'''Ceterosexual''', also known as '''Allotroposexual''', '''Enbysexual''', or '''Idemosexual'''- previously known as '''Skoliosexual'''- is an orientation referring to someone who is exclusively attracted to [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] and [[genderqueer]] people. Previous definitions also included [[transgender]] people. |

Skoliosexual is alternate/outdated term coined in 2010 by a DeviantArt user, Nelde, who attempted to make a comprehensive diagram of sexual attraction.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/nelde/art/Sexual-Attraction-v2-180255547</ref> Nelde claims to use "skolio" as it is the Greek word for [[queer]]. However, the name was highly controversial due to "skolio-" translating to "crooked" or "bent". Additionally, in many of the first definitions of skoliosexual it was defined either as the attraction to "non-binary and transgender people" or the attraction to "non-[[cisgender]] people", which othered and fetishized transgender people, treating trans men and trans women as if they were not actually men/women. |

An alternate/outdated term for ceterosexual is skoliosexual, but the label was highly controversial due to "skolio-" translating to "crooked" or "bent", and thus ceterosexual was made as a replacement term. While ceterosexual is a new term, it uses the same flags that skoliosexual used. |

=== Usage === |
=== Alternatives and Usage === |
||
Ceterosexual was made as a replacement term, due to the name. Additionally, ceterosexual and other alternate term only included non-binary people, not including [[Binary Genders|binary]] trans people. While ceterosexual is a new term, it uses the same flags that skoliosexual used. |
|||
Ever since its creation, ceterosexual has remained a controversial identity within the LGBTA+ community. Some claim that ''only'' non-binary/genderqueer people may call themselves ceterosexual, while others believe the term should not be used at all due to accusations of nonbinary fetishization. |
|||
On the contrary, |
The creator of the term ceterosexual is unknown. Unlike skoilosexual, ceterosexual seems to have been created with the intent that ''only'' non-binary and genderqueer should call themselves ceterosexual, and many non-binary people who use the term agree with this. Additionally, others believe the term should not be used at all due it encouraging the fetishization of transgender and non-binary people. On the contrary, others feel that the term should be available for anyone, because just as one cannot tell who is non-binary by looks alone, one also cannot tell who is a man or a woman by first glance either. |
||
There as also been a small group of people who use other alternatives to skoliosexual. Some such alternatives are enbysexual<ref>https://nonbinaryresource.tumblr.com/post/132552134476/is-there-a-word-for-only-being-attracted-to</ref>, idemosexual<ref>https://variant-archive.tumblr.com/post/185736763882/a-quick-suggestion-for-my-fellow-enbys-who-love</ref>, and allotroposexual<ref>https://genderqueerid.com/post/16339992032/skoliosexual-adj</ref>. Like with ceterosexual, enbysexual and idemosexual were created with the intent that only non-binary people use them. However, allotroposexual was created with the intent to be used by anyone. |

The first skoliosexual/ceterosexual flag was created on October 14, 2013 by DeviantArt user SavvyRed<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/savvyred/art/Proposed-Skoliosexual-Flag-407351410</ref>. Yellow represents being non-binary or being attracted to non-binary people. Green represents [[bigender]], [[Third Gender|third gender]], genderqueer, or [[other]] genders. White and black represents [[neutral]] genders, [[Genderless|genderlessness]], [[agender]], and people [[questioning]] their gender identity. The lavender heart represents love outside the gender norms. Most alternate flags are based on this flag. |
