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 fetishization. |

It is enbyphobic to gatekeep the term ceterosexual, the terms gay and queer are "fetishized" to the same degree as any terminology in the gay community and limiting our ability to use these terms only fetishizes our existence more. Ceterosexual is about representation for non-binary people in a binary society and it should be normalized to do so. |

On the contrary, many feel that this term should be available for anyone, because just as you cannot tell who is non-binary by looks alone, you also cannot tell who is a man or a woman by first glance either. |
