So I stumbled upon this page and I have to say that I am quite confused by it. The page does not seem to explain how gay closeted people, bisexuals in straight-passing relationships, and straight transgender people are connected in terms of experience or oppression. None of the sources seem to talk about how these are connected and a lot of stuff in this article is not sourced at all (or is sourced with very old information - see the statistics on bisexuality from 2013, the study on men interested in trans women from 2010 which seems super outdated, etc.) Additionally, some of the sources seem to be cited in a way that obfuscates that they are actually citing another source - see source 1 which is just paraphrasing source 5.

Given that there are already articles on beards, transgender sexuality, attraction to transgender people, transmisogyny, and biphobia, it seems like there is little reason for this page to exist other than to conflate them, which seems to have little basis in academic conversation. More and better sources are needed for this page, as was stated back in October 2022. Computer-ergonomics (he/him; talk; please ping me in replies ) 19:01, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heterosexual relationships among LGBTQ people → Cross-sex relationships among LGBTQ people – The main article for the corresponding Heterosexual relationship/Cross-sex relationship we have is Same-sex relationship, as Homosexual relationship redirects there. There is Cross-sex friendship. I also would be in favour of Cross-gender relationships among LGBTQ people if possible. If duaric had an article and was popular enough, mayhaps it would be worthy to use Duaric relationships among LGBTQ people, as that would be the most politically correct.

Oppose – the key comparison article not mentioned is Heterosexuality. There's no reason to change the term here—we do for Same-sex relationship because that's much more widely used than Homosexual relationship. Remsense ‥ 论 06:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support Cross-sex relationships among LGBTQ people. While some hetero people are also LGBTQ (e.g., hetero trans people), most aren't (e.g., bi and pan people, and non-hetero trans people). This remains concise and precise without being inaccurate. It's a bit unnatural sounding at first, but I'm not sure there's a better way to phrase this.

Leaning support: To me, referring to a relationship as heterosexual seems confusing in this context. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support The article could in general benefit from cleanup to remove confusion between the sex of the parties to a relationship and their sexual orientation.--Trystan (talk) 18:56, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
You mean that there needs a better name than the proposed one? I was thinking in "Mixed-sex relationships" which would be more inclusive. Web-julio (talk) 23:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support a relationship may be cross-sex, but the people in the relationship themself might be bi,pan,.., which doesn't make themself heterosexual, so cross-sex is more accurate and also in line with Same-sex relationship. Raladic (talk) 19:13, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support mostly per precise—blindlynx 22:05, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support per Raladic. Queer people don't stop being queer just because the sex they are having any particular moment might appear to be cis-het. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 11:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
