 '''Shadowstraight''' is an [[orientation]] that has one of two definitions:
-#An orientation affected by the fact that one is [[Transmasculine|transmasculine]], a [[Transgender|trans]] [[man]], [[transneutral]], [[nonbinary]], or just not a [[woman]] (includes [[multigender]] and [[genderfluid]]/[[genderflux]]/[[fluidflux]] folxs), as they either are dysphoric about being called a woman, and/or experience a disconnection from traditional womanhood. They may describe their attraction as any of the following: MLM; MLNB; MLX; NBLM; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but they don’t identify their 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 their attraction as [[bennetian]] ([[straight]]/[[julietian]]) in nature, or as WLM.

They may describe their attraction as any of the following: WLW; WLNB; MLX; NBLW; NBLNB; NBLX, etc – but they don’t identify their 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 [[darcian]] (straight/[[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:
+In simpler terms, shadowstraight may be defined as the following:
-#Being multigender/genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never MLW, yet feeling like their attraction to women is [[Strayt|strayt]]. Likewise, being multigender/genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never WLM, yet feeling like their attraction to men is [[strayt]].
+#Being multigender/genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never MLW, yet feeling like their attraction to women is [[strayt]]. Likewise, being multigender/genderfluid/genderflux/fluidflux but never WLM, yet feeling like their attraction to men is strayt.
 #Being [[Multisexual|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.
-This can also be called shadow[[duaric]].
