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.

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

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