Depends on why you’re attracted to them? Obviously it’s a spectrum but if you’re attracted to feminine qualities, that’s pretty straight.

I figured out that I'm attracted to femeninity. What's between the legs doesn't really matter to me. My girlfriend told me that it makes me part of the community and not just an ally like I've always called myself.

Gynesexual/gynosexual people: Individuals who experience sexual attraction toward women, females, and/or femininity, regardless of whether they were assigned female at birth.

What about if you think some trans women are gorgeous and you'd totally kiss them, but you're not into penises? Would that fall into the same sort of category?

Not that it really matters because attraction is a very fluid thing that can be difficult to specify, but I'm curious.

AFAIK, yes it would.
