As we now have trans as a protected class it has shown the slippery slope in full free fall from the “gay rights” debate a decade ago. The problem is that laws based on fallacies will always be abused because their is no need to prove that any additions are legitimate. We have known for centuries men and women are not equal, we have known for centuries that racial aggregates depended on the culture dictating genetics. When we pretended that this didn’t matter we opened the door for non-biological protected classes. There has never been any evidence that being gay or trans is genetic, and there has been inconclusive evidence that gay and trans is biological at all aside from the biological impact occurring from grooming. In fact the best biological evidence we have is that external stimuli (aka other people) is what causes biological changes in the individual. Yet now we have more protected classes that are inherently non-biological than provably biological. These abuses are meant to subjugate not protect, they are meant to deny reality in place of accepting it.

I think you're wrong about there not being a biological link. I have a more longwinded hypothesis that it's actually a genetic trigger in some individuals based on the sex distribution of the general population in their environment.
The aspect of grooming simply doesn't account for all, let alone the majority, of homosexuality. It wouldn't even make sense for gender dysphoria ... because it's a dysphoria. That's a mental illness. Depression and negative self-image are going to be a better driver. And if you're interesex, well, that's not from grooming.
Even when it comes to instances of sexual abuse among children. We know that only 30% of those children who are sexually abused become abusers themselves, regardless of sexual preference as adults. The remaining 60% do not, and their sexual preference does not necessarily match that of their attacker or abuse. In the most severe cases it may, but you absolutely can't claim that it's 1:1. There's no evidence for that.
We can also use historical examples like Athens, Thebes, and Sparta where Pederasty was fully institutionalized. Particularly in Sparta, which was so gay it genuinely had population problems, and Spartan wives had to be shaved, dressed as younger men, and placed in darkened rooms to consummate their marriage. Even with open, institutionalized, pederasty; heterosexuality among all 3 city-states was still the norm. Obviously heterosexuality is a biological imperative that exists regardless of 100% institutionalization and normalization of pederasty. Wherefore, if homosexuality were a pure social construct that had no biological roots, you would also have to consider that heterosexuality were just as socially constructed, and that it a purely homosexual environment, you could basically eliminate heterosexuality altogether through grooming. But we know that didn't happen, and can't. Instead, we find homosexuality to exist, but to generally rare, only becoming more common when the imbalance of sexes is high. One of the more interesting studies I've seen is that the likelihood of a male child growing up to be homosexual is very low until that child is the 3rd brother. I think there's a biological mechanism at play.
Anecdotally, the stories of many gay / straight-who-experimented seem to have a very common story: what I like to call "The Dick In Mouth Test". Basically, they all have the same story: the dude in question was good friends with another dude. For some reason the friend's dick comes out. Then, one of two things will happen:
The dude in question will have an urge to put his friend's dick in his mouth. He will then enjoy it: this dude is gay.
The dude in question will have no urge to put his friend's dick in his mouth. If, for some reason the friend's dick somehow gets into the dude's mouth, he will be very uncomfortable: this dude is straight.
Seriously, this story is bizarrely common.
I believe that "sudden urge to put a dick in your mouth" is clearly not a socially conditioned. It appears to be as much of a biological driver as a guy looking at tits. It simply can't be helped because it's not a conscious choice. On the flip side, being highly uncomfortable with a dick in your mouth seems completely reasonable for a heterosexual, in the same way why a lot of gay men are disgusted by vaginas, and have no interest in breasts.
Every time this comes up there is a simple question that disrupts this line of thinking and you -- like all others who I've asked previously -- will either have to ignore the question or deflect, because it's not rooted in the basic fundamentals of biogenetics nor neurology, and that question is: where is the neonatal allele strand that determines homosexuality?
You'll point to the studies that have examined the epigenetic effects of homosexuality that claim, post-observation, that they have found genetic markers in homosexual behaviour. As I pointed out in previous comments, all of those links are attached to behavioural traits that were expressed as a phenotype AFTER the subjects became engaged in homosexuality; namely markers associated with depression, emotional imbalances, and heavy substance abuse.
Unfortunately people have been far too brainwashed by all of the misinformation floating around out there by pseudo-scientists and propagandists to understand the differences between social conditioning and genetic influences.
EDIT:
As an addendum.... your deferring to homosexuality having a basis in genetics is begging the question.
This here is the perfect example of, as you mentioned, sociological institutionalization of homosexuality, having zero basis in genetics. Especially considering that if it were gene-based they wouldn't be able to dress the women like little boys to get the men to have sex with them. So they used behavioural conditioning for the men to engage in pederasty and then that same behavioural conditioning to get the men to have sex with the women. That's a mutable trait -- if there was a genetic component there then they wouldn't have been able to be groomed one way and then the other through sociological conditioning.
You're begging the question again while ignoring basic biological science.
Human males and females are sexually dimorphic, meaning only males can inseminate females for impregnation and only females can become impregnated by insemination. That in itself is biological essentialism.
When puberty comes into play the average man will want to inseminate a woman. When a woman is ovulating, the average woman will want to be inseminated by a man as a biological necessity of procreation.
There is no biological necessity inherent in homosexual behaviour since neither two men nor two women can procreate. So the act is purely out of an expression of lust, and/or a need/desire to engage in sexual release, as evident with homosexual behaviour observed in animals typically when there aren't enough males/females for mating pairs. They (re)act out of primal urges. That's not genetic, it's instinctual; part of a base set of primal hormonal responses, sort of like how perfectly straight men will sometimes engage in homosexual acts in prison due to a lack of female companionship.
And before the instincts tangent is brought into the equation, the arguments surrounding the normalization of various instinctual acts is also moot, because people have all sorts of urges, thoughts, or desires. But the thoughts based on said urges are formulated through environmental stimuli, and without that stimuli the urges have no way to materialize as thought patterns.
People keep pushing forward without looking at the damage being caused. We currently are egregiously shortsighted on the biological damage being caused by social media, plastics, hormones, antibiotics, birth control, etc. it’s terrifying how much information we have available that no one talks about and the government enables.
Exactly this!
There are a myriad of factors that do negatively impact biological growth, and everything from disruptive propaganda, to GMOs, to whatever they're putting in the water, to everything else in between.
One big factor in all of that, though, is the largest search engines and media (and even the education system) hiding a lot of information that would otherwise help people become more informed.
But an informed populace is a dangerous populace, and so that's why there is such effort from the Powers That Be to keep the populace disinformed at every turn.
