Ainsexual is a term for someone who is attracted to those who present as androgynous in nature (hence the term AIN). This attraction is restricted strictly to gender expression. Someone who identifies as ainsexual can experience attraction to any gender presenting androgynously. What counts as androgynous in nature is up to the individual.
The term has been deemed very similar to the term ninsexual and is sometimes and in some cases considered synonymous, however, due to ninsexual having multiple definitions, ainsexual is still a unique term. Specifically, ainsexuality is attraction to an individual's gender presentation, and does not include gender.
Ainsexual individuals may also identify with other sexualities such as pansexuality or lesbian. For example, an ainsexual lesbian may only be attracted to androgynous-presenting women.
Ainsexual is not to be confused with linsexual which includes the attraction to androgynous in nature gender identities and alignments.
