Shower thought(?) : some labels are less helpful. - Blåhaj Lemmy

Since starting my questioning journey, I feel like some of sexual orientation labels make less sense. I like girls (a lot apparently). I have always liked girls. Therefore as amab I am straight, I realize one day in the future “fuck it, I’m transitioning” and then I’m not longer straight. It honestly would make a lot more sense to use words like gynophilic or androphilic to describe more of what you’re attracted to instead of how your attraction relates to you Probably too in my head about it or something. I don’t mean any disrespect in anyway. I’m just in a long unexpected journey of self reflection and used to view those a little more concretely. Also, if I ever do get to a point of feeling like I should transition, I’m definitely coming out as a lesbian first and try to let them work backwards. It could be funny. Maybe it could ease the conversation along? I’m rambling now, this started as (I thought) a kind of funny thought, then got too serious and I’ll shut up now.

Got curious, ended up here: www.lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Gynesexual Wondering what current discourse is on whether it’s transphobic? It seems to have gotten more popularity since last i looked. Honestly femmesexual and mascsexual sounds more appealing to us without any real reference to genitals or specific genders?
Gynesexual

Gynesexual, or gynosexual, previously known as femsexual, is a sexual orientation with several possible definitions. Gynesexual may be synonymous with womasexual...

LGBTQIA+ Wiki

I do like femmesexual/mascsexual!

I get the idea, but had never heard the term genitalist before, and it’s kind of funny.
