[[File:512px-Twink_Pride_Flag_(proposed).svg.png|thumb|219x219px|The twink flag]]'''Twink '''is a subcultural term used by [[Vincian|gay men]], referring to a subset of [[Male|men]] who defy traditional [[Masculine|masculinity]], embracing traits that are generally seen as gendered and [[feminine]]. Twinks may be defined by physical appearance, tastes, expression of traditionally gendered traits, or personal affiliation.
The generic image of a twink is a thin man lacking facial hair and often body hair as well, who may or may not dress in ways that are not typically considered masculine. The twink aesthetic can usually be considered cleanly composed and non-compliant with the expectations generally held of men, and aligns relatively closely to city fashion trends. Twinks tend to be the origin of several [[gay]] stereotypes, particularly the effeminate ones.
The twink label did not originate as part of a sub-culture, but is instead a descriptive term for gay men who break with traditional gender norms and embody a particular subset of presentation.

The twink flag
While the meanings of the colors are unknown, the pink stripe is commonly seen as a celebration of the effeminate nature of many twinks. The central white stripe bears an interlocking pair of Mars symbols, often used as a symbol of homosexual men.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210704210443/https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/06/01/all-of-the-flags-you-might-see-at-pride-and-what-they-mean/</ref>
