Androsexual refers to the sexual attraction to masculinity. People who identify as androsexual are attracted to individuals who present with masculine characteristics, traits, or gender expressions, regardless of their assigned sex or gender identity.
This means an androsexual person may be attracted to:
- Men: Individuals who identify as male and express masculine traits.
- Transgender men: Individuals assigned female at birth who identify as men and express masculine traits.
- Non-binary individuals: Individuals who do not identify exclusively as male or female but present with masculine characteristics.
- People of any gender: Anyone exhibiting masculine qualities, regardless of their gender identity.
The attraction is specifically directed towards masculinity, rather than gender identity itself. It's important to note that attraction is complex and multifaceted, and individual experiences can vary. Androsexuality, like other sexual orientations, is a valid and recognized identity.
