Livre d'Or
Not sheepish, but individ-ewe-al
Soundbite
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.

Date: 2012-11-22 06:09 pm (UTC)I personally just say hetero people, but that's kind of binarist too, isn't it? But yes, I was definitely thinking that saying straight would imply everything else is bent and/or crooked, which is kind of terrible. Of course, in my case, I do not much consider the majority in such things because it leads to bad mental times as I have a lot of "will I have to police everything people say wrong" anxiety.
As to gender itself, I find cisgender to be more accurate, because cissexual reminds me more of "person who prefers people who are cis regardless of gender" and is in that way terribly exclusionary. And ridiculous, because how does that even work? Rhetorical question, of course.
