As Iāve noted in the Japanese above, I believe that there is no neat and tidy term forĀ āokamaā for the simple fact that there are many similar but distinct definitions and usages for the term that each produce differing English translations.Ā
āOkamaā is a derogatory Japanese term used to refer to feminine men in general (attempts at reclaiming the term have been made by various groups), and sees use as a term referring to gay men (both masculine and feminine), transgender women (FtM, New Halfs, etc.), cross-dressing men (the old parlance would have been the term ātransvestiteā, but I understand that the term is falling out of favor), feminine men in general, and others.
Thus, the safest and least inaccurate general translationĀ I can offer is to simply romanize the term asĀ āokamaā. However.Ā If the usage of the term is distinct and contextually apparent in the Japanese source text (i.e. specifically or contextually referring to gay men, transgender women, etc.), then my personal preference would be to translate the term with that usage in mind.
In writing these paragraphs though, it does occur to me that the phrase āfeminine menā that I literally just wrote down without thinking is a passable translation, if limited in scope and inaccurate without context.
