Ah, yes, it's the UK TERFs that caused this and not our innate sexual orientation. Always the TERFs.

Apparently 33% of people claiming to be gay/lesbian are lying about being gay/lesbian. Which isn't surprising considering how lesbian is supposed to encompass basically everyone on the planet at this point.

The 1 group that trans people refuse to pursue, bisexuals, is the only group that the majority is open to dating trans people. They're just shooting themselves in the foot by refusing bisexuals. But apparently that sweet, sweet validation is more important to them than having a partner that actually wants to be with them.

I read about this study somewhere else. The 33% of gays and lesbians saying they would date a trans person were saying they would stay with their same sex partner if they transitioned (ie a lesbian would stay with her female partner who becomes a transman or a gay man would stay with his male partner who becomes a transwoman). They were also asked if they would go on a date with a same sex person who is trans, and 33% said yes. This confused the survey people, who called the gays and lesbians "incongruent" because they wouldn't date an opposite sex trans person. Almost zero percent, if I remember correct, would date "transbians" or trans gay men".

This is the problem with these increasingly woke surveys, studies, and the summaries of them like this. It's hard to get accurate information out of them anymore because of how biased by gender ideology the researchers/compilers are. It reminds me of the wikipedia entries on the Equality Act that deceptively show aspects of it having more public support than it really does by how disengeneously it's written about. Not to mention that video with the methodically flawed Tokyo trans athlete survey where the developing results were not even hidden from people actively being surveyed.
