and for the brother who asked what Mukhannath means it basically means an effeminate gay man. I can't believe he actually said that..

Plenty of scholars of old used similar expressions:

“It is prohibited for a man to cut his beard ... as for
cutting it shorter than a fist-length - as is done by
some people from the west and by the effeminate men
- no one permits this. And as for shaving it completely,
it is the doing of the Indian Jews and the Persian
Magians” [Al-Durr al-Mukhtar] And from a famous Maliki scholar, Ibn 'Abdil-Barr (rahimahuLlah):

“It is prohibited to shave the beard, and it is not done
except by effeminate men.”[Al-Tamhid]
