View source for Effeminate

An '''effeminate''' male is one who is deliberately feminine in appearance or manner.  He may have a high-pitched female voice, or female mannerisms or deportment.  Some effeminate males regularly use make-up or have their hair long and styled in a female way. They may carry handbags, or even [[cross-dresser|cross-dress]] on a full-time basis.

It is sometimes thought that all or most effeminate men are [[gay]], but this is not the case.  On the contrary, many gay men are [[butch]].
