=== 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.
