I'd also like to respond to the two mods who posted before Sev killed the conversation. Overall, I'd also like to point out that no one has been yelling or arguing in a combative manner except for the mods themselves. We've been at 5. Ya'll be responding at an 11.
Because last I checked, Transgender and Transsexual are two different things. The trans tag is short for Transsexual, which is why Futa is mixed in. From what I've seen, it's only a cross dresser that's playing the role as a Transgendered. There's no modification of the body for it to have the trans tag to begin with. And again, we go by visual with the tags. Has nothing to do with disrespecting the Futa/Trans tag or the Trap tags or someone's viewpoint. The gay tag was added based on those visuals. It doesn't matter if a character believes it's a woman, it only matters that there's NO modification on the body to warrant this thus the gay tag was added in.
Eden is Transgendered. She's young and uses the modern vernacular. She's on puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy. She's growing breasts and a butt, thus modifying her body, and that's kind of friggin amazing for our modern times. We got pills and injections that can turn you into a freakin' chick, no surgery required.
A crossdresser is a gay or straight guy dressed as a woman. At the end of the day, they go back to being a man. Eden is permanently aligned with the female gender.
Maybe there's an age gap here, but your use of transsexual is outdated, as mentioned by the dictionary.com link you shared. It ultimately confuse people who assume, like most, that Trans is short of transgendered, not transexual. By your standards, we should actually remove the trans/futa tag because there are zero transsexuals in my game.
If i remember correctly, You had that scene as an option right? people can choose to see it or not.
IF that's the case, they have no reason to bitch its in the game. They chose to see it, so they saw it
If its not optional, i would suggest making it optional, this way you will cater to all types of players and not be bullied by the haters.

Pretty sure the people that hated it, didnt realize eden was trans and were surprised to see it. they got a confused boner and got scared.
Eden is identified as trans the second that you see her. Her content is presented as optional, but it's a running gag that you will be woke-shamed for trying to opt-out. Essentially, my reasoning has been, "Well, if you don't want it to be sexy, I'm going to make it funny." For example, if you try to opt out of their first scene, you're are presented another version of that scene read to you by Willem Dafoe, who's voiced by Gilbert Godfrey.

Overall, I'm coming to the realization that most of the mods have not played my game and are gauging it based on second-hand comments, which is a problem if I'm writing a comedy and satire that often parodies visual novel tropes. The most prime example is the addition of the Netotare tag.
Time travel is involved in the story, and at one point, the MC's sister hooks up with his lesbian best friend, thus buttfucking the timeline with a
New Timeline Revision or NTR. The characters then pull a meta South Park and start talking about how much they hate NTR and literally go back in time to stop the NTR from happening. Graphically, all we see of that NTR is three animation loops of some lesbian grinding, intercut with a battle between a Cyborg and freakin T-rex. I'm not playing into any NTR fetish at all. That's not sexy. I'm making fun of it. Still, that gets the NTR tag. It's like the mods slapped "cannabilism/vore" on
A Modest Proposal.
I get you're trying to protect users from seeing things they don't want to see, but the extent and application of the content really needs to be taken into consideration. People looking for Gay visual novels are not going to like my very straight game. People trying to avoid NTR or gay content are going to miss out on a fun time because they're putting way too much weight on what the tags promise instead of what the game actually has. Also, it's satire much of the time. Yeah, that characters blowing a dog, but that dog is also voiced by Joe Rogan. You can't jerk off to that. You can laugh, though.
