Quote by: Osborn F Enready I would say from everything I have learned up to now, it is a process that probably takes place in the birth canal, while being delivered, due to hormones produced by the mother during delivery.
I am still very puzzled with the emerging facts, but they are helping to paint a clearer picture of how it seems to be a result of a process at birth.
I would believe, that in the future (for better or worse....) they will know how to prevent or alter the process (using drugs) that creates gays/lesbians. I am sure there will be much argument and debate over the "ethics" involved, but it will never the less be a discussion that takes place, as the science comes out.
So my answer is both really.
I think gay/lesbian inclination is born in, at birth, and out of control of the individual being birthed....however.... I also believe science will be able to alter the "percentage" of gays/lesbians born to parents using drugs, at the choice of the parents. |
I saw the report on the study about hormones at birth causing this sexual orientation, and it seems logical to me. But no, Isherwood, I don't think left handedness is hormonal. According to the show, the more boy babies a woman has, the more likely the next will be homosexual. They are guessing the woman's system reacts to the male hormones in such away that her hormones counter the male hormones at a critical moment, and that this reaction is more likely to happen when she has more than one boy. But this would not explain masculine females.
It would take a lot of energy to deliberately act differently from how one's wiring naturally causes a person to act, and homosexuals frequently appear as the opposite sex in many ways, early in life. Thinking of acting like a man all day every day, because I wanted to be as man, is not an attractive idea to me. That would take sooo much energy! On the other hand, I saw a lot of dikes on a California beach, and I don't think these women would ever be feminine.
