Gynesexual

Gynesexual or gynosexual, previously also known as femsexual, is a term with several possible definitions.

First, is the exclusive attraction to [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Woman women]. This means that [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Straight heterosexual] men, [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Lesbian lesbian] women, and [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Non-Binary non-binary] people attracted to women can be considered gynesexuals. Another word for this definition is [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Womasexual womasexual].

The second possible definition is the attraction to people who [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Gender_Presentation present] femininely, regardless of their actual gender. Another word for this definition is [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Finsexual finsexual].

Thirdly, is the attraction to "female anatomy" regardless of whether that person identifies as female, however this definition is sometimes considered transphobic, as it reduces people to their genitals.

This identity is sometimes referred to as "gynephilia" or "gynophilia," however those terms are outdated. Previously the term was used interchangeably with [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Femsexual femsexual], however they have diverged enough that they are now typically considered separate terms.

The masculine equivalent is [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Androsexual androsexual]. The romantic equivalent is [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Gyneromantic gyneromantic].

History
The term was possibly made with non-binary or [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Genderqueer genderqueer] people in mind. However, many non-binary people prefer terms like [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Finsexual finsexual], [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Venusic venusic], or [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Womasexual womasexual] to describe this attraction, because gynesexual has no agreed upon definition, which can make it's usage confusing, and it can have unfavorable connotations. The term gnyesexual is commonly used by transphobes as a reason to exclude [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Transgender trans] women because they are only attracted to "female anatomy" or "real women". Under this definition, it reduces people to their genitalia, putting [./https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Cisgender cis] women and pre-surgery trans men in the same group because they have "female anatomy". The prefix gyne- means "woman" or "female," which may imply that one sees "female anatomy" and being a woman as interchangeable.
