٢٧٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ وَأَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُخَنَّثِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ،» وَالْمُتَرَجِّلَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ.

[1] The meaning is not to impersonate, but rather to resemble in one's dress or other manners.
Allāh ﷻ created men and women on separate nature and qualities, so the men who adopt a feminine look, guise, behavior and manner of talking or they wear feminine dress are cursed, likewise the women who adopt the look and behavior of men are cursed. Mukhannath is a man who adopts feminine behavior and talks like them and while wearing a feminine dress he behaves like women in body movements; and the Mutarajil is a woman who follows masculinity in manners of dress, behavior, movements, look and guise etc.
