So I found the terms finwomasexual, minwomasexual, finmasexual, minmasexual (combining the attraction toward men/women with attraction towards gender expression) and I made some alt flags as well as two additional terms. I noticed that the Symbol of the finwomansexual was wrong (pointed up tho the fin symbol points down), this and the thought that "lin" was missing gave me the idea for making alt flags plus the lin terms.
Finwomasexual | Linwomasexual | Minwomasexual

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.
Inspired by my mspec vir & mspec femina flags. The colors of the first two flags were based on the more popular ma- and woma- flags, while the last two on alternative flags.
