    Hi. I am genderfluid faab. I like girls. I do not like boys. Does that make me a lesbian or straight or something entirely different? I'm not pan or bi because I do not experience any attraction to males at all. So how would I define myself?

    That would really be up to you I suppose...I mean if you're fluid (and I assume when you say fluid you mean 'one day I might feel more female another day I might feel more male) then I guess you could be straight or gay depending on the day?

    Really it doesn't make a huge amount of difference what label you give yourself, but I would have thought it might feel a bit strange on a day you feel more male to call yourself lesbian. But I'm not fluid so I'm not really sure.

    This.

    About me, gynesexual means I like girls and femininity in general. I use this word because I am genderqueer, and I can't define myself as lesbian (I don't feel like a woman) and neither as straight (because I wasn't born as male).

    In fact, this word says only what I like and not who I am :icon_wink

    Gynesexual is the most accurate term for your situation, as I myself have struggled the same.

    You are also a straight man and a lesbian woman. But that's a mouthful, so yes. Gynesexual it is.
