The term was created because most other ways to say that one is attracted to [[women]] involve the assumption of one's [[gender]]. For example, a [[Straight|straight individual]] attracted to [[women]] is typically a [[man]], while a [[gay]] or [[lesbian]] individual attracted to [[women]] is typically a woman (however this is not always the case.) Although some non-binary individuals have also adopted this framing of their orientation, some non-binary individuals are uncomfortable with this, and found the term feminamoric useful for specifying a non-binary individual attracted to women.
