As we now have trans as a protected class it has shown the slippery slope in full free fall from the “gay rights” debate a decade ago. The problem is that laws based on fallacies will always be abused because their is no need to prove that any additions are legitimate. We have known for centuries men and women are not equal, we have known for centuries that racial aggregates depended on the culture dictating genetics. When we pretended that this didn’t matter we opened the door for non-biological protected classes. There has never been any evidence that being gay or trans is genetic, and there has been inconclusive evidence that gay and trans is biological at all aside from the biological impact occurring from grooming. In fact the best biological evidence we have is that external stimuli (aka other people) is what causes biological changes in the individual. Yet now we have more protected classes that are inherently non-biological than provably biological. These abuses are meant to subjugate not protect, they are meant to deny reality in place of accepting it.

I'm a biological essentialist: Evolutionary psychology explains virtually everything about human behaviour. Whether you believe in God or not, either His will or the natural order is expressed in your genetics. You can try to rise above it if you want, and it might even be that there is some virtue to be found in doing so, but to deny the role that your genes have played in shaping the person you are is just silly.
Evolutionary psychology is the BIGGEST crock of shit. Not all of our motivation in life exists because monkey. Its just absurd
People justify some of the worst human behavior based on evolutionary psychology
The evidence for it is overwhelming. Refusing to accept it because you don't like the implications doesn't make the evidence go away.
There really is no evidence. Its just something people use to justify poor behavior. Man has a higher nature and an animal nature. Evolutionarians only see the animal nature and as such justify the worst human behavior
No one who understands evopsych has ever tried to use it as an excuse in the way you describe. You're just trying to discredit it for no reason other than that its implications make you uncomfortable. Of course people are still able to exercise self-restraint and of course they should be held responsible for not doing so. Biology is not an excuse for refusing to exercise self-control: It's a tool to help us understand why people are the way they are.
When I say that human free will is limited, I mean that it is restricted by genetic factors, environmental factors, and even by what we eat and drink. All of those things impose constraints on our capacity for decision-making, but none of them more so than the behaviour of the people around us. Individuals may be capable of exercising self-restraint to a certain degree, but groups are not, and the bigger the group, the more that is true. You only need to look at the way mobs behave to know that that's true.
Corporate globalists are using the same applied behavioral psychology that drives their advertising campaigns to bully and manipulate huge swathes of human society into accepting unprecedented limitations on their freedoms. All you need is to look at how successful they've been at convincing people to accept this regime, and at demonizing those who resist it. That can't be explained in any other way than that our own evolutionary and genetic predispositions are being used against us in order to enforce compliance.
The politics of fear would not be so effective if evopsych were a crock of shit as you say.
Not even the modern evolutionary scientist community actually agrees. They recently had a whole thing trying to figure out a new theory even because there are too many problems with the current theory. I am not saying here it isn't true or claiming that, but you are way off the wild end on it and clearly someone who has not actually followed where the real science is. You live in the realm of pop science, not where the real evolutionary scientists even stand [who are people who DO support that]. It is ok though, most people don't realize the massive chasm in evolutionary science between pop science you see in news/magazines/books/everywhere vs the actual peer reviewed literature of current evolutionary biology where the actual scientists currently working through the theories and ideas are.
There is no genetic evidence that there are homosexual allele strands. If there is, feel free to link to it.
