There’s no evidence that’s supports being gay is genetic, every single study into it has been a colossal failure. The most we’ve seen as plausible arguments are women hormone fluctuations during pregnancy causing disruptive development of the fetus. This however does not explain identical twins, where almost always if one is gay, the other is not. The current “science” on this theory essentially claims that it’s just because the straight one does not know he’s gay.
Isn't that just so convenient that people "just don't know" that they're gay/trans/etc, and need to be shown the light?
The concept of an "egg" is disgusting and predatory, and I don't know how people don't see this sort of coercive behavior and rightfully shun it.
It's a pretty apt metaphor, though. They want to crack it open, destroying any future potential within.
Yup, and even then, there have been no consistent endocrinology studies to back up that point. If you surf through enough studies, you'll find that the actual premise for that is based on speculative conjecture: https://academic.oup.com/endo/article/152/8/2937/2457178
Basically, it's just guesswork that there might be some endocrines that might affect the orientation of a fetus. And this premise is based entirely on... theorycrafting.
I wish I was making that up.
This is the unfortunate result of “science” having to try and compensate for societal demands
You haven't met my cousin.
Same age as me, we grew up together in rural Idaho in the '80s. He always had slightly weird speech mannerisms and feminine interests (going back to like 4-5 years old). He also had no shortage of friends in rural Idaho despite being a somewhat effeminate dude because he wasn't a narcissistic faggot. Came out as gay in his early 20s and I was completely unsurprised. He's now been married for 15 years.
So I don't know how you'd measure a "genetic" component, but there's definitely something there, at least for some people. And given the amount of repulsion the thought of gay sex gives me, I don't see how a not-actually-gay person could get past that and actually willingly have a gay relationship.
And before you say "must have been molested as a baby" -- I'm just going to say, I doubt it. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
That’s not genetics… again why I brought forward the only current viable hypothesis, which essentially boils down “it most likely happens during fetus development, but we don’t actually know”. There’s also the harsh reality that there are far more men that engage in sodomy without being “gay” the more it is normalized and accepted.
And we can't know because investigating homosexuality from that angle is "bigotry" and a stepping stone to conversion therapy.
I'm not going to argue the studies, because I think none of the studies have been good. So far, the most we've got is correlations. I still believe there is a non-social explanation to some homosexuality.
I've often found that there seems to be, among the stories of homosexuals and heterosexuals (who were experiencing) a common theme among males that "discovered" they were one way or the other. I call it: "The Dick-In-Mouth Test"
It seems to actually be pretty clear that in their own words, the subjects identified that they were going to try and fool around with a male partner they were comfortable with and there were two reactions:
One: the subject would see the other males dick, have a near insatiable desire to put it in their mouth, and think that this was a good idea.
Two: the subject would (by one way or another) have their friend's dick in their mouth, and immediately decide that this was a bad idea.
One is homosexual. Two is heterosexual.
Nobody seems to have the reaction of: "Meh, I could go either way with this dick in my mouth" or "I'm not sure what to think of this dick in my mouth, but I think I could be persuaded one way or the other, lets give it some time."
Nope, it seems to be pretty clear and pretty consistent in each case.
I tend to think that such a clear reaction for their first homosexual encounter is likely going to be an indicator of a genetic pressure rather than a social pressure.
You don't need to teach a straight guy to like boobs. You also don't need to teach a gay guy to eat dick.
Nature, uh, finds a way.
We have approximately ZERO credible correlations in any field of medical science.
