hello! i apologise in advance if this is an odd request or a type of request you don’t do! i was wondering if you knew of any gender labels/xenogenders that pertain to “effeminate men”? when i say effeminate, i mean things like drag, and other such types of femininity that’s usually associated with queer men. i found “rosboy” but i felt that its definition was too broad for me personally. i tried looking around but couldn’t find any identities that fit, and i’m too nervous to coin my own term 😅
Sorry I didn’t see this until now! If you’re nervous about coining your own term but you have something it mind, you could always try submitting it to me or another MOGAI blog that accepts submissions. For now, though, here’s what I’ve got:
(Bear in mind that I’ve shortened the definitions to highlight what’s likely most relevant to your question.)

Effeminogender - An identity expressed through effeminacy or a gender tied to being effeminate
Lavender boy - A derogatory term for mlm and effeminate men dating back to the 1920s that has since been reclaimed
Lavenian - A gender-nonconforming turian/gay man (turian-exclusive, ofc)
Venusboy - I can’t find the original post, but it was suggested as an alternative to f*mboy
