How are LGBT behaviors any different from fetishes that are enforced via operant/classical conditioning? I am not just talking about the sexual attraction aspects of these disorders either, but everything else including the way they form largely uniform social personalities and behavioral traits.

I am not an expert in psychology but I see real problems in the way our understanding of LGBT behaviour has changed in recent decades almost solely based on ideology as opposed to objectivity and reason. Isn't it possible that our emotional approach to such things could actually be hurting these people, especially in the case of transsexuals who by any sensible definition are suffering from extreme delusions?
