Not really with the cis tag, even though I'm in the exact same boat.
If something is canon then tagging it is not necessary, people should be tagging trans character accurately, regardless of if it's their headcanon/popular. They should also specify which way the character is trans as well, which honestly people have been a lot better at than since Trans Characters became everyones new fav kink. At least they are where I lurk.

Like people tag differently for different fandoms, and tags are a mess as they are, but when you literally change the gender/body of a character then that should definitely be one of the top tags on the list. Cis wouldn't be on the radars of fandoms with little gender tags, and unless you're going by the rule 63, "has always be a girl/guy", trans fem shepard, transmasc shepard, etc, ect. There are too many variations already that adding another tag into the mix would just be even more annoying to sort through. Especially because you already know people are going to do it wrong.

This. I don't use a "trans" tag when I write about my canon's canon trans character because we all KNOW she's trans, that's canon. Anyone who is searching for fic about her knows what they want and what they're going to be getting.

I would, however, use a "cis" tag if I were writing her as being a cis girl for whatever reason because that's NOT canon and so no one would be expecting to find that in a fic.

Exactly! It's weird to me to tag for something that is canonly a part of who a character is. There's no need to add a citation unless you are changing the script/character themself! Just like you mentioned.

I honestly don't get it!

DA I tag my m/m with m/m even if it's from a canon BL series, because people do search for the "m/m" tag and want to find m/m.

It doesn't matter if it's canon or not? It's purely for sorting purposes.

If we're talking AO3, then the m/m is a separate category so it wouldn't need an extra tag.

I guess I didn't realize that a BL series explicitly meant that exactly zero other ships were allowed. Must be hard to write for a series with only two whole characters to fill the entire narrative. Your fandom must be tiny.
