The term has been used as a catch-all for anything breaking gender norms.

Cadi derives from the girls name Catrin and was often used as a pejorative towards Queer people. A similar given name-based term in English is Nancy.

Male maypole dancers dressed in women's clothes were sometimes called Cadi, hence why today it has been on my mind!

The Stonewall Cymru glossary from 2016 uses the spelling Cwiar. While Cwiyr appears only sporadically online.

Sadly, linkrot and poorly archived websites have eroded what digital evidence remains for these terms online.

Do you have any print material using these terms? I'd be delighted to compare notes if so!
