Trans sexual dimorphism refers to instances of sexual dimorphism when the secondary sexual characteristics are emulated or artificially created, either through body modification, prosthetics, or cosmetics. This is usually to reflect a transgender identity, but in some cases can instead be a part of crossdressing efforts.

For the purposes of this tag, male-bodied characters (andromorph and maleherm) are considered "male" and female-bodied characters (gynomorph and herm) are considered "female".

Examples

• male-to-female
• A passerine bird plucks or dyes their vibrant feathers,
• A (non-rein)deer trims their antlers,
• A Pikachu notches or wears a fake cleft on their tail.
• female-to-male
• A bird dyes their feathers vibrantly or wears fake tail feathers,
• A deer wears fake antlers,
• A Pikachu docks or wears a fake edge on the tip of their tail.

• mismatched sexual dimorphism — disparity of sexual dimorphism; does not appear to be an intentional effort, rather an anatomical inaccuracy
