Not my forum, but I might suggest the word is more pejorative than accurate.

The derivative word “heteronormative” is a political statement and inaccurate in a medical jargon/scientific language discussion.

The correct word might be heterodefault. Not “normal”, but the default condition of sexuality within that particular species? Many homosexuals are more “normal” than nutjob heterosexuals.
