y. Of course, it’s more nuanced than that, because there are lots of little boys who want to play with dolls and are straight. But statistically speaking, if you’re very gender-nonconforming pre-puberty, you’re something like 20-times more likely to grow up gay.
These boys are now the people who are being told they’re probably girls. I think this is kind of a modern gay conversion therapy. They’re turning proto-gay boys into sterile facsimiles of straight girls.
Which is, interestingly enough, what happens in Iran. The BBC from 2014 (not sure they'd publish this now):
Iran is one of a handful of countries where homosexual acts are punishable by death. Clerics do, however accept the idea that a person may be trapped in a body of the wrong sex. So homosexuals can be pushed into having gender reassignment surgery – and to avoid it many flee the country.
Something of a paradox, then – progressives cheering on the policies of a violently homophobic misogynist theocratic regime. Then again, seeing as many are out marching most weekends in support of the Iran-backed Islamist proxies of Hamas and Hezbollah, maybe it's not so strange after all.
