"First things first: What’s the exact definition?

Someone who’s androsexual is attracted to men and masculine people.

Although the “-sexual” suffix suggests that it refers exclusively to sexual attraction, the term can include people who are romantically or physically attracted to men and masculine people.

Some androsexual people are exclusively attracted to men, while other androsexual people might be attracted to anybody who’s masculine in their identity, gender expression, or appearance.

It’s possible to be androsexual while also identifying with another term, like heterosexual, bisexual, or pansexual.

The key difference between terms like “androsexual” and terms like “heterosexual” is that androsexual focuses on the gender of the person you’re attracted to as opposed to your own gender.

While “homosexual,” for example, means that you’re attracted to people of the same or a similar gender as you, “androsexual” can apply to anyone who’s attracted to men, no matter their gender.

What does this term mean?

Skoliosexual is a relatively new term that refers to people who are attracted to people who are transgender or nonbinary.

According to one source, the term dates back to 2010 and has mostly been used in LGBTQIA communities and on websites like Tumblr and Reddit.

Somebody who is transgender has a different gender identity than the one assigned to them at birth.

Nonbinary refers to someone who doesn’t identify solely as a man or a woman. They might identify as multiple genders, no gender, or another gender entirely.

It ultimately means different things to different people

Words change over the years, and even relatively unknown words like skoliosexual mean different things to different people.

Some define it as only being attracted to nonbinary people.

Others feel that it means attraction to anyone who isn’t cisgender. People who are cisgender identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.

Still, others feel that this sexual identity can include cisgender people that are genderqueer in their expressions.

In other words, this interpretation includes people who don’t conform to gender expectations. For example, cisgender men who wear makeup and nail polish or cisgender women who wear so-called men’s clothes.

Skoliosexual people might find themselves attracted to people who play with gender norms regardless of whether that person is cisgender."
