(Also gynephilia, or gyne) In behavioral
science it'
s the attraction to the woman
gender, rather than the female sex. This means they are capable of being attracted to someone if their gender identity is a woman. This includes both trans women, and cis women. People of any
gender, or sex can be gynesexual. Which means straight men can be gynesexual, as well as lesbians, and non-binary people.
Along with gynesexual, androsexual is the attraction to the man
gender. Ambisexual includes both gynesexuality, and androsexuality.
This shouldn't be confused with femmesexual / femsexual, which is the attraction to the feminine gender expression, rather than the woman gender identity. However someone can be both gynesexual, and femmesexual.
