'''Shadowstraight''' is an [[orientation]] that has one of two definitions:
#
#
▲# An orientation affected by the fact you’re [[Transmasculine|transmasculine]], a [[Transgender|trans]] man, [[Transneutral|transneutral]], [[Non-Binary|nonbinary]], or just not a woman (includes [[Multigender|multigender]] and [[Genderfluid|genderfluid]]/[[Genderflux|genderflux]]/[[Fluidflux|fluidflux]] folxs), as you either are dysphoric about being called a woman, and/or experience a disconnection from traditional womanhood. You may describe your attraction as any of the following: MLM; MLNB; MLX; NBLM; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but you don’t identify your labels as WLM due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels straight when with a woman and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria where they may sometimes view your attraction as [[Straight|straight]]/[[Julietian|julietian]] in nature, or as WLM.
▲# An orientation affected by the fact you’re [[Transfeminine|transfeminine]], a trans woman, transneutral, nonbinary, or just not a man (includes multigender and genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux folxs), as you either are dysphoric about being called a man, and/or experience a disconnection from traditional manhood. You may describe your attraction as any of the following: WLW; WLNB; MLX; NBLW; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but you don’t identify your labels as MLW due to reasons listed above. With a multigender and/or genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux identity, one feels straight when with a man and/or has a fluctuating level of dysphoria where they may sometimes view your attraction as straight/[[Romeric|romeric]] in nature, or as MLW.
In either case, to express the disconnection, the prefix shadow- is used.
This term also includes those whose orientation is fluid and/or flux. They may not 100% identify with the label straight due to barely experiencing attraction to men/women (or in general), having an attraction to men/women that feels straight but also not, having an attraction to men/women that is fluid between [[queer]] and [[queern't]], and/or experiencing attraction through a straight or bennetian/darcian lens.
In simpler terms, a shadowstraight may be defined as the following:▼
# Being multigender/genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never MLW, yet feeling like your attraction to women is [[Strayt|strayt]]. Likewise, being multigender/genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never WLM, yet feeling like your attraction to men is strayt.▼
# Being m-spec and not WLM or MLW, yet feeling a connection to the label depending on your gender identity.▼
▲#
# Being too dysphoric about being called a woman/girl/being thought of as one, yet being either NBLM, MLM or XLM with a connection to the straight label. Likewise, being too dysphoric about being called a man/boy/being thought of as one, yet being either NBLW, WLW or XLW with a connection to the straight label.<ref>[https://ashix0trender0juice.tumblr.com/post/627552532701560832/shadowstraight Shadowstraight coining post]</ref>▼

# Having a fluid/flux orientation where one is not 100% straight for whatever reason that may be, but one retains a connection to the straight label.
# Feeling as though one is straight, but also not.<ref name=":0">{{Archive|URL=2022.09.07-230212/https://sir-eldritch.tumblr.com/post/688243536552919040/shadowstraight/}}</ref>
This can also be called shadow[[duaric]], shadowbennetian, or shadowdarcian.
