Description
"Crossgender" refers to an image featuring a character depicted in any biological gender that is not their default/original (e.g. A male version of a female character or vice versa.).
Based off of the Rule 63 Internet meme, but as a tag is inclusive to intersex characters and versions as well.
- Please note that this tag does not apply to generalized genderswaps of species that are normally composed of a single gender (ex: Chakat). It only applies based on the character's own "original" gender (e.g. A established normally male Chakat character depicted as a herm version of themselves.).
