howto:tag feral genders

[Back: howto:index]

Note1: This is a relatively advanced article about feral anatomy. A simplified one for regular use/reference may become necessary in the future.

If you have suggestions for a simpler article, find any errors, or something else related to feral genders, then feel free to mention it in forum \# or DMail me

Note2:Information in this entry is relatively new/undiscussed (as of February 2016) and based on anecdotal practices/observations on e621.

Some observations and practices may not represent any agreed or standardized rules/guidelines. It is presented here purely for referential purposes.

i.e: Use the information on this page as a guide, not a rule.

Please update this article with relevant information about agreed standards/practices once it becomes available.

Navigation

Focusing exclusively on the feral body-type, this page documents the various zoologoical, psuedo-zoological methods, and summarized tidbits about identifying a feral character's physical gender on e621.

Some official (and unofficial) scientific terms to know

Relevant tags are listed below.

Primary sex characteristics - Ususally refers solely to the genitals

List of Some Primary Sex Characteristic Tags in use

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intromittent_organ
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonopore

Secondary sex Characteristics/Other (to be expanded)

Usually includes features like breasts, muscles, body hair, in humans, along with other things like fat deposits, waist:hip ratios etc.

But in non-humans, especially non-mammals, there can be a staggering list of these:

Physical features
  • Body markings
  • Differing physiology
    • Os pubis not present in cert
  • Scent glands
  • Size
  • Divergent Behaviour (usually during mating periods)
    • Mating ritual behaviour
    • Physical body changes

Uncommonly-encountered Genitalia

Cloaca - Usally present in both biological males and females

Some cases where this differs:

Avians
  • Male ostriches have both a cloaca and a conical shaped penis that is wider at the base.

Psuedo-penis

Fossa

Hyena

Ovipositor

Usually located near the cercus

Other

Arachnids
  • Both males and females have a 'genital slit'
    • Males spiders do not have a penis. See Wikipedia: "":
    • Female spiders do not have a vagina.See:

Wikipedia: Epigyne - External genitala ('pussy')
Wikipedia: Spermatheca - Internal genitalia ('vagina')

Insects
