Seems like you’re presuming that survey results = actual number of lesbians in real life = “natural” biological rate of homosexuality among women, is that correct?

Oh so you think lesbians actually outnumber straight women? Lesbians are the smallest sexual minority according to data, but if it would have to fit the sexual orientation distribution of the woman-identifying males then lesbians would the largest group, outnumbering even straight women.

Last USA survey was interesting, there amount of lesbians decreased drastically (from 1.5% to 0.8%), but amount of transmen and female non-binary increased from 0.1% to something like 3-4% of population. And at the same time amount of gay men not changed.

Hey, sorry to bother you on an old comment Violet but I'm trying to put together a post about LGB prevalence statistics. Do you know what survey this?

It was big twitter thread from a person who was banned.

She was comparing reports of different years. Previously gay and lesbian were around same %, gay men were slightly more than lesbians, and transgender were very few, but today lesbians are half of gay and amount of transgender and bisexual increased by 5 times.

I only found 2020 links, but there were 2014 and other years to compare.

It was smth like lesbians 1.1%, gay men 1.2%, but became lesbians 0.7% and gay men 1.4%, but at the same time female transgender (transmen) increased by almost 30 times or something like that, while male transgenders (transwomen) increased only by 3-4 times.

You can try searching other similar polls. I checked 2017 and 2014 reports on that same site, they have no specification on who is who, just "LGBT raised to 4.5%".

No one can say without good data.
