In what case are tags like (a) taller_female, shorter_male, etc. used instead of (b) larger_female, smaller_male, etc?
Alternative (a) is used much less frequently, but I see its usefulness in cases where the scale difference is mostly vertical, or when characters have proportions that strongly suggest either tall or short height. If (b) is the only legitimate one, as you might assume from it being used the vast majority of the time, shouldn't (a) be invalidated?

Taller_* and shorter_* should probably just be aliased to larger/smaller. They mean the same thing

The bulk update request #5690 is active.

create alias taller_female (4) -> larger_female (66579)
create alias taller_male (9) -> larger_male (107126)
create alias taller_intersex (2) -> larger_intersex (7803)
create alias taller_gynomorph (0) -> larger_gynomorph (6534)
create alias taller_andromorph (0) -> larger_andromorph (125)
create alias taller_ambiguous (0) -> larger_ambiguous (3948)
create alias shorter_female (3) -> smaller_female (63270)
create alias shorter_male (6) -> smaller_male (106449)
create alias shorter_intersex (0) -> smaller_intersex (2973)
create alias shorter_gynomorph (0) -> smaller_gynomorph (1802)
create alias shorter_andromorph (0) -> smaller_andromorph (581)
create alias shorter_ambiguous (0) -> smaller_ambiguous (7884)

Reason: see above. Height_difference is already aliased to size_difference

Included all the genders for completeness
