Loca is a reclaimed Spanish slur word used to describe extremely feminine and flamboyant non-heterosexual men and transfeminine people in Hispanic America and Spain.[1] It is comparable to words like queen, fairy, or more offensively f*g and poof.
In Spanish, similar terms include: musculoca, cola, locaza, loquita, locaza desatada, loquero (Venezuela), loquísima (Cuba), loca de atar (Peru), loca desbaratada (Colombia), loca desplumada (Cuba), loca fuerte (Miami, Chile), loca sucia (Miami, Rep. Dominicana, El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela) and loca desmetecada (Mexico).

The term can be found as a synonym for feminine homosexuals since at least the early 70s [4]
