Topic: Just making sure I have the authority

Posted under General

Is trans_(lore) a tag I'm fine to impose on posts featuring my own characters without fuss? As in there's a post here of a commission of my characters, tag what you see dictates that it's male/female, but one of them's a trans man.

the lore tags are generally going to be based on intent so, yeah, any lore tags for your characters should be fine.

and it's notable that the trans tags (as well as stuff like nonbinary, and the familial relations tags) are always going to be applicable to a post regardless of what is in the general tags, most of the other lore tags are specifically to say that the charactet's identity/actual anatomy/whatever disagrees with one of the general tags.

the only time this gets messy is when an artist draws a character and they specifically disagree with canon of the characters, at which point lore tags are based on the artist's intention, but usually you don't have to worry about that. most of the time we just assume that the artist agrees with the character's backstory.
