I wasn't really sure where to post this, but... yeah. And I'm writing this at four in the morning, so much of it is not going to make sense.
The general 'statistic' quoted is that at least 1/10 people are gay, 1/100000 are FTM and 1/30000 are MTF.
However, these are old numbers, from at least thirty years ago, when better resources and such weren't available, and people feared for their life more if they identified with "those people."
As the human population increases, as will statistic numbers. The school I attend has roughly about 175 students. Of these, there are an estimated of 20-30 students whom identify (somewhat openly) as 'GLB,' and 1 (myself) 'T.' That's close to about 14%, give or take.
In cities everywhere, the number of homosexuals, bisexuals, and transsexuals is much higher than that of thirty years ago. There are also more people in general; but because of this, our natural resources have become limited as well. And as we continue to reproduce, they will become scarcer, until there is nothing left.
So could it be, that it is the GLBT communities (who throughout history, have been persecuted worse than any other group), be our saviors?
The human species is overpopulated. Period. There is no way to get around this. China has tried to solve the problem by only allowing two children born to each household, but there are many who do not obey this law; and because of this, they are punished severely if caught. As cruel as it sounds, abortion has prevented more people from being born and depleting resources, and hell knows this war we're at is chopping our numbers by the thousands. But children are still being born, many unwanted and overrunning foster care or living on the streets.
In many animal species, when the population becomes too great, some internal instinct allows the animal to realize it. Thus resulting in beached whales, lemmings leaping off a cliff, and, in species such as the clownfish, gender change. When food is short, a wolf couple will not produce offspring. This is what prevents unneeded animals from over-populating when food and resources are scarce, and allowing the next generation to live on in the best conditions possible.
Perhaps there is some internal impetus driving more and more people to be born or environmentally influenced as gay, bisexual, or transgender. In an effort to save the species, (because, of course, being gay allows you with the perfect method of birth control if you don't want to keep int in your pants) more and more people are becoming GLBT.
It has already been said that the Y chromosome is fading, meaning there are fewer and fewer male children being born every year (I have another theory regarding how this relates to transgender people, but I may post that later). Cloning/gene-splicing/artificial insemination/other technologies will no doubt be serviced to prevent this from occurring completely, but if they were impossible to access, the males would die out, thus means of reproducing would as well. This may be permanent, it may be temporary. As humans evolve, we are going to evolve until we reach our stopping point... and we will one day die out completely, there is no doubt about that. It happens to every species in order to continue the evolution process. But our main problem now is that we're population so quickly, our resources are going out faster than what can be replenished for the next generation.
So the reason many people are turning out as GLBT is because that happy internal thingy is saying, "Hey, there's too many of you. If you want to screw, you're going to have to do it in a way that isn't going to allow you to spawn."
Forgive me for how much this is jumbled up, unorganized, and in other words... just not clear... Its 4 am. I'll try to clarify what I'm trying to say for anybody who responds with questions and such.
