I’m not even convinced we really managed to universally agree to uniform definition of what straight actually is. As long as that’s the case people, who want to be "normal“, will just stretch and twist the definitions to fit in, if they can fit in that way.
That’s a problem with everything though. No matter what definition for something you come up with, even if most of population agrees with it, you’d have aggresively vocal minority that will try and push it other way to conform it to their perception/goals etc.
Straight means that, for example, as a man you are sexually attracted only to women. Already met people who dragged it into the “feminine people” camp instead and people who dragged it into “feminine women” camp. I tend on the other hand to stick into the tried and tested too much so I find both irritating xD
I more had “only/exclusively” vs “mostly/usually” in mind. But yes. There is also the question of whether its about gender or sex; homo-hetero being viewed as “same-opposite” vs “same-different”; what you wanna do with them … sex, relationship or both. Some think samesex intercourse is fine as long as you don’t want a relationship . And what even does attraction mean.
