'Skoliosexual emerged as a way for people to describe a new sexual orientation.' Skoliosexual can mean different things to different people. 'It’s accompanying this huge rise in the number of young people who identify as gender nonbinary or genderqueer,' explains Hammack, who points out that there’s not much data on how many people identify as skoliosexual. It makes sense that the term didn’t exist, say, 10 years ago, because we weren't talking about nonbinary genders then, either. Skoliosexual has barely entered the Twittersphere, though academics have heard whispers of it for a few years thanks to their college students. But unlike pansexuality, if you're skoliosexual, you aren’t into people who identify as a specific gender. Being skoliosexual is similar to being pansexual-an attraction to all genders-in that you aren’t necessarily turned on by penises or vaginas (it’s all fair game).
Instead, you're attracted to how other people view their place (or lack of place) on the gender spectrum. 'It’s very fluid in the sense that there’s not an attraction to specific genitalia,' Laino adds. 9 Things You Need To Know About Pansexuality
