I spend a lot of time looking at guys and don't see any of these effects. I do know what they look like because I know a few men who are
transgendering (I also know some women who transgendered -- encounter them at science fiction conventions.) They don't look like the rest of the
population.

Is this also the culprit behind the growing numbers of gay people?

No... and the numbers aren't really growing. It's just that they're no longer killed when they come out of the closet.
Homosexuality is present in all the vertebrates that we've studied. In a number of civilizations (Sparta, for instance, and Athens and Japan and
Egypt (where homosexual relations between some of the gods are mentioned)) it was encouraged -- or mandated by religion and custom as in the case of
Sparta. It was present in some early Christian communities and there are ceremonies (written documents) about two men marrying.
