What’s everyone’s opinion on adding gender-specific crossdressing tags like crossdressing_male and crossdressing_female? I mostly ask because it’s really difficult to find posts with crossdressing females. tomboy is full of non-crossdressing characters and tomboy crossdressing leads to crossdressing males with non-crossdressing tomboys. crossdressing female tomboy -male is the current search I use, but there’s not that many results and plenty of posts with crossdressing females are likely filtered out with that search. I think it would just make more sense to have gender-specific crossdressing tags so that it’s easier to find.

It's not an exact match but drag_king and drag_queen exist

i think those refer more to the whole culture of drag as entertainment, usually drag is highly performative and flamboyant compared to regular crossdressing.

also as the tags' wikis say, character don't necessarily need to be crossdressing for the tag to apply, as there are female drag queens and male drag kings.

maybe that would still be crossdressing...? I mean, if you think about it, since being a drag queen considered a thing for men, wouldn't that mean a woman drag queen would technically be breaking gender norms and therefore be crossdressing?

ehh... either way, it's not really a great solution to the problem posed. honestly, crossdressing probably should oughtta have male and female sub tags. it really is difficult to sort for either one, and it's not difficult to see why someone would want to, especially with one being way less common than the other. they're also kinda, y'know toally inverse situations.

Sounds like some posts need tag cleanup.

tomboy is just the inverse of femboy. there's no issue with it being tagged on posts with female characters who aren't crossdressing.

That's why I said it's not an exact match
It's similar in concept, but it's true that they are separate from gender tags
