You see the rise in lgbt, it just might be that the population is more tolerant and they don't have to hide anymore (at least where I live) or there are idd external factors at play.

I don't think there is "rise" in lgbt movement in recent years, more like rise of acceptance as you alluded to. LGBT genders have existed for as long as humans have existed. There are many cultures that recognise and even exalt third genders, like the muxe in Mexico and bakla in Philippines. But what you say may have some merit.
