I'm an Infp female and I notice there may be patterns between MBTI and gender. But people are different though and not all Fs are more feminine than thinkers. I have SP, xNFJ, and NT female friends who are all tomboyish while I'm honestly a girly girl myself. I also have more girly friends that are SFJs, me being tomboyish compared to them. I actually like some things tomboyish, but people always see me as girly, I think because we infps have F Dom and no Se which makes us come across as that when we're actually not. Strangely, this isn't the case for enfps, as I saw many tomboyish ones who are quite masculine. If I were to say which types are more masculine or girly, well it all depends because MBTI in males are different from that of females in gender roles. I'd say:
T is masculine, but that doesn't mean F is feminine. And Se itself is masculine while Si is conforming and N doesn't conform. Ne might be more slightly feminine, especially for NFP males.
Ideal Male: ST
Neutral: SF, NT
Feminine Men: NF (Despite being feelers, they're the least conforming to gender roles, especially NFJs.)
Tomboy: SP, NT, ET (Yes, ISFPs and ESFPs, as far as I knew, are very athletic and risk taking, so I'd say they're the most masculine feelers, perhaps NFJs and ENFPs are also tomboyish as well. ISTJ girls on the other hand aren't boyish or very girly, just neutral.)
Girly Girl: ISFJ (I didn't add ESFJ or INFP yet because as far as I know INFPs aren't stereotypically girly and ESFJs could be quite masculine.)
I'm not sure who agrees or disagrees, but I really think it's the individual themself who could control their identity.
