Anyone who isn’t heterosexual, queer, and/or female, etc.

A "homosexual" is someone who isn't queer? Who isn't female? Sorry, not trying to be obtuse. I was originally thrown off by your use of a term that hasn't been in common use for decades, and now the definition has me further confused.

I think you misunderstood me or I didn’t make myself clear. Still a term that’s used in many settings, including health care. I wasn’t aware that some consider it offensive now.

Yeah, it's been considered problematic for a while, because it was the label for a DSM mental disorder.
