It seems there is a 'sex reversal syndrome' that is more common than I would have imagined. Or maybe this article refers to a different condition.

No, I don't think this part of some nefarious homosexual agenda.

It is further reported that the gene Dmrt1 seems to disappear after election to a public office.

Much to the relief of wives throughout the world.

Doea this mean that the guy in that old song is actually his own GrandMA, not his own GrandPA?

Gee...could this insight be used as prenatal therapy to prevent homosexuality in males?

We carry the relics of our past in the way our genes work.

It is fairly common, among fish and some amphibians and reptiles, to start out as a small male, then ‘mature’ into a large female.

Thus a gene keeping ‘male cells’ from becoming female may reflect that the default was previously that males would eventually (absent a protein signal constantly being produced) become female.

DMRT1 lack means sex reversal in cells. On the other hand too much DeMoRaTs means sex reversal in politics.

And lesbians, too. Parents could get medication to make sure their children grow up to be normal, healthy adults. I hope they keep working on this. (The only thing left to conquer then will be the mental indoctrination in the government schools.)
The disease of homosexuality could be eradicated once and for all - like polio.

That's when the quid pro quo gene becomes dominant.
