How about this then, so long as the concept is known in the universe, they'd have a word for it, and so long as they a word for it, then it's completely fine for them to use the same word as we use in the real world, otherwise you are either asking for queerness to be exclusively a rare and unknown thing in fiction, or for fiction to exclusively use different words for various things, if it is the former, get over it, if it is the latter, then you should also be calling FFXIV's worldbuilding poor for using words like "bear" and "horse", and god forbid, "dog".
