Androsexual — A term for people (of any gender) who are attracted to men and/or masculinity, usually primarily or exclusively.

Etymology, flag symbolism, and further info is below the cut. Fair warning: the full description of the flag symbolism is very long, though a TLDR version is also included.

Etymology — From the Greek andro ("man; male; masculine")

Flag Symbolism (TLDR) — The flag symbolism is as follows:

Blue represents "attracted to masculinity" androsexuality. There are two shades of blue, representing a spectrum of masculinity.

Green represents "attracted to men" androsexuality. There are two shades of green, representing a spectrum of manhood.

Cyan represents the overlap of the two versions of androsexuality.

Flag Symbolism (Full Explanation) — I wanted to create an alternative to the most common androsexual flag.

Blue represents people who identify as androsexual because they are attracted to masculinity. Blue was chosen for masculinity because it is often culturally perceived as a masculine color. There are two shades of blue, representing a spectrum of masculinity.

Green represents people who identify as androsexual because they are attracted to men. Green was chosen for manhood because it is a mix of blue and yellow (a color sometimes used to represent gender neutrality or gender diversity). Mixing yellow with blue to make green makes the symbolism of manhood distinct from the symbolism of masculinity. There are two shades of green, representing a spectrum of manhood.

Cyan represents represents people who identify as androsexual for both reasons. Cyan was chosen for the combination of both forms of symbolism because it is between blue and green on the color wheel.

This flag is inclusive of the following:

People who identify as androsexual because they are attracted to masculinity (without this necessarily being tied to gender)

People who identify as androsexual because they are attracted to men (not necessarily just masculine men)

People who identify as androsexual for both reasons

People who identify as androsexual exclusively

People who identify as androsexual non-exclusively

People who identify with a different suffix (e.g. androromantic)

This flag is not inclusive of people who identify as androsexual because they're attracted to "male anatomy" regardless of gender. This definition of androsexuality implicitly misgenders and excludes trans and intersex people.

and androsexual would include masculine men, masculine women, and masculine nb people, but would exclude feminine men, feminine women, and feminine nb people (so you could be androsexual and be attracted to masculine women) (or you could be gynosexual and attracted to feminine men) or is what i'm thinking of something else? (2/2)

They both pretty much have two definitions.

The ones you mentioned (gynesexual=attraction to femininity; androsexual=attraction to masculinity)

They also both have another definition

Gynesexual=attraction to women

Androsexual=attraction to men

These being used mostly by some monosexual* nonbinary people who don't feel gay or straight accurately depicts their sexuality

There are also other terms that share the same meanings

Womasexual=attraction to women

Masexual=attraction to men

Femsexual=attraction to femininity

Mascsexual=attraction to masculinity

Hope you found this informative

*Monosexual=attraction to one gender
