If you're looking to describe someone's mannerisms or appearance, it's better to use more neutral and descriptive language. For example, instead of saying "He was effeminate," you could say:
* "He had a soft-spoken demeanor."
* "He was known for his elegant style."
* "He expressed his emotions openly."
If you're discussing gender roles and stereotypes, it's important to use respectful and accurate language.
Remember, language has power, and using respectful and inclusive language is crucial.
