Schrödinger's homosexual. When you're in the closet but out at the same time.

I got news for that tiny minority of "straights"

A tiny minority of the population but not a tiny minority of gays I think.

I've been wondering whether the higher incidence of personality disorders in gay people isn't because being gay is related to being crazy but because a large number of sane gay people have enough self control that they never come out and just get married, have kids and then screw around behind their spouse's back. So they exclude themselves from the numbers of gay people in research leaving more emotionally incontinent types. Certainly a whole lot of people get caught living that lifestyle and troons always have a line of supposedly straight guys wanting to use them for sex.

I think about this too sometimes. I also wonder if the higher incidence of personality disorders is due to a) a higher than average rate of childhood SA (correct me if I'm wrong), and b) peer rejection and abuse during childhood and teen years, particularly among gender non-nonconforming youth.

The sexual abuse comes from having parents who also have personality disorders. That's one way it gets passed down the generations, trauma.

Peer Rejection in childhood and youth definitely cause personality disorders, but it can be remediated and corrected somewhat with councelling during adulthood.
