Do we have (or can we make) a tag for androgynous/ambiguous/enby/etc. (1other) characters that are "genderswapped" to be distinctly male or female? Such as post #1083255 or post #4330475.

The genderswap wiki does include this on a technicality, but it's not really used in practice, possibly because there's no suitable equivalent to genderswap (mtf) and genderswap (ftm).
I would go for genderswap (otm) and genderswap (otf), but I'd like approval before I start tagging.

Go ahead and begin tagging them. If a change is necessary later we can always rename or alias the tags.
BUR #4769 has been approved by @NWF_Renim.
create implication genderswap_(otm) -> genderswap
create implication genderswap_(otf) -> genderswap
Added tags to some.
The bulk update request #4769 (forum #181118) has been approved by @NWF_Renim.

Are we gonna get tags for the other way around as well, if we even have any posts to tag them with...
Do we even have a proper tag for visibly genderless characters in the first place, besides the *other tags? ambiguous_gender and androgynous both seem intended for cases where you can't actually tell what gender the character is. The wiki pages imply androgynous may be applicable to characters which lack primary sex characteristics that ought to be visible, post #3213783 being one example I guess, but I'm not sure how commonly used it is for that purpose.
In any case, I'd suggest rolling those into genderswap_(other) or something. Honestly I'm tempted to suggest rolling the newly created tags into one tag like that as well, along with any even rarer edge cases. I'll be blown away if there are ever more than about 500 posts on the site to which any of these tags apply, so I feel like they may be overlooked and not applied to posts that should have them due to sheer obscurity.
