  • One has an attraction to those have a feminine presentation, regardless of the individual in question’s gender identity. (Synonymous with Femsexual)

History

Controversy

As mentioned in the description of the term, the term has been called transphobic and genitalist due to potentially having a preference to one's genitals, rather than the actual gender identity of the individual. Or that it could be mean that you are excluding trans individuals because you are reducing them down to genitalia.
