  • I found this paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1529100616637616 (very low effort first citation on wikipedia) that discusses all the nuances and difficulties of estimating sexual orientation. And they mention some figures of 93% of men and 87% of women stating they are not even a tiny bit gay, so it does seem that the figures in the first comment are extreme.

    Thought you might also want to know about this brilliant line in the paper: If one cannot reliably make a male human become attracted to other males by cutting off his penis in infancy and rearing him as a girl, then what other psychosocial intervention could plausibly have that effect?

    (In response to 6/7 men who lost their penis at birth and were raised as girls ending up identifying as heterosexual men as adults. The last identifying as a bisexual woman.)
