An alternate definition of straight is someone who is attracted to those of a different gender, or someone who is attracted to gender(s) unlike one's own. The usage of the word opposite in the standard definition implies there that are only two genders, men and women, and that those genders are opposites, if people are referring to [[Antigender|antigenders]] then they may use [[enanteic]], or [[contraic]] if they are non-binary. A relationship between two peopleindividuals of dissimilar gender is often called "straight"; however, this is not always accurate as one or both peopleindividuals might be [[Pluralian|multisexual]],. aA relationship between a woman and a man can be called [[duaric]] instead of straight, and [[ultramoric]] if one is [[unstraight]]. A relationship with two peopleindividuals of different genders caused by one of the parties being [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] can be called [[diamoric]]. Non-binary peopleindividuals who feel they are straight but in a uniquely non-binary way may identify as [[strayt]].
