'''Gyneromantic''', or '''gynoromantic''', is a term with several possible definitions. First, is the [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]] attraction to women. This means that heteroromantic men, lesbian women, and non-binary people attracted to women can be considered gyneromantics. The second possible definition is the attraction to people who present femininely, regardless of their actual gender. Thirdly, is the attraction only to people with "female anatomy" regardless of whether that person identifies as female, however this definition is transphobic as it reduces people to their genitals.

The term was possibly made with non-binary or [[genderqueer]] people in mind. However, many non-binary people prefer other terms like [[Finsexual|finromantic]], [[venusic]], or [[Womasexual|womaromantic]] to describe this attraction, because gynesexual has no consistant definition and can have unfavorable connotations. The term is based on gynesexual, which is commonly used by transphobes as a reason to exclude [[Transgender|trans]] women because they are only attracted to "female anatomy" or "real women".
