Is there a reason ranma-chan isn't considered a gender swap?

Noticed recently that images with the female ranma aren't tagged with genderswap(most anyway). Riderfan brought up the fact that naruko gets the tag is because it's illusion. Then again female rito is also canon like ranma-chan but it gets the genderswap tag.

Honestly, to me a genderswap implies that it's non-canon (except in stuff like Midnight Bliss). If Naruko is a genderswap then so is Ranma-chan, but I'd say neither is one. A genderswap is intrinsically fan-created.

Anyway, yeah I guess I can't help!

While the non-canon qualification isn't a bad idea in theory, we don't seem to be following it at the moment so I'd say it's fine to add genderswap to female Ranma.

Should we decide to specify that genderswap is non-canon sex changes only, we can remove it from the relevant characters at that time, but I think there would be some murky areas (like naruko, as mentioned).

Or Kyonko. We had this discussion before I think.

Kyonko is not canon, though, and it seems like most Kyonko images already have genderswap applied. So the ranma-chan/naruko issue is a bit more complicated. Though I still say go with generswap.

Yeah, I certainly don't object to that.
