Office for National Statistics, United Kingdom, report: "Sexual orientation, UK: 2018. Experimental statistics on sexual orientation in the UK in 2018 by region, sex, age, marital status, ethnicity and socio-economic classification."
I am perfectly comfortable with claiming, therefore, in an absolute sense that before the data started to be manipulated & massaged to provide support for warped ideological positions supported by big tech, the social media 'Blob' & the array of activist think tanks & pressure groups, it was in fact well established in the literature that only a tiny minority of the entire population were openly/actively LGBT. We're talking 2-3% openly gay or lesbian, or bisexual, before the age of free & unbridled internet access via smartphones, and the dawn of a massive push at warped propaganda from the various arms of media, social media, pressure groups & the rest. With trans folk being something like 0.5-1% of the general population.
Try to find media articles faithfully discussing the actual official stats nowadays & you'll find that it's much, much harder to locate articles in the media which quote the actual statistics - instead they will refer to their own poorly planned 'surveys' as Stonewall did in this latest piece prepared by the Daily Mail. Stonewall didn't even ask for people to identify as LGBTQ+ in their survey, instead they targeted the percentage of people willing to openly identify as heterosexual. For one thing that's a stupid way to conduct a survey on a particular metric, by seeking confirmation of the opposite trend to that which you are hoping to elucidate. For a second, it's easy to understand that some people just don't respond to unofficial surveys in full for a variety of reasons. Thirdly, the data collected can be manipulated in various ways to support pre-ordained conclusions which the survey authors wanted to convey. And so on, etc, etc, etc.
There is a massive, well-funded & quite tightly coordinated media/social media/big tech/ WEF 'world authority' push for normalisation of what were once considered sexual deviancies & mental illnesses, even straight up sexually-motivated criminal behaviour patterns. I reiterate though, if you truly do your research properly, you will dig down to find those longstanding original statistics, and when you find them, you will realise that they were extremely well researched & adequately representative (perhaps increase the figures by a third to account for those who weren't openly gay or trans at the time due to social pressures) despite changes in social norms since (which, as I have stated, are deliberately inculcated by perverts at the head of pressure groups such as Stonewall).
To claim that the long term prior percentage of the general population which was openly LGBTQ+ can be measured at 10% twenty or thirty years ago - even five years ago - is absolutely ludicrous. To then suggest that today an entire 25% of all young people aged 16-25 are LGBTQ+ is even more absurd. If I have to knuckle down & dig out a stack of links to the studies which prove it I will, but I'd prefer not to dedicate so much time & effort to the matter ideally, it's perfectly possible for anyone to find it if they commit to the search, and as I highlighted above, the Office for National Statistics pops up in black & white with even the most cursory of Google searches in support of what I have claimed, destroying your false claims in a heartbeat.
In terms of the past, where were they then? Why weren't my offices & factories full of one in ten workers who was openly LGBTQ+...? It's not like there were any significant social reasons to be stuck in the closet five years ago, and yet there were only one or two openly LGBTQ+ people working in those offices & factories, which were staffed with hundreds of workers from all backgrounds. There were no more than 2-3% that were openly LGB, with around 0.5-1% that were openly trans (gender dysmorphic). Even today, there is absolutely no way on God's green earth that 25% of young people are LGBTQ+. Yes, due to the disgusting propaganda campaigns of recent years the figure is significantly increased compared to the 2-3% total who were LGBTQ+ even five years ago. But 25%? That's insanity, and it's simply not true. Figures of 10-25% of young people being LGBTQ+ are simply fantasy; delusions of grandeur being spun out as pure propaganda by pressure groups such as Stonewall.
And you know what? Given their history, it is entirely likely that within two years they will be openly campaigning with much fanfare for the open acceptance & 'sexual rights' of paedophiles, whom they will label 'MAPS - Minor Attracted Persons'. Then the floodgates of apocalyptic events will open up, as the accepted standards of decent society are rewritten again & again, following the pattern we've seen over the past sixty years, a race to the bottom, with every loathsome shadow lurker imaginable sharing information freely, demanding their rights be pandered to, demanding that the should be allowed to sleep with children who openly themselves want to 'experiment' with these MAPS. It's a terrifying reality that we presently face, and it's not a ridiculous proposition that the situation I have described will indeed come true in the next five to ten years.

This is why so many autogynephiles -- heterosexual men -- now feel free to play "woman" publicly. They don't have to chop off their junk, they just get to put on their womanface and play dress up and act out their fetish on the world.

Agreed. That should be a given. The fact that they include and embrace the lowest of the low and the scummiest of the scummy -- "acceptance without exception" -- is their biggest problem finding acceptance, and rightfully so.
So why? Money of course, but I feel like there's still more to it...
it should operate more like native american tribe membership. you can't use a DNA test or genealogy process to declare membership to a tribe. (sorry liz) the tribe determines membership.
