The meaning of the term
- The term was not used to refer to feminine men - it was used to refer to homosexual men and love between men. Valiyan Oshkayn (talk) 11:05, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Urning is seen as an early reference to trans women (euphemized as "feminine soul in a male body") as well as feminine men. If uranian is etymologically related to urning and Ulrichs, then it carried this connotation with Symonds and the Uranian movement. If it didn't, then yeah, it was exclusive to one context. There's contention and an unclear etymology, which is why this expanded definition has to be here in some capacity (whether mentioned in the intro or in the History section) for full transparency. -Bluesprucedude (talk) 12:56, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
