Do we think that's an effect of a local breeding pop in west virginia? That there was some supercollection of trans carriers fucking about two decades ago blipping the charts today? Seems unlikely. At any rate, little about gender makes any sense at all, under any view - in that sense...but that doesn't mean that gender can't be made sense of outside of those nonsensical gender assertions which color our perception as minds embodied in societies.
By that logic, sexual orientation is also purely a social construct (see below). That's obviously wrong somewhere along the way. Other than that, your entire argument is ipse dixit, which is a polite way of saying that you're talking out of your ass. Do you have any medical or scientific evidence supporting your view. I've already provided evidence that you're wrong, and so far you haven't addressed it.
Quote:The percentage of U.S. adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) ranges from 1.7% in North Dakota to 5.1% in Hawaii and 10% in the District of Columbia, according to Gallup surveys conducted from June-December 2012. Residents in the District of Columbia were most likely to identify as LGBT (10%). Among states, the highest percentage was in Hawaii (5.1%) and the lowest in North Dakota (1.7%), but all states are within two percentage points of the nationwide average of 3.5%.
