Sorry if I'm out of the loop on this, but I've seen an increase in posts that tag sexes like "male", "female", "intersex", etc when the characters are ambiguous/showing no obvious signs of that sex. The "lore" tags are usually left empty as well. Am I missing something...?
Topic: Is "tag what you see" no longer a rule?

Anyone can upload posts and edit tags, so there are always mistags floating around until someone sees them and fixes it usually

TWYS being removed as a tagging policy is something that will never happen.
Sometimes, character gender can be inferred without any visible genitalia/breasts and purely from secondary sexual characteristics alone, see howto:tag genders.
If they are completely lacking in anything that could suggest their gender, then just fix the tags and make them ambiguous_gender.
Context? The site gets ~2000 posts/day and tagging doesn't exactly scale well.
