Use TGTF for transformations that include gender changes? Fine. The issues is that transgender is already being used for pictures that have to do with being transgender.
This debate is all quite silly and caused by ONE person who got their proverbial panties in a twist.TFTG is a fetish term going back to the 70s, and it’s used be tens of thousands of people on furry and story sites for decades. For example, FurAffinity alone has nearly 3000 pictures tagged with TFTG. Go and see for yourself, or go to any other Booru and search for tftg, there will be countless results.5.

Given it’s own tag because many people who are into vanilla TF aren’t too crazy for the gender swapping focus of TF/TG that occurs alongside the physical form transformation.

3. Rule 63– Refers to a universe where that character was ALWAYS the other gender. (i.e. a fic about an alternate timeline were all mane six are colts, that’s a rule 63 story). And again, there’s no species swapping here.
I have never heard of that restriction before in my life, and given how the artists and image posters have been using the term, neither have they. Heck, given how many things have been aliased into it, neither have the mods. Like it or not, Rule 63 is now in common usage to refer to gender swaps of any flavor.
