Gynesexual
Gynesexual describes a person who is sexually or romantically attracted to women, female-presenting people, or femininity, regardless of their own gender.
Gynesexual, also spelled gynosexual and closely related to gynephilic, describes attraction to women, female-presenting people, or femininity. What sets it apart from words like straight, gay, or lesbian is that it names only the object of attraction and says nothing about the gender of the person feeling it. A man, a woman, a nonbinary person, or anyone else can be gynesexual. The term is especially useful for people whose own gender does not fit neatly into a binary, since it lets them describe who they are drawn to without forcing their identity into a male or female frame. Its counterpart is androsexual, attraction to men or masculinity.
