Talk:Gynephilia

Do we need this page? This isn't really about debunking any sort of bullshit about sexuality, it's just a definition of a sexuality related neologism. That's not really on mission. I appreciate your interest in debunking gender and sexuality bullshit, but I don't think there is any related to gynophilia or androphillia or whatever. Ikanreed (talk) 15:41, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I found the terms enlightening, but I feel like they could just as easily fit into non-binary gender rather than having a page of their own. Or even Gender-inclusive language? Trick (talk) 15:55, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
A page on alternative classifications of attraction could be useful. Wikipedia has a page called Androphilia and gynephiliaWikipedia. It's an interesting read. (Also, I think the proper term is gynephilia, not -ophilia.) 141.134.75.236 (talk) 16:02, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Fair points. Ikanreed (talk) 17:08, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Personally, I've always found it remarkable how the usual terms for describing one's attraction conflate attraction to the two sexes together. Heterosexual or homosexual, without knowing the subject's sex/gender, you're still none the wiser what aesthetic they're attracted to. I'm attracted to girls and the attractions experienced by homosexual men and heterosexual women are equally alien to me. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 17:46, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
