Here's the thing for all lit/troons and homos.
Greek homosexuality was situational and the result of heavy segregation of sex and heavy regulation of heterosexual relationships. In an all male society where women were kept hidden and private, it's not surprising that sexual desire moved to the next thing most resembling a woman: male teens. The same pattern in seen in other culture were sexual segregation was strong: Islamic countries, China, Japan. And it was always an attraction to pubescent males, never to kids (pedophilia proper) nor fully matured men (homosexuality proper), because they were the only available object that looked somewhat feminine. See the ideal of a youth with three hairs on his chin in Islamic countries or the chigo in Japan, which involved a pubertal boy being shifted in status from child to a special and very feminized servant of senior monks - he was essentially a temporary courtesan for monks in an environment where females were forbidden - until the end of adolescence.
In essence ancient sanctioned homosexuality resembles the pattern found in prison and boarding schools: the lack of females forces men to use each other for sexual satisfaction.
Based on these facts, a following conclusion can be made: homosexuality flourishes the strongest in conservative and restrictive patriarchal societies where the normal intercourse between sexes is hindered by cultural and economic means. The moment women are liberated, socially sanctioned homosexuality - pederasty - vanishes.
As for lifelong homosexuality instead of a contingency fetish, all the cultures shafted what we would now call today homos and troons into marginal and religious roles - male prostitutes at goddess temple, simple prostitutes, actors, shamans, cult leaders. Essentially, all low status jobs for the mentally ill and the emotionally unstable. A study of religion would confirm that all the fetishes of troons and homos - crossdressing, scatophilia, urophilia, body mutilation and bondage - aren't that new and recur in religious contexts where the third sex reigned. It's highly likely that such a body modification as circumcision started as an initiation rite into adulthood because some proto-troon shaman obsessed with kid dick got the idea from the voices in his head that a dick must be mutilated to signal a change in identity. By the way, the only groups that engage in penile mutilation today are shaman led abos across the world and the LGBT "subculture."
