Androphilia and Gynephilia

Androphilia is the sole attraction to male anatomy and/or masculinity, and gynephilia is the sole attraction to female anatomy and/or femininity. These two terms are sometimes used in lieu of heterosexual and homosexual so as to recognize and include those who identify outside the gender binary or as a non-Western identity. By using these terms, the subject is not immediately attributed a gender, only a sex. This isn't to say that the terms homo- and heterosexuality are transphobic in any way; they only serve to offer an alternative to these terms.
