Ceterosexual

Ceterosexual, also known as skoliosexual, refers to sexual attraction to non-binary and/or transgender people, sometimes exclusively. People who are ceterosexual may or may not be attracted to cisgender individuals, though this definition is disputed.

Etymology
The prefix skolio- means "crooked" or "bent".

The cetero– in ceterosexual is based on the Latin ceterus, meaning "the other, the rest". The sense of "other" in ceterosexual is meant to include people whose gender identity does not fit into the male/female binary.

History
The term "skoliosexual" was coined by DeviantArt user Nelde. Mentions of cetero as an alternative to skolio began to emerge in 2015.

Flag
Several flags have been proposed. The first proposed flag was created by DeviantArt user SavvyRed on October 14, 2013. Yellow represents being non-binary or the attraction to non-binary people, green represents other genders such as bigender and genderqueer, and both white and black represents "neutral genderlessness", such as agender or a questioning gender identity. The lavender heart represents "love outside the gender norms".

However, due to an aversion, the most popular alternative removes the heart.

Bisexuality
Bisexuality, due to the prefix bi-, is the sexual attraction to two or more genders, but it does not necessarily entail attraction to non-binary people. However, a bisexual person can be attracted to both non-binary people and cisgender people. People who primarily identify as ceterosexual can also identify as bisexual, and vice versa.

Pansexuality
Ceterosexuality is distinct from pansexuality in that it is more specific than pansexuality: instead of being attracted to people regardless of gender, ceterosexual people are attracted to others in part because of their gender. While a pansexual person is unlikely to care about a partner's gender, a ceterosexual person is likely to be attracted to a partner because they identify as a gender that they were not assigned at birth.

Controversy
The term "skoliosexual" was derived from a word meaning bent or crooked. People who prefer "ceterosexual" believe the use of the prefix skolio- implies skoliosexuals, non-binary individuals, or both are wrong or "twisted".

Some find the label as a whole to be unnecessary or even discriminatory. This is because the attraction specifically hinges on whether someone is cisgender or not, as opposed to the gender with which they identify, and runs the risk of stereotyping non-binary people. However, other people consider it to be nothing more than another type of sexual orientation, like hetero- or homosexuality.

Some trans people have said the term is or may become a fetishizing term that is interchangeable with "chaser", and that it is only positive when non-binary people use it themselves. A related belief is that only non-binary people should identify themselves with this term. Others dispute this and say that the term involves both sexual and romantic attraction, while a fetish is less likely to involve wholistic attraction to the person rather than only sexual.

Perceptions and discrimination
Because of the concern that cisgender people may identify with this label to fetishize trans individuals, the term is often considered restricted to non-binary people.
