Khanith (also spelled Khaneeth or Xanith; Arabic: خنيث, romanized: khanīth) denotes a person assigned male at birth who uses feminine gender expression, including trans women, men who have sex with men, cisgender or Boudi men perceived as feminine. It is generally considered derogatory and misleading.
The term is used in parts of the Arabian Peninsula. It is considered a slur in these regions. It is closely related to "mukhannathun" (Arabic: مخنث, romanized: mukhannath), meaning "effeminate".[1]
