he-she
Combined gender pronouns
He-she is a crude or offensive term for a person whose gender presentation combines masculine and feminine characteristics, or whose sex is ambiguous.
It typically targets transgender women or effeminate men and is considered derogatory: Some drunk at the bar called her a he-she.
The term reduces a person to confused genitalia.
