This is the only thing that seems marginally relevant to our situation here, specifically where it says that "sex should be used as a classification" and "gender should be used to refer to a person's self-representation [...] or how that person is responded to by social institutions". This website at its core is not a social institution and it doesn't need to "represent" anything, even more so considering the focus on fictional characters. Its scope is that of organizing art, something which falls very much under "classification" more than anything else. So from a scientific standpoint, as that link suggests, we *should* indeed tag using sex, period.

So yeah, making this a place where transphobia is not a thing would be great you know. Cause I think most of us don't want people to die.

"If we don't tag Bridget as 1girl we are automatically transphobes and people are LITERALLY going to die" is how I read this.

Look, call me transphobe all you want, I don't even care anymore at this point. I feel like the word has lost all its meaning lately.
