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 that there are only two genders, male and female, and that those genders are opposites. If individuals are referring to [[Antigender|antigenders]] then they may use [[enanteic]], or [[contraic]] if they are [[Non-Binary|non-binary]]. |

A relationship between two individuals of dissimilar gender is often called straight; however, this is not always accurate as one or both individuals might be [[Pluralian|multisexual]]. A relationship between a woman and a man can be called [[duaric]] instead of straight, and [[ultramoric]] if one is [[unstraight]]. A relationship with two individuals of different genders caused by one of the parties being non-binary can be called [[diamoric]]. Non-binary individuals who feel they are straight but in a uniquely non-binary way may identify as [[strayt]]. If someone is attracted to multiple [[Nongender|nongenders]] they could be [[penultisexual]] or [[differosexual]]. |

Someone could also identify as [[Straight Queer|straight while still having queer relationships]]. |
