See, here's the thing. Your post was about multiple words. My reply was about multiple words. Now you're only going on about one word. I brought up this example as a demonstration of how meanings change over time and you're only showing how words stagnate, how words aren't ALLOWED to change meaning. I'm going about this from a linguistic standpoint.
Besides, "effeminate" and "flamboyant" are not inherently used as insults. They are a lot of the time, but that doesn't make the words or concepts themselves inherently insulting when brought up. It depends on user, on context, on a lot of things.
