How do you feel on that one?
Homosexual is to gay men what transexual is to transmen
Heterosexual is to straight men what cisgendered is to non-trans men


Bent is on par with other homophobic, transphobic, racist slurs, and has nothing to do with standard terminology so youve missed the point by several miles.
