Hi guys I am looking for some information for me and a friend who both believe there is a correlation between being autistic and not being heterosexual and I wanted to try and show this. I wanted to say I am not denying that there are many non-het sexualities just that for the purpose of this it is not necessary to know the type of sexuality. If you want to be more specific please say so in the comments, thanks

I identify as bisexual leaning more towards women. (Eventually, they will make a term for that).

The term for that would be: "Ambitropic, with gynotropic leanings".

I'm a gynotropic male.

It just feels wrong saying bisexual, knowing the "third gender" is included. Men, women, transgender. It doesn't bear a lot of explanation, but let's just say I am probably only really into feminine men, if I am at all. Otherwise, women and transwomen are a go for me.

This method lays out attraction, gender identity, and sex of an individual.

There are four "attractions".

Androtropic - Attracted to males.
Ambitropic - Attracted to males and females (formerly "Bixexual")
Atropic - Not attracted to either sex (formerly "Asexual")
Gynotropic - Attracted to females.

"Cis-" and "Trans-" are modifiers for gender identity.

"Female" and "Male" are the two sexes.

A "Gynotropic Cis-Male" is a person who was born male, identifies as a man, and is attracted to women.

A "Gynotropic Trans-Male" is a person was born female, identifies as male, and is attracted to women.

I'm trying to get this terminology widely accepted to avoid confusion between all of the different gender definitions people label themselves with.

Three terms should be enough.

I'm hetero but sort of on the asexuality spectrum.

I am pansexual, so non-heterosexual. Also aromantic, though that's something different

My issues with this way of labeling include:

1) There are more than two sexes. There are many forms of intersex.
2) There is nothing for nonbinary people in either the gender or attraction categories.
3) The attractions seem to be based on sex, not gendersexual, even though you cannot usually tell sex when you're first attracted to someone sexually. Sexual attraction is usually based off on gender expression.

I'm genderqueer and transgender, would potentially be interested in relationships with all genders, but as far as I know (as in based on experience, but not ruling anything out) can only respond sexually to women, and even then, have no particular interest in or need for coupled sex. I think there may be more potential in autistic peoples for sexuality and gender variance.

I don't find these categories useful. I have a hard time understanding the concept of attraction. To keep it simple I'm interested in dating women, but no men. It's just what I want at the moment. I'm not going to bother categorizing who I'm attracted to and I don't want other people to categorize me.

Transgender is not a gender.
