Feminamoric is a diamoric orientation that refers to non-binary people who are attracted exclusively to women. The term is necessary because most other ways to say that one is attracted to woman involve the assumption of one's gender. For example a straight person attracted to woman is a man, or man-aligned. A gay person attracted to woman is a woman or woman-aligned. Some non-binary people are uncomfortable with this, so the term feminamoric was created to state attraction to women unrelated to one's gender.
The masculine counterpart to feminamoric is viramoric.
Another term to refer to this is gynosexual, based on the prefix "gyno", meaning "of or related to women." This term is uncomfortable for some, as it originated in the behavioral science field. Additionally, the prefix "gyno" has a history of use in transphobic circles.
