I've never heard of non-lgbt people having to deal with receiving hate for their sexuality for one.

If everyone is like everyone else and no one has anything specific to them since we're all the same... why have any forums at all?

people who share experiences talking about said experiences is not identity politics.

That just covers the sexuality part.

is there any other parts? does it also come with an economic, political and religious component or something? what am i missing here?

Gender. Straight is usually just to reference sexuality. There is the word "cis" for that but I don't tend to see it used that often outside of specific spaces. Saying non-lgbt was just quicker. Admittedly I was just talking about sexuality there, but you can apply a similar idea to gender.

pretty sure gender is understood to mean sexuality by everyone and their dog?

No? Sexuality is the gender you are attracted to. Gender is more of a sense of self thing.

isn't sexuality a sense of self thing?

Rose wrote

I guess, but gender is a lot more about the self, rather than others.

read that post again please.

i am not asking for something that is exclusive to lgbt people. i asked if people experiencing sexuality differently is exclusive to lgbt.

Rose wrote

Hmm. Misread the view on that then. But you did ask earlier:

shit that's specific to lgbt people.

which is what?
