bigender to lore, but I'm getting "Antecedent name has already been taken", I assume because of this.

My proposed BUR:

alias agender -> agender_(lore)
alias genderfluid -> genderfluid_(lore)
alias gender_fluid -> genderfluid_(lore)
alias fluid_gender -> genderfluid_(lore)
alias bigender -> bigender_(lore)
category agender_(lore) -> lore
category genderfluid_(lore) -> lore
category bigender_(lore) -> lore

The above should be rejected, as genderfluid is a specific gender/identity and should not just be aliased into a more general tag.

Do we need those tags though?

...Why not? It's something that I can see being useful for search for some people (myself included, I'd like to be able to search for agender characters). They're common enough, I don't think we need lore tags for every single identity on Earth but I think it'd be a mistake to completely throw these away. At the very least for agender and genderfluid, I'm not suuuper attached to bigender.

There's also characters that might not be considered nonbinary by their creators but are considered agender or genderfluid by them. (I sometimes see this for "null" characters and shapeshifters, where this is the norm for the character/their species biology-wise.)
