Memberchanging tags because that looks more like young female than a crosdresser male

PrivilegedCould just as well be a young crossdressing male. Tag as "ambiguous_gender" if needed.

PrivilegedIt's "tag what you see". Outside sources don't account for much other than character name or franchise.
For more info: check the droplist under "THE DEBATE"

MemberReally? Because a character looks feminine you can't tag it for what gender it actually is? That seems weird to me; but I guess I understand.

MemberLet's just say: If you like girls, then it's a girl, if you like boys, it's a boy.
And if you like both, it's both and so on.

PrivilegedTWYS can seem counter-intuitive sometimes when it conflicts with what we know about an image versus what can be generally be perceived. It's not a perfect system, but it works better for the majority of images.
And it's not like crossdressing twinks are the only subject where this sort of debate arises.

I agree. I'm sure most people will. Just because something is tagged as something else doesn't mean we can't enjoy it for what we decide to perceive it as.
However, it's a matter of what shows up when we're searching for whichever we prefer. Personally, I don't understand why something cannot be tagged as all three if it can fit the bill for both ambiguity and/or either gender. It's a case-by-case sort of thing, I guess.

BlockedThat doesn't work because it looks like a girl.

MemberLooks like a girl to me, so under TWYS I'm tagging male/female
user 154667
MemberYou don't SEE a girl, you interpreted a girl. There is a very important and distinct difference in those concepts. Under the TWYS rule, the character must be categorized as ambiguously gendered, because there is no visible evidence in this image-- nothing we can see-- which indicates that she is a girl over a trap, or vice versa. I retagged the image as ambiguous_gender, and removed female tag and male/female tag for this reason.
