'''Beta male + omega male''' are heavily pressured against, given the high chance of death in [[pregnancy]].

'''Alpha male + omega male''' also has a higher danger for the omega, but this was not historically recognized, and such relationships are still seen as acceptable, and treated similarly to alpha male + omega female. ~~Pregnancy~~ requires vigilant medical observance. These couples almost never have a female beta third, as there's worry about 'competition'. (Male alpha + omega couples have an 80% chance of having male pups.)

'''Alpha male + omega male''' also has a higher danger for the omega, but this was not historically recognized, and such relationships are still seen as acceptable, and treated similarly to alpha male + omega female. It was, however, believed that male omegas were often 'too delicate' to handle 'true masculine virility'. Female alphas were considered 'gentler'. In the modern day, pregnancy requires vigilant medical observance. These couples almost never have a female beta third, as there's worry about 'competition'. Male alpha + omega couples have an 80% chance of having male pups.

'''Alpha female + beta female''' and '''alpha female + omega female''' are looked down on in conservative society, seen as 'stealing' female dams from men. At the other extreme, during the 70s there was an 'Amazon Movement', where all-female communities were created. Female alpha + beta has a 90% chance to produce female pups, while female alpha + omega has a 80% chance. A lot of people have very strong opinions about all-female romantic relationships, and are very loud about them.

'''Alpha female + beta female''' and '''alpha female + omega female''' are looked down on in conservative society, seen as 'stealing' female dams from men. The decreased birthrate in female/female pairings (due to female alphas not producing singletons) was thought to be a result of female alphas being 'too similar' to a needy female omega or beta to properly care for them. At the other extreme, during the 70s there was an 'Amazon Movement', where all-female communities were created. Female alpha + beta has a 90% chance to produce female pups, while female alpha + omega has a 80% chance. Some of these communities still exist, and there are beliefs that utopian societies can be created through the removal of all other genders. (So far, the evidence suggests otherwise.) A lot of people have very strong opinions about all-female romantic relationships, and are very loud about them.

=== Straight Parallel Relationships ===

Line 34:

=== Gay Parallel and Double Relationships ===

Relationships with someone of the same gender-dynamic are ASSUMED to be platonic. Same with '''female beta + omega''', and '''male alpha + beta'''. Close, committed friendships, perfect for support members of a pack, especially alphas and male betas. Not capable of raising pups, not about to have sex (because that would be WEIRD), but a healthy way to get emotional connection. If the reality is different, there's a lot of pressure to keep quiet about that fact.

=== Epicene Relationships ===

Some adult epicenes seek out other epicenes to avoid fetishization or erasure. [[genetics|'Weak']] epicenes, especially, deal with infantilization and exotification.

=== Trans Relationships ===

Relationships with [[trans|transgender]] individuals are usually judged based on their stated gender. This can lead to occasional problems when people treat the prohibitions on male beta + omega relationships as cultural taboos, rather than medical ones.

Relationships with [[trans|transdynamic]] individuals are complicated by prejudice, especially if the relationship is higher status when recognizing the transdynamic person's dynamic. People are assumed to be faking, seeking status, or seeking attention. If the relationship is lower status when recognizing their dynamic, people may be accused of avoiding responsibilities/being immature. [[Heats]]/[[ruts]] are brought up as 'proof' that no one can avoid their biological realities. The idea of someone being a beta while they can't form [[bonds|pack bonds]] is seen as ridiculous.
