I would actually disagree with using the genderswap tag for senou natsuru. Think about Kashimashi: Girl meets girl, Hazumu is a boy that gets turned into a girl after a tragic spaceship accident. (in case you haven't seen/read it). Even if Natsuru goes in between genders, it's still canon. Genderswap is when you take a character and make him or her the opposite gender that he or she is in the series. However since Natsuru is both male and female, genderswap of him is impossible. I get the feeling that it's something that's gonna be debated for a long time, though.

That description for the tag is ancient...
Right know is:
"When some person, due sirscunstances of life, has his/her gender changed.
Also applies when a person is despicted with the opposite gender he/she has."
And so, Fem Natsuru is a genderswap.

Anon2: that is certainly an acceptable definition of genderswap, but it is not the only possible definition. The real purpose of tags is for finding and/or blocking out certain aspects of an image that the user wants/doesn't want to see. So if someone is upset by the idea of genderswap or genderchanging in general, adding -genderswap will block out images like this, which is what that user wants. This is the same reasoning used for tagging images that 'look like loli' as 'loli' regardless of the character's age in proper context; it's just about helping users find or block what they want, not necessarily documenting the facts about the characters in the picture.
