== Controversy ==
The term "straight passing" is viewed as controversial, particularly in the context of "straight passing privilege", as it is most commonly used to undermine multisexual and a-spec people's [[LGBT+]] identities. Bisexual, pansexual, and other multisexual people often have their attraction to the same gender questioned or erased when they date someone of the opposite gender, leaving them feeling isolated from both heterosexual society and the LGBT+ community. The term "straight passing privilege" is commonly used to imply that multisexual people are more privileged, ignoring any struggles that multisexual people specifically face, even when in "straight" relationships.<ref>[https://www.wellandgood.com/queer-invisibility/ Article "Identifying As Queer In a Straight-Passing Relationship Exposed me to the Isolating Reality of Queer Invisibility" by Gabrielle Kassel for ''Well + Good''.]</ref> Similarly some people have tried to argue "straight passing privilege" as a reason why [[A-Spec|a-spec]] people are not members of the LGBT+ community.
The appearance of "straight passing" can also commonly be a direct result of misgendering people. In a "straight passing" couple one of the people may be gender non-conforming, transgender in the early staging of transitioning, or non-binary.
