Gender-Discordant Relationship

A relationship where the partners are of different sexes and have to work across the gender divide. Gender-discordant relationships rate lower for camaraderie and higher for power disparities than gender-aligned relationships.

“If the state’s going to make me a felon just for terminating a pregnancy then I’m never risking another gender-discordant relationship again. It’s just not worth it,” Jenna said.

“I’m really glad Ken is dating David. The last time I saw him he was stuck in a gender-discordant relationship, and he was miserable. The hoops she made him jump through just to get a little sex were ridiculous.”
