Does anyone have an idea for a tag other than "herm" which I can use for both herm and mtf characters to not be offensive but to be concise in the tags? Because essentially they usually look the same to the viewer but I feel like the term herm can be offensive to people with characters who reflect themselves. I don't really want to split it into 2 tags because I often just don't know what a character is.

e621 uses gynomorph for otherwise female appearing characters with male genitalia, and andromorph for male appearing characters with female genitalia.

Thank you so much, that's good, I'll try to remember that!

Generally I would consider the term Intersex for either Mtf or FtM characters, but WDG's terms work better at a glance, too.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the 100% correct answer here is tbh. Like I think maybe trans people wouldn't like if I labaled their characters that, since intersex is more of like a body you're born with, yeah? (correct me if I'm wrong, that's how I think of it). Though I guess maybe gynomorph is kind of like that too. I just don't want to offend anyone but also there is no way I can keep track of people's identities when I post and label art so I'm looking for an all emcompassing term.

I've actually asked basically the same thing and everyone so far just says they appreciates the consideration. Going with e621 was a good idea, I think that's the way to go too.
