British English spelling: to make effeminate; to cause to lose masculine qualities or become feminine.
British variant of the American 'effeminize,' using the '-ise' suffix standard in British English spelling. Both forms derive from the adjective 'effeminate' plus productive verb-forming suffix.
The British/American spelling split here (effeminise/effeminize) happened because two language communities developed separate conventions, but both words are pretty rare regardless of spelling because 'effeminate' already does the job as a verb.
British spelling of 'effeminize'; carries identical bias and historical usage.
Avoid. Use 'to express femininely' or 'to adopt gender-nonconforming presentation'.
["to express femininely","to adopt gender-nonconforming presentation"]
