Unnecessary drama and dragging out discussions is discouraging to readers. Therefore this will be interpreted as a toxic environment which artists may not want to be a part of. I'm neutral on the situation thus not exclusionary, no matter how you personally interpret it. What is truth or fiction isn't even relevant to the debate of tagging convention, but how is it helpful to anyone who wishes to become a woman or man to be labeled a transsexual? The segregation into a third sex isn't beneficial. That question is relevant to you, not to tagging convention. My last message to you on this matter is a question of why you are here? You have zero activity on your profile, and it seems you are only here to discuss this one topic. Do you enjoy arguing over sexuality? If so, you will get much more enjoyment on platforms more tailored towards political discussions, or even twitter.
Yeah so, as I thought you don't look like a bad person, so yeah, I understand that this all looks like drama, but if you are interested in why this is not, here are some articles.
And I KNOW, I am tiresome with all my "studies here, studies there". But this is one of the only tool we have to understand reality in the best way possible. Alone we cannot understand sh*t.
Here are some interesting things that might interest you and explain why this is important, not only to me, but a lot of people around the world :

-Some non gender related thing, because trying to be inclusive yknow https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/83064/DiscriminationBiasCampus.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
And it goes, way, way deeper than that. One example would be to look at what people say, there are literally people saying "Biology says there is only male and female !" which is wrong and used by transphobes, and they will be perfectly fine on this site ! And yes I find it outrageous. That's why I'm here. (Also I am in Computer Science, so talking about how hard it is to change tags to me is not really it xd, gimme some time and I code this for you lol)
Anyway, I wish you the best, and no joking (idk why people think I'm sarcastic when I'm not lol)
