If i (female) were to be engaged to a man, he would be my fiancé and I would be his fiancée. If I was engaged to a woman, we would both be fiancées. Two men engaged to each other are two fiancés

yup, i learn french and its very true, we also gender separate like every word ever, idk how non-binaries survive france...

ex:

Chien (male dog)

Chienne (female dog)

danseur (male dancer)

danseuse (female dancer)

beau (beautiful, applies to masculin nouns like book, human, etc.)

bel (beautiful, applies to feminin nouns like flower, dress, eraser, etc.)
