AITB for talking about my female friends in ways that I'll never express to them in-person?

Serious

What is it called when you are a biological male, but you're rather feminine for a guy and you don't totally identity as one end of the gender spectrum, and at the same time, you don't mind making perverse jokes about your female friends?

Like I (30M) am mixed Korean-Japanese in ethnicity, and I'm into the whole bishounen thing lmao and I am somewhat into gothic lolita (not the makeup at all, just the clothes). I also relate more to my female friends than fellow men, and I prefer female therapists for my issues. At the same time, I have group chats with 3 other male friends who we've all met each other in high school, and we regularly let each other know about who we're into and we make sex jokes about the women in our lives! Breast jokes are our thing lol. We're all just normal guys

And whenever I am around my female friends, I am totally caring and considerate about them. For example, earlier this month, I was walking with a friend and we stopped at a stoplight. A man next to us started hitting on my friend, and told her "you're a very pretty girl" like some creep. We walked away when the light signaled for us, and I did check on her and tell her "I hope that guy didn't creep you out or anything".

TL;DR I do act admittedly inappropriate and "wrong" behind my female friends' backs but I stick up for them when I'm around them
