From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andromimetophilia (sometimes misspelled as androminetophilia) is an attraction to women who imitate men[1] or to female-to-male transsexuals, both preoperative ,[1] or postoperative.[2]
The paraphilic counterpart to andromimetophilia is gynemimetophilia[citation needed], the attraction to men who imitate women, or male-to-female transsexuals.
Both paraphilias could be interpreted as an attraction to androgyny. Tranny chasers may be defined as andro- or gynemimetophiliacs.
