Agreed, because of social bias and gender stereotypes taught to us as children.
What we perceive ourselves to be and why is directly affected by the roles and stereotypes we were assigned and taught about.
So yes, a girl who has been shown straight women being 'girly' and gay women being 'tomboys' is more likely to choose a tomboy persona when figuring herself out, or, likewise (and controversially) choose to be more openminded about her sexuality after living with a tomboy persona.
But if everyone were raised equally, with no bias, no stereotypical roles portrayed etc, then genetically, naturally, this would no longer be the case. Since there's no real connection between plaid and lesbianism! xD
IIN that I believe Tomboys are more likely to come out lesbians?
