Reply to comment by boobs in if lgbt people's existence offends you, then fuck off. by gamergirl

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.
