If I remember correctly, the hadeeth in arabic mentions the word 'mukhannath' which means hermaphrodite.

correction : the word in the hadeeth i just checked is mukhannith, which could have both meanings, more inclination towards the hermaphrodite. I will inshAllah check further as well..

Any progress on this issue?

Also I have another question ,Isn't it haraam to look like the other sex? There is a hadeeth about it too...then how comes effeminate men existed at all at that time since it was haraam to imitate the other gender?
