What would be a suitable male counterpart to a "tomboy" anyway? Anngirl? Kategirl is alright, too, but it doesn't roll off the tongue the same way, where the first syllable rolls right into the second (just like tomboy does).
Femboy is the best I've seen, personally. Though it carries expectations around age as well as presentation. But no expectations of sexuality, which is unusual. (Generally under-30, sometimes under-20.) And "pink boy" is even younger (pre-puberty, usually).
Molly (or mollygirl) is the actual original opposite to tomboy. Not many people know what that means though. And it did used to imply a gay male prostitute, so...
Meterosexual is sort of in that general field of "feminine guy," but it tends to be associated with hipster pretension and is sometimes used as an insult. Also implies hetero.
Queen is pretty exclusively for gay men. So is flamer. And femme is queer world only thing I think, though it goes across the gender divide.
And then there is a long list of insults: fairy, sissy, etc. etc.
After that you hit the standard non-binary stuff: androgyne, genderqueer, etc.
Sorry. There aren't a ton of current options.
