Description
This tag is appropriate for a character who is neither strictly male nor strictly female but exhibits apparent body features of both.
Following the 'tag what you see' rule, if a character is known to be intersex, but they are portrayed in a given image in a way that doesn't make this evident (only male or female genitalia and physical traits visible), then they are not tagged as intersex within that image, but as the apparent gender.
- For practical reasons, images that qualify for intersex tags generally aren't rated safe.
- Do not manually tag, and instead use one of the 4 intersex subtypes listed below.
