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.

Well I am gay and I wasn't groomed. If it's genetic it shows in a wonky way tough, cause I have a twin brother and he isn't gay.
My older brother is gay tough. So it's probably somewhat genetic? There has to be something there, since to my knowledge he wasn't groomed either.
Bit of a false dichotomy there are other options unless I guess you believe in no free will and you are just a moist robot subject to your chemistry and nothing more. There are other ways. Not saying I know what is right, but even aside from the genetic studies there are a lot of logical problems with it being simply genetic.
That aside, it actually isn't even a good defense against those who have a moral problem with people being gay [which is what 90% of people use it as, a very poor defense], once again unless you believe there is truly no free will then why does it matter for us to discuss this anyway if there is no free will xD.
Unironocally this. Our genetics determine our hormonal makeup and our personality. Human free will is extremely limited if it exists at all. Mostly, we just do what comes naturally to us and then rationalize it afterwards.
In the case of homosexuality, there is some evidence of same-sex attraction taking place among non-human animals, which indicates that either there is an overt genetic factor, or that it's a recessive genetic response to environmental factors such as food availability or population pressure. It could be that some individuals randomly express a trait that takes them out of the reproductive mix if population pressures grow too severe.
No, you are a scientific materialist. Its scientific materialism that is leading us on a direct path to Hell
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.
