Who cares? The character looks like a boy, he should be tagged as boy. Otherwise all pictures of crossdressing otoko_no_ko count as "flat-chested newhalf".

He doesn't even have any sort of noticeable breasts. That's not a newhalf no matter how hard you try to warp the concept.

probably most trans people and anybody with a heart cares you bigot

I don't upload, fave, or engage with NSFW content so I really don't have much of a dog in the race. But I think I have similar opinions to you and I have to be honest: you're barking up the wrong tree here on Danbooru specifically. The culture of this site is not one that's conductive to this mindset. We don't cave to people who flag loli as irl pedophilia, nothing tagged with "bad pixiv id" or "bad twitter id" is swept even though the artist obviously wanted to erase it, we ignore the plain English "Do not repost my work to another site" notice on many an artist's Pixiv -- so why would we respect an artist's wish that their character with huge tits and a clit be specifically tagged and referred to as a boy?

Danbooru has and will continue to have a fannish current that runs opposite to the tide. It is built into this site. An unofficial and at times unwelcome aggregate for artists works practically has to have this. Danbooru is an archival site, a (direct quote from the wiki, btw) "repository of high-quality anime-style art and doujinshi" and the archivist's methods of categorizing will always differ from the creator. An artist can't control what or how someone interprets and tags it.

This isn't at all to say that this can't ever change or we can't have this discussion again (and again, and again, and again...). But as of right now, a lot more would have to change on Danbooru then simply "tag trans women as women" boils down to, and you need to approach it that way instead of resorting to name calling or accusations of bigotry.

Tags are meant to be used for searching and for blacklisting, not for describing a character. That's what Fandom wikis and external repositories are for. Danbooru is just a collection of pictures, not concepts.
I'm sorry you don't like this, but it's just how this site works.

Just thought I'd say that's not necessarily always going to be the case so I don't see keeping things with those tags as such a negative thing
