Let's think of a man, a man who acts very feminine in many ways. Someone might call him a man (term applied loosely), because he isn't very manly, or what most people would think of when they think of a "man". But technically speaking, he is a man, and not a woman.
So it means technically they are a man/lady, but they're probably not what you think of when you hear that, maybe they don't fit the definition very well in the opinion of that person.

@keirahhh honestly i'm terrible with examples, and it's not a common thing to say/hear in my opinion, but you can hear it from time to time of course.
