Unlike many other art sites, e621.net has a tagging policy called "Tag What You See" (aka: "TWYS"). With very few exceptions, TWYS says that all tags on a post must be directly verifiable within the post itself. Example: a solo picture of what APPEARS to be a male character will be tagged "male". Even if the character was defined as "female" on other sites by the artist or character owner themselves, the picture would still need to be tagged "male" on e621, because of the TWYS policy.
A shemale? Since when the hell was that an offensive term?! They’re the ones that started calling themselves that in the first place! Would you rather me say “dickgirl” or “cockwoman”? What the fuck else are we supposed to use to specify a female-male transgender? This is E6, tags are tags and comments are comments. A “extremely derogatory term”… so is it like the n-word now? Is it the way that everyone called someone something(including themselves) and now it’s racist/sexist for anyone except themselves and alike to say? Last sentence is a genuine question.

It's always been pretty offensive. I have literally, never heard a single trans woman refer to themselves as a shemale. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of my trans friends would react to that comment exactly how clever did, if not worse. So the answer to your last question is no, because it was never something that the majority of trans women called themselves.

MemberWhat's with the locked tags on this one? Lia's a shemale.

MemberRight. Tags should be "dickgirl" and not "male".
But maybe people are following the tag-what-you-see rule...
But that still doesn't make Lia a male.

MemberI'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say that is not a typically male physique. Therefore, it should probably be tagged 'dickgirl'.
