  Bifauxnen - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Bifauxnen, a portmanteau of the French faux (false) and the Japanese bishōnen (beautiful boy), is a term used amongst American anime and manga fandom to refer to an androgynous female character who resembles a handsome young boy, especially in shōjo and josei stories.
Bifauxnen usually embody a fetishized version of various sterotypical lesbian traits, such as a 'rough' or masculine manner of speech (frank opinions, and use of the pronouns boku and ore).
Bifauxnen are often popular even among straight characters because they embody many attractive traits found in males but have a degree of personal understanding of other women.

Bifauxnen, a portmanteau of the French faux (false) and the Japanese bishounen (beautiful boy), is a term used amongst American anime and manga fandom to refer to an androgynous female character who resembles a handsome young boy, especially in shoujo and josei stories.
Bifauxnen are less used in the bishoujo-laden demographics of shounen or seinen, although sometimes boyish women are used because shows wish to keep a cast strictly female.
Bifauxnen are contrasted with the other popular yuri archetype, the onee-sama(classically feminine, beautiful, intelligent, and graceful) The latter has become more well known in recent years, and bifauxnen are used less extensively in shoujo, although Utena Tenjou has become a recent poster child for the type.
