    So just had a random thought after seeing a couple of stories about guys being turned into women against there will and it got me wondering it wouldn't be worth having a distinct genre tag for this on the site.

    I just don't think that "Oh no I took a drug/made a wish/was cursed by a wizard and now I am a woman" is the same thing as "I know in my heart of hearts that I was born in the wrong body".

    I don't want anyone to think this is some kind of moralizing handwringing I just think that, considering the number of the first kind of story, it might be worth having a separate genre for it. Most likely called something like "Transformation"

    I very much agree.

    Are you proposing adding a new category or do you just want to find out what others think about it?

    basically seeing what others think before I post in the suggestions thread. I didn't really think about it I just sort of posted it.

    An excellent point. If there isn't already a separate category for gender transformation there should be.

    Oh, there was another thread about that recently, though there isn't a suggestion which is exclusively about a Transformation category yet.
