Hello! I’m the one who made the original thread, thanks for thinking about this. I’m also a cis male, and don’t know much about trans and intersex people, so consider anything I say with a grain of salt.
My original proposal was basically lifted from e621’s tagging rules, just as a way to start conversation: https://e621.net/wiki_pages/3294 I’d personally be fine with “I” for characters that have a “non-traditional” arrangement of genitals (including none), and it probably is easier to explain than andro/gynomorph.
I’m not too sure about the terminology myself, but my understanding is that (at least as far as e621 are concerned) andro and gynomorph refer explicitly to physical characteristics rather than gender identity. Specifically, gynomorph refers to a feminine body with a penis, and andromorph refers to a masculine body with a vagina. I think the actual gender of the characters aren’t involved in the definitions.
Of course, I’ve been known to be wrong before, and this is an area I don’t feel anywhere near qualified to speak with authority. I’d be interested to hear the thoughts of people more involved in this sort of thing.
[] for a character that looks male (or intersex) but identifies as female would be fine by me. Although that has opened up a question as to whether we use “tag what we see” or whether a character’s identity is important.
And thanks for not entertaining the terms “dickgirl”, “futa” and “cuntboy” because… Blegh.
It is. It’d be nice to just turn off from the world and not worry about things for a while.
