    This is why I’m a firm believer that “homo/heterosexual” is an outdated term. We need words to denote being attracted to masc/feminine people that don’t also unnecessarily make implications about your own gender.

      The most commonly accepted words for those concepts are gynesexual (attraction to women) and androsexual (attraction to men), though they’re used rarely

      Exactly. I just recently realized I’m NB and the terminology for orientation is so confusing… Hetero? Oh so you still identify as male. Homo? Oh, you’re trans. It’s so complicated lol, shouldn’t be that hard to say I’m nonbinary and like girls.
