Gay people don't try to force me to call them something that I don't think they are. Some trans people do. Gay people just want me to not insult them. There is a subset of trans people who think that anyone who deviates even slightly from seeing them as their chosen gender, no matter how politely, is insulting them. They bully people online.

I'm not some sexual bigot. I'm a man and I've experimented with homosexual activity myself. But I don't try to censor or bully people who politely disagree with how I see myself.
