===Ceterosexuality===
Ceterosexuality, formerly skoliosexuality, means a sexual orientation in which a person feels sexual attraction to nonbinary people, and perhaps other kinds of transgender people as well. <ref>Jack Molay. "Transgender and transsexual glossary." January 25, 2010. [http://www.crossdreamers.com/2010/01/transgender-and-transsexual-glossary.html]</ref> Some believe the term is only to be used by nonbinary people, though it was coined in the context of binary people's attraction to nonbinary people. <ref>http://nelde.deviantart.com/art/Sexual-Attraction-v2-180255547</ref> Non-binary people who are attracted to other non-binary people may also use the term homosexual/homoromantic.

Due to a somewhat problematic etymology (skolio- comes from the Greek for "crooked"), some prefer to use the term ceterosexual, (from Latin "cetera", meaning "other") or allotroposexual (from Greek "allotropo" meaning "different").<ref name="Stieg">{{Cite web |title=What Does It Mean To Be Skoliosexual? |last=Stieg |first=Cory |work=refinery29.com |date=17 November 2017 |access-date=7 September 2020 |url= https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/what-is-skoliosexual-definition}}</ref><ref>https://genderqueerid.com/post/16339992032/skoliosexual-adj</ref>
