Don't trust any old social psychology or any old social science (pre 2000s before replication bias) they all have massive flaws in them. All major social psychology experiments you've heard (Milgram, Rosenhan, etc) are all false.

Evelyn Hooker study is treated like Gospel their are so many flaws. She already had an agenda before (the UCLA school of medicine founder preformed sex change operations), n=60 (30 homo 30 hetero) eliminated any subjects who were currently in psychiatric therapy, did three diagnostic tests with no oversight and discarded the results of two of them. I think it intuitively it makes no sense, as LGBT have much higher suicide rate and is contradicted by better data and method

Stereotype threat is fake (see Russel Warne, Emil OWK and sean last) so I doubt acceptance will really help them unfortunately.

Im skeptical of most histroical claims of gayness after I read "Sex Lives of the Great Artists" by Nigel Cawthorne, I assumed those claims were true until I actually read about it, guy has written like 20 books on sexual history. Nearly all of those claims come from gay rights activist, few from neutral sources.

I personally don't trust psychiatry I agree with the writings of Peter C. Gøtzsche and Thomas Szasz overall on the this subject. I don't like the language of "mentall illness" and I don't think its legimate unless brain scans actually diagnose mental illness.

Now that I have read the Transgender Industrial Complex I further understand where this is coming from. However, I was told the “Overt Male Homosexual” study was replicated several times, always to the same results. Whether the manipulation occured or not in those retrials, or what reasoning was there for them, I don't know. How was the exclusion of psychiatric patients even touted as fair?

Meanwhile you mentioned changes to psychological studies, which could have rendered the study worthless despite its legacy. What were they like, even though these people would probably be ahead of the curve and are seemingly still accepting the results of MOH?
