Not a good term to use, roots from meanings such as "
bent", often associated with fetishizing and is problematic. Other definitions include attractions to non binary
people and binary trans persons, coming off as fetishizing and transphobic (separating binary trans
people from their genders that they are and treating them like a 3rd
gender). This term also comes off as fetishizing to non binary persons and can often lead to objectification of non binary, and binary trans persons and bodies.
Better terms to use include the following :
Ceterosexual sounding similar to heterosexual however, is only for non binary
people attracted to other non binary
people. Its inclusive and an umbrella term that is without the negative connotations of skoliosexual.
Another one is allotroposexual. Whilst ceterosexual is a specific identity for non binary persons, allotroposexual is an option open for cisgendered
people to use. Though the argument of fetishizing
may also be used against this, it is better than skoliosexual as it does not have the negative connotations of skoliosexual, does not objectify the trans community, does not separate binary trans persons from their genders, and does not come of as fetishizing as the other does.

Kathy: actually that's a negative and bad term and shouldn't be used
Tyler: hey guys!
Kathy: hey Tyler, just wanted to say that skoliosexual is a problematic term, how about Ceterosexual ig you're non binary or allotroposexual if you're cisgendered, don't want to assume!
Tyler: oh I'
m sorry Kathy, I didn't realise, I'll look up those terms right now, thank you for telling me.
