I don't know the extent to which I believe upbringing and political ideology can turn someone LGBT.
You can find LGBT people in families across the political spectrum, and born into all kinds of backgrounds. I was born into a stable middle class Catholic home, with both a mother and a father who had moderate-conservative views, and I turned out gay. I've seen it all in other LGBT people I've met over the years, everything from the "stereotypical" gay raised by a single mom, to closeted LGBT people scared shitless because their families were conservative orthodox Muslims. Part of the high suicide rate with transgender people is because they're often not accepted by their families.
The only time I think it's politics is when you're talking about the stupid unicorn plum faerie Tumblrinas claiming stupidly nuanced genders. Those kind of people are always pretty far-Leftists, and them jumping on the bandwagon typically does say more about their politics than their actual life situation. They're all fourth-wave feminists.
Definetly. I'm not saying that someone can only be LGBT through influence, just saying that I do believe that there are people influenced into it aswell. Like, certain parents raising their child as the opposite sex rather than letting them grow up and decide for themselves, and certain aspects of SJW communities influencing, like the fourth wave-feminists you mentioned. :)
IIN I'm weirded out by transgenderism?
