You can't do it this way. It would work if we would know that everyone who is straight also identifies as being cis, but that's obviously not the case.

Also the way you calculated it would be 65% of people who identify as straight under the condition that a person is straight. Not 65% of respondents.

But again, that's assuming that everyone who is straight is cis.

We don't have the fine detail, but this is enough for a rough estimate.

That's all this is...a rough estimate. If we knew more details, we could refine that estimate. But then things get muddy when you consider what a "straight" relationship means to a cis person when only one person in the relationship is cis. So it comes down to what you want. Do you want a rough idea of the ratio, or do you want to get bogged down in the details and debate about what should be included?

But what you calculated isn't even possible. You calculated that more people are cis and straight than there are cis people. That alone is enough to disprove you.

Also the way you calculated it would be 65% of people who identify as straight under the condition that a person is straight. Not 65% of respondents.

I edited my comment to extrapolate the data and make it more clear...
