tag shemale 6.0k tag dickgirl without pussy
note There are proposals to change shemale to other names, all of which have their own problems. Futanari are explicitly females with both a vagina and a penis. Dickgirl is an umbrella tag that covers both futanari and shemales, changing shemale to dickgirl causes tag clashing and confusion to the tags. Transgender obviously implies transgender status. I would hazard to guess 99% of galleries currently tagged shemale have no transgender characters. Gynomorph is for organisms that have female traits.

Too bad there's no edit button. But to continue on my last comment: If you're deep enough into the fetish, you will eventually hear shemale and understand it's meaning. But even within this particular niche, shemale's definition and usage is not universal (I would argue for most of the internet, futa is a catch-all term for both penis + vagina & vagina --> penis but that's another discussion entirely). And you have to keep in mind not everyone looking at this kind of content is some hardcore fan to begin with. To them, shemale is simply a slur or porn term for trans women.

This is far more agreeable. Though on your first comment: I want to point out that it's hardly surprising considering the complete disconnect between the tag name and it's actual (general) definition. It's like tagging bread as "meat". Of course that's going to lead to constant attempts to change it.

@fuckriri1234 It solved the problem of the other proposals trying to change the name to imply different things. Since "dickgirl" is mostly accepted, changing "shemale" to "dickgirl without pussy", removes the main reason all of those proposals exist. This is as neutral as we are going to get. Like I said previously, no one has made a proposal that does not try to change the meaning or implied meaning of the tag. Futanari are females with both a vagina and a penis. Dickgirl is the umbrella tag. Changing shemale to dickgirl causes tag clashing and confusion to the tags. Transgender implies transgender status. Gynomorph is for organisms that have female traits. Which is the opposite of what the tag is. Characters are female with one male trait.

I am tired of these proposals that keep trying to change the tag into something that it is not. So, I am proposing a purely descriptive name, no politics, no fancy words, just pure definition. This makes it obvious what the tag's intended purpose is. No implication that the character might be transgender. And more importantly it avoids almost every words that is currently and in the future will become a derrogatory term The definition of the transgender tag still needs to go through.
