Unlike someone born with a birth defect, hermaphrodites and "intersex" conditions can be genetically passed. It is an inherited trait, although still rare. I believe some homosexuals and transgenders fall into that same category, that it is genetically linked.
Probably 80% of homo / transgender is just a result of serious mental conditions... or taught by society and conditioning by being exposed to perverted crap like that by our society, media, school systems and politicians. However, I believe that about 20% of the cases are either biologically intersex, or the condition was genetically passed down.
As case in point; My family and all of my extended relatives on both Mom & Dad's side (cousins, aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews) are not gay or trans. Not one in the bunch. There isn't even a question about it. It's partially from upbringing, but also because there was never any indication of anything of the sort from any one of the relatives. It didn't have to be taught, because it's not in our blood.
My wife's family is different. Her uncle was gay. She has two cousins that are gay. She has 3 nieces/nephews that are gay. They weren't raised to be gay, in fact the opposite was true. They grew up in good hard-working Christian families, rural communities which didn't tolerate LGBTQ and they really didn't have much contact with each other either. It wasn't "learned" behavior. I believe it was genetic in her dad's side of her family. Her mother's side were absolutely not gay in any way and none of the relatives on that side were.
I've seen examples time and again where that seems to travel in family lines, so part of it has to be genetic. I even knew a guy who was adopted at less than 1 month old, by a respected surgeon and his family. The entire adoptive family was straight, well educated, etc... but he turned out not only gay, but really gay. His real mom had that multiple people in her family that were... so it's no surprise that he had it too, even though he was adopted and raised by an entirely different family and never had contact with his mom or relatives. There has to be a genetic link to at least 20% of cases.
Never heard before that the weird chromosomal abnormality conditions can be passed on, I guess its so extremely rare and likely to cause sterility, so its not exactly a topic with a wide range of data to look at. Maybe its a guess that similar to other chromosomal damages like down syndrome, it can be passed on as well.
As for the gay thing, in theory a 'gay gene' would be hindering any and all propagation of that gene, so it may exist as an evolutionary quirk for a little while on some time-scale but would always self-eradicate. What instead supposedly has been found to exist is a gene that makes one really love the dick. When a man has this, he is gay(or likely to be), and that genetic condition becomes an evolutionary dead end. However when a woman has the gene, she is super-promiscuous and propagates the gene via her many babies. So there are sufficient conditions evolutionary speaking for this gene to persist somewhat since it makes the positive of the woman balance out the negative from the man.
