This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Androphilia-gynephilia.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: Diagram comparing sex and sexual orientation conceptualizations:
  1. male/female matrix
  2. androphilic/gynephilic matrix
  3. homosexual/heterosexual matrix (first two combined)
  • The terms male and female describe a person on one axis: the person's sex.
  • The terms androphilic and gynephilic describe a person on one axis: the person's object of attraction.
  • The terms homosexual and heterosexual describe a person on two axes: the person's sex and their object of attraction.

The terms Androphilia and gynephilia are used for identifying a person's object of attraction without attributing a sex assignment or gender identity to the person. This can avoid confusion and offense when describing people in non-western cultures, as well as when describing intersex and transgender people.

(Not to scale. Chart depicts a conceptual matrix, not proportions or prevalence.)
