[[File:512px-Twink_Pride_Flag_(proposed).svg.png|thumb|219x219px|The twink flag]]'''Twink '''is a term used by [[Vincian|gay men]], referring to a subset of men who defy traditional masculinity, embracing traits that are generally seen as gendered and feminine.

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 expecations 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. |
