Effeminate
Effeminacy or male femininity[1][2] is the embodiment of feminine traits in boys or men, particularly those considered untypical of men or masculinity.

The research published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Sex Roles is believed to be the first experimental study to demonstrate status costs for gay men who present with more feminine than masculine qualities across workplace hierarchies.
