Topic: Unaliasing trans tags from invalid_tag BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #1087 is active.

remove alias ftm (0) -> invalid_tag (37)
change category ftm (0) -> invalid
remove alias mtf (0) -> invalid_tag (37)
change category mtf (0) -> invalid
remove alias non-binary (2) -> invalid_tag (37)
change category non-binary (2) -> invalid
remove alias non_binary (2) -> invalid_tag (37)
change category non_binary (2) -> invalid
remove alias trans (4) -> invalid_tag (37)
change category trans (4) -> invalid
remove alias transsexual (0) -> invalid_tag (37)
change category transsexual (0) -> invalid

Reason: Having these trans-related tags in the invalid category rather than being aliased away allows the ability to see which tag was used and replace it with an applicable, non-invalid one.

EDIT: The bulk update request #1087 (forum #313047) has been approved by @Millcore.

Should ftm and mtf be disambiguated, since they could mean crossgender or gender transformation rather than transgender?

IMO, yes.

non-binary

/non_binary could be aliased right to nonbinary_(lore), unless you think enough people may try to use it for one of the intersex tags, in which case they could be disambiguated to suggest nonbinary_(lore) and/or one of the intersex tags.

The tags in this BUR looks good overall. I think ftm, mtf, and transsexual should be disambiguated, since each of these tags could be referring to several other different tags. I think it would be fine to alias non-binary/non_binary -> nonbinary_(lore) and trans -> trans_(lore). Below are some aliases and category changes I think should be implemented after the BUR above is approved.
