The technical term for the phenomena is gyneandromorphophilia. It exists only in men. It's a paraphilia. They desire cross-dressed and/or feminized/feminine males, usually in addition to women, but sometimes exclusively.

Ultimately, human sexuality is too complex when you get to the edge cases to classify everything simply as het/homo/bi.

Bisexual identification among these men has been shown to correlate with another paraphilia, autogynephilia. Otherwise they usually just identify as straight.

I question if all of these guys fit into the GAMP box. To my understanding that meant attraction to people with male & female features. How do effeminate men , or even just hairless men fit into that ?

GAM, as the the object of desire, covers MTF transsexuals and/or cross-dressing. It's not exactly a black-and-white categorization. More like a gradient.
