No, it's not a "Lifestyle Choice" Sexual Orientation and Gender-Identity are not a "Lifestyle"
So because you say it isn't a lifestyle it isn't a lifestyle? Great argument.

How about the sources already presented to you showing that the American Psychological Association, which obviously employs professional psychologists, and other pertinent fields, say it isn't a choice? I'd say that's a pretty good argument.
What about the colossal amount of personal testimonies from LGBT+ and heterosexuals stating they never chose their orientation? Seems like a good argument to me.
Now what was your argument again?
Anecdotal evidence and personal testimony are not proof.
Being gay is a lifestyle choice and shouldn't be a protected class.

Nature has already decided your gender via DNA. You can pretend you are the opposite sex, but it will never be true.
