Used when the gender of a character in the image is not apparent from the image (no genitals or other clues like sexual dimorphism are visible), and/or when there are mixed signs as to whether the character is male or female (wide hips plus broad shoulders, fashion, etc.).

This tag is occasionally misunderstood to refer to characters with gender identities that differ from their physical sex. In those cases, please add the appropriate lore tags, such as nonbinary (lore), transgender (lore), and their related tags, instead.

This tag has also had a history of deliberate misuse on characters that have obvious or otherwise known genders as a form of protest against the site's gender-tagging rules. Please remove these instances as you would any other unfitting tag.
