Is there any scientific basis for this?

About a century of trying very, very hard to change the mind to match the body instead of the other way around and failing miserably.

What I'm still curious about are the claims of the nouveau sexualities, orientations, and genders. Trans I get, nonbinary, sure, but what about the demiromantics, homoromantic asexuals, and aporagender? Is there validity with some or any of these claims?

Validity in what sense? I mean the issue is your question is so vague that it's essentially unanswerable. I mean in one sense it's clearly valid in that it describes some aspect of their personality in the same sense that "I like ice cream" does. In another, I think it's rather unlikely these are the same sort of fundamental aspects of identity that things like gender or sexuality are. But just asking if they are valid claims is too unclear about what you mean to have any real discussion on.

Would any of the posters denying that claim please link to the scientific study they are referencing?

That's not how it works. If someone's making a scientific claim it's absolutely on that person to support it and not the people questioning it.

A lot of the "weirder" social justice blogs are trolls trying to discredit the social justice movement, for what it's worth.

I don't think anyone should give any credence to claims that "oh everyone on our side who is bad is actually just a plant from the opposition".

Don't spoilertag NWS images: they're still loaded even when spoilered. Always link them.
