For native trans women performers such as Carmen Moore,Jessica Fox, Tera Firma etc.
You might need to add the other aliases that come with Native Woman for consistency and the entire cultures and peoples behind indigenous backgrounds and cultures
I’m okay with that, but we can’t duplicate exact aliases. It’ll toss an error
Edit application failed:
Unknown Error: Error creating TagAlias: pq: duplicate key value violates unique constraint “tag_aliases_alias_key”
So how would we change the other aliases so they’d work? We could just add Trans in front of each alias. However, before we do that is there a better option?
The other aliases currently for Native woman are - Aboriginal, First Nations, First Peoples, Indigenous, Native, Native American, Native Peoples
A lot of those aliases assume the gender of the performer is female. The tag Aboriginal could apply to a male, female, trans-female, trans-male, etc.
I think if the tag is gender-non-specific, then it should be an alias of a gender-non-specific tag, so Aboriginal should just be an alias of a tag called Native.
I would propose this:
Description: Performers with broadly indigenous racial backgrounds from a largely colonized country.
Category: Race
Aliases: Aboriginal, First Nations, First Peoples, Indigenous, Native, Native American, Native Peoples
Description: Female performers with broadly indigenous racial backgrounds from a largely colonized country.
Category: Race
Aliases: Native Female
Description: Male performers with broadly indigenous racial backgrounds from a largely colonized country.
Category: Race
Aliases: Native Male
Description: Trans-female performers with broadly indigenous racial backgrounds from a largely colonized country.
Category: Race
Aliases: Native Trans-female
Description: Trans-male performers with broadly indigenous racial backgrounds from a largely colonized country.
Category: Race
Aliases: Native Trans-male
This way, if the tag doesn’t specify a gender, it will “map” the tag as an alias to just Native, which will be correct for any gender performer.
Native Female will map, by being an alias, to Native Woman
Native Male → Native Man
Native Trans-female → Native Trans Woman
Native Trans-male → Native Trans Man
