Since when was "homosexual" a derogatory term? It's the universal word for same sex attraction considering "gay" is for men and "lesbian" is for women.

“Homosexual” became a dirty word at the same time using “woman” to describe an adult human female did

Even if it was ever a derogatory word, we can just as easily reclaim the word.

It's only derogatory to gay and lesbian transpeople, since they will never be same sex attracted (not that they ever were in the first place).
