Gynesexual , or gynosexual , previously known as femsexual , is a sexual orientation with several possible definitions.

Gynesexual may be synonymous with womasexual . This definition describes exclusive attraction to women . This label does not specify the gynesexual individual's own gender identity , which means that heterosexual men , gay women, and non-binary individuals attracted to women may be considered gynesexual.

Gynesexual may be synonymous with femsexual . This definition describes attraction to individuals with feminine gender presentations , regardless of their gender identity.

Gynesexual may describe attraction "female anatomy" regardless of the target individual's gender identity. This definition is often considered transphobic as it reduces individuals to their genitals. Attraction that is influenced by anatomy is generally considered a sexual preference rather than a sexual orientation, and individuals who identify with this definition may find the label imprisexual to be a less transphobic alternative. This definition is sometimes referred to as "gynephilia" or "gynophilia," however this term is outdated.

The masculine equivalent of gynesexual is androsexual . The romantic equivalent is gyneromantic .

The term was possibly made with non-binary or genderqueer individuals in mind. However, many non-binary individuals prefer terms like finsexual , venusic , or 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 gynesexual is commonly used by transphobes as a reason to exclude trans women because they are only attracted to "female anatomy" or "real women". Under this definition, it reduces individuals to their genitalia, putting 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.

The pink was taken from the trans flag to symbolize attraction to women. It is also presumably to show that trans women are real women. The brown represents stability and support. The green was taken from the genderqueer flag, it symbolizes attraction to femininity and also implies that this term was made for genderqueer/nonbinary individuals. It is uncertain the origin of this flag.

nb people: if you're only attracted to women, u can call urself gynesexual, + if you're only attracted to men, u can call urself androsexual


If the Brawny man kinda-sorta turns you on, you might be androsexual. Andro-what? The term basically means you’re turned on by masculinity. More into Kim K’s super-femme vibe? You could be a gynesexual—someone who’s turned on by femininity.


Macaela Mckenzie, Women's Health , February 2018

sometimes I think abt how my allocishet bf who probs doesn’t know what intersectionality means had no problem accepting me and calling me a good boy but my progressive friend decided she didn’t have a crush on me anymore bc she’s a True Lesbian & not a “gynesexual” into afab nbs

Someone who is gynesexual identifies as being attracted to femininity or the female anatomy, regardless of whether the object of one’s affection identifies as a woman.
With the prefix gyne- coming from the Greek for “woman,” gynesexual is a sexual orientation that describes someone who is attracted to females or female body parts, regardless of whether that person identifies as female. Examples include someone who is transgender or a cisgender male who presents as feminine. That means that heterosexual men and lesbians are gynesexuals , but the term is especially meant for when a person is attracted femininity in nonbinary or genderqueer persons.
Gynesexual flag / MOGAI Encyclopedia
The term is mentioned in Nancy Chodorow’s best-selling 1978 book The Reproduction of Mothering: Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Gender in a discussion of Freud’s theory of sexuality (i.e., children’s original attraction to mothers). It also appeared in 1997 Usenet forums on transgenderism and sex reassignment, discussed as sexual attraction to femaleness. By 2014, it was defined on Urban Dictionary amid the growth of greater gender and sexuality inclusion online.

Gynesexual is also referred to as gynephilia -philia , a suffix meaning “love of,” although it’s often simply shortened to gyne . Its counterpart is androsexual , or attraction to masculinity regardless of gender identification.
The term sees use as a self-identifier for one’s sexual orientation…

…as well as wide-ranging discussions of gender and sexuality more generally.
jealous that androsexual (attraction to masculinity regardless of genitalia, includes masc NB dudes, etc) is such a nice word, but the opposite word for attraction to femininity (gynesexual) just sounds like something a doctor went to jail for
— Garreth (@Banjo_Kaluigi) September 5, 2018
Gynesexual a useful term to discuss attraction to constructions of femininity without labeling persons as female or as of binary gender, though some in the LGBTQ may challenge the concept.
i dont trust people who describe themselves as gynesexual bc 9 times out of 10 theyre being really cissexist

This is not meant to be a formal definition of gynesexual like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is
rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of gynesexual
that will help our users expand their word mastery.

https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-gynosexuality https://lgbta.fandom.com/wiki/Gynesexual https://sexuality.fandom.com/wiki/Gynosexual https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gynosexual

Gynesexuality , or gynosexuality , describes the sexual orientation of people who are attracted to femininity, feminine qualities, or someone who identifies as female. As opposed to, for example, someone who is homosexual or heterosexual, gynosexuality does not describe the gender identity of the person to whom sexual attraction is experienced, but rather their presentation. The Urban Dictionary has the following definition on its site: "Someone that is sexually attracted to feminine individuals, or woman, or people that “look” like a woman."
The definition of gynosexuality is derived from the prefix "gyne," which is Ancient Greek for "woman," "feminine," or "female." Literally, then, the term gynesexual means someone who is sexually attracted to women, femininity, or females. This means that, for example, in contrast to a sexuality like gay, straight, or lesbian, this sexual orientation basically focuses on feminine presentation, rather than whether someone identifies as female. 
This also means that anyone can be gynesexual, regardless of their gender. However, it should be noted that, for straight men, gynesexuality is not the same as being heterosexual. Conversely, for women, being gynesexual is not the same as being lesbian.
There are also a few other names for gynesexuality. Some of these have the same or similar definitions, others imply a slight difference. There are also other related terms. Here, we list a few examples.
Femsexual is a word that is not in use anymore. It used to be defined the same way gynesexual is now but its usage has been discontinued.
Gynophilia, or gynephilia, is a contraction of the Ancient Greek prefix"gyne" and "philia," meaning love. The term is defined on WebMD's website as "the love of femininity." The difference between gynesexual and gynephilia is that the former has a stronger physical and/or sexual association, whereas the latter refers only to romantic love and attraction.
Gyneromantic is the purely romantic version of gynesexual and is, as such, quite similar to gynephilia. The main difference between these two labels is that the scope of different kinds of love of gynephilia is broader than for gyneromantic.
Womasexual and womansexual describe the sexual attraction to women. As opposed to gynesexual, this does not include attraction to female-presenting individuals who do not identify as a woman. This word is often used by those attracted to women without wanting to connect their sexuality to their own gender by attaching a label like homosexual or bisexual. Womansexual can definitely be used to describe the attraction to trans women.
Androsexuality, androphilia, androromance, and masexuality are the masculine/male counterparts to the four terms described above, respectively gynosexuality, gynophilia, gynoromantic, and womasexual.
The term gynesexual was created with non-binary, genderqueer, agender, transgender, or non-cis individuals in mind, in a search for more inclusive language. The intended underlying logic here is twofold.
Firstly, an individual can use gynesexual - and its masculine or male counterpart - to talk about an attraction to certain types of beauty without having to link that to their own gender. For instance, a non-binary person can express their attraction to women or female-presenting people without having to choose whether to call themselves lesbian, straight, or any other gender-assuming word.
The second reason why the term gynesexual was created is to talk about attraction to certain qualities, behaviour, or appearances that we associate with females, being female, or femininity, without the need for a person to also identify as female. As such, this definition allows for more flexibility in identifying who or what you are generally attracted to. For instance: if you are commonly attracted to - and search for - traditionally female anatomy, such as a person's breasts, which you associate with femininity, but you do not need the person to identify as female, saying that you are gynesexual can be an inclusive and attentive way of describing your attraction while respecting queer spaces. Concrete examples of when using gynesexual makes a clear difference include when you want to express attraction to women and include femboys, or to women but exclude butch lesbians or other women who portray masculinity.
Despite an intensive search, it is unclear who designed the gynesexual flag. We do know, however, that the gynesexual flag consists of three colours that are each intended to symbolise a characteristic of note. The top layer of the gynesexual flag, pink, is taken from the trans flag, and represents attraction to women, and symbolises that trans women are women. The bottom layer, green, is taken from the genderqueer flag and symbolises attraction to femininity. The history of the term gynosexual in the genderqueer community are also referred to here. In between the two stripes is a lane of brown, which stands for stability and support. 
The gynesexual flag Gynesexual flag
Although there is a gynesexual flag, there is currently no universally used symbol for gynesexuality. Maybe you have any ideas?
Being gynosexual says something about your sexuality. As you probably know, gender and sexuality are not necessarily connected, and should not be seen as such. Anyone of any gender can be gynesexual, so there are no particular pronouns, just as there are no particular pronouns for bisexuality. It should, however, be noted that labels such as gynesexual and gyneromantic are often used by people who identify as non-binary or genderqueer, so to promote a healthy environment, always be mindful of which pronouns you use!
WebMD's site has three useful questions you can ask yourself in your search to figure out your sexuality and find out if you are gynesexual. These questions are:
If all your answers refer to femininity without you caring what someone identifies as or was assigned at birth, this may be a strong suggestion you are gynosexual. Seek out help from a certified sexuality educator, or discuss it with trusted friends and/or family members to find out if the definition fits you well!
The most important thing to keep in mind to help your friends or other loved ones who are gynosexual is to accept their orientation without questioning it. Since gynesexuality is not broadly known in society, gynesexual people often end up having to explain themselves. Avoid asking, for instance, to define the term, or how you can be attracted to the female anatomy but not to all women, or why they can be attracted to male, female-presenting individuals. Asking your friend about who they find attractive is, of course, fine if you think they are comfortable with sharing that with you, but don't expect them to educate you on things you do not know anything about, as it can be very damaging to a person's mental health, and significantly worsen someone's life. And remember! You can find the definition and its meaning to a person online! 
Of course, there are a few other ways to support your gynosexual friends: celebrate pride, hang the flag, speak out against homophobia wherever you see it, be an outspoken ally, and support the LGBT wherever you can!
