note Virtually the same, while gender morph is a different concept involving a slower transition, this tag is used interchangeably and makes searching a little annoying

Gender morph is not the same as gender bender. Gender bender is for when a character switches genders.
Gender morph is for when a charater is shown to transforms into a different gender.

Yup n Yup, same with gender change.

I get where you are coming from, but the thing with tags is, they can be used to include AND exclude galleries from a search.
Having tags the are subtags can let people search for say crossdressing, but exclude male to female crossdressing.

@akashako I know, that's why I mentioned your idea of "parent and child tags", I do believe that it would be great and as shown is needed in cases like this. Because it ALWAYS gets those two tags, it just seems redundant to slap all three whenever a 'gender morph' takes place inside a work, you do get where I am coming from here right?

While gender bender and transformation are a requirement, those two tags being present does not neccesserily mean that gender morph is present in the gallery.

@akashako No it ain't, the gender morph tag doesn't help taxonomy at all, every gallery that has it also gets gender-bender+transformation tag by default, it is really redundant. The problem is not there is no difference, the problem is there is so little of a difference which can be, and is being, helped by the transformation tag to differentiate.
This can only exist if your suggestion of "parent and child tags" are implemented properly. Unless that happens, unfortunately gender morph is redundant.

This is bad. The whole point of this system is to be able to properly tag and describe what a gallery contains. Saying stuff is tagged poorly is why we are fixing it.

See discussion here: merge gender change → gender bender +2279
Short version: There are differences.
