History/Controversy

Skolioromantic

Skolioromantic is the previously used term for ceteroromantic. This term became quite controversial, due to the first definitions of it meaning being attracted to "non-binary and transgender people", or, in general, "non-cisgender people". This caused people who identified as transgender to be, in a way, separated from the binary gender they identified with, and fetishized them.

Alternatives/Usage

Another alternate ceteroromantic flag

Ceteroromantic is the replacement term for skolioromantic. Ceteroromantic is a new term, as it only refers to attraction to non-binary/genderqueer people. It uses the same flags used by skolioromantic, however.

It is not known who created the term ceteroromantic as a replacement for skolioromantic. Although the changing of the name changed the meaning to exclude binary trans people from the attraction of this orientation, some still believe that ceteroromantic is transphobic and fetishizes trans people.

Flag

The yellow stripe represents being non-binary or being attracted to non-binary people. Green represents bigender, third gender, genderqueer, and other genders. Magenta represents love outside the gender norms. White and black represent neutral genders, such as agender, genderless, questioning, or neutrois. The hearts on the alternate flags also represent love outside the gender norms.

Etymology

The prefix cetero- means other.

The sexual counterpart to ceteroromantic is ceterosexual.
