    I guess it depends how you define it, i feel like most people define hetero as being exclusively attracted to people of the opposite sex than you

      They’re using the (Greek-derived) scientific definition of “hetero” (i.e. different) vs “homo” (i.e. same). By those definitions, any cisgender + non-binary pairing would technically be heterosexual.

        Yeah I define myself as heterosexual cos I’m not attracted to people of the same gender as me. I’m not non-binary so being attracted to/sleeping with an enby person is not gay, at least according to how I define my own sexuality.
