It’s a type of non-binary I think. They are neither men nor women so they fall under the broad category by my reckoning. But if one of them disagrees I would defer to them on their own identities.

Fair enough. I still somewhat disagree, but we can agree to disagree on that point.

They are recognized as men who present with feminine stereotypes. There is a place carved out for them in Indian society, although it is not a high status position. Under no circumstances are these men thought of as women or anything like the western made up concept of nonbinary.
