Girllove

Girllove is a map attraction to girls. A person experiencing such an attraction is called a girllover (commonly abbreviated as GL).



Definition and types of GLs
Girllove is an attraction towards significantly younger children or adolescents who are girls. People who find this attraction personally important to their identity may call themselves girllovers. Girllove does not need to be exclusive or preferential, girllovers may also be attracted to boys and nonbinary children, as well as women, men, and nonbinary adults. Their own gender may also vary. A girllover may have other identities, such as boylover or childlover.

History and community
Historically girllove and boylove communities were often separate, due to common beliefs about inherent differences between boys and girls. The gap was significantly lessened through creation of inclusive initiatives, such as a mental support space Life Line, and later through appearance of less homogenous, more diverse map communities on mainstream social media platforms. Currently the main places for GLs to socialize together are GirlChat and Visions of Alice.
