 ===Gynephilia===
 Gynephilia, also referred to as gynesexual, is a romantic or sexual orientation in which a person feels attraction to women or femininity.<ref name="NeutroisTerms">"LGBTQ Terms." ''Neutrois.com.'' [http://neutrois.com/definitions/terms]</ref> This term has gained criticism, arguing that the prefix "gyne-" is focused on genitals, not gender. Proponents of the term "gynephilia/gynesexual" argue that the term refers to women, not genitals.
-===Lesbian===
-People who identify as [[Lesbian|lesbians]] have a feminine gender identity, and are attracted only to women. This word is applicable regardless of whether one or both people involved are cisgender women or transgender women. Some nonbinary people also identify as women to some degree (nonbinary women), and also usually experience attraction to women, and so they consider themselves lesbians. Some people see "lesbian" as a gender identity as well as a sexuality.
