A friend reminds me that there's this too (which makes me wonder about why ‘we’ insist on sending mercury laden vaccines to the pediatric patients in 3rd world countries in spite of eliminating them (for the most part) for our own pediatric population). especially the bit about population reduction via infertility... http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/12/101203-homosexual-birds-mercury-science/

On a different angle entirely, true story, a family friend had the following conversation with her little girl:

Girl: I like helping sick people get better. I want to be a nurse.

Mom: That's nice, dear. But you could be a doctor if you want.

Girl: Girls can be doctors?

Mom: You can be anything you want.

Girl (delighted): Really? Oh, mommy, I want to be a boat!

What would you do if your 3-year-old son told you assuredly that he wanted to be a girl?

Tell him to get over it.

"... hormones may contribute to, but do not actually determine, the course of sexual orientation in individuals with an abnormal sex steroid history during prenatal life."

I mentioned that the causes ay be multivalent. "Contribute to" can be significant for an individual who is, for other reasons, particularly vulnerable.

Myself, I've never met a gay person who didn't have a deeply unsatisfactory relationship with their same-sex parent. But, again, not everybody who has a crappy relationship with their same-sex parent turns out gay.

There could be a number of intersecting cumulative or contributing factors.

From what I've read two leading causes are an overbearing mother with weak or absent father and sexual abuse.

"Chicken hawks" look for young ones that are very vulnerable.

This reminds me of the rage I felt thirty years ago when I was writing ads for a silicone implant company...the ads were to go into a medical journal for plastic and reconstructive surgeons. I read a few issues of the magazine to get an idea of the topics the doctors were concerned with.

I was appalled by one article that set forth the psychological reasons why it was a good idea to install mammary implants in pre-pubescent girls, if they were obsessively worried that when their actual breasts grew in, they wouldn’t be big enough. Plus, an artificial rack would give the girls a social advantage and higher status in school.

Thank you. I’ve know 3 year old’s that wanted to be firetrucks, and ponies. Wonder if these parents would pay for surgery to turn Jack into a horse? If not have him live in a pasture and eat grass.
Idiots!

“Transgender people have alarmingly high rates of depression, substance abuse and suicide.”

As do most mentally ill people.

We have to also remember the millions of women who have been taking massive dosses of artificial hormones to regulate their cycle and prevent birth.

When tens of millions of women of breeding age, mid teens to late forties or older, use artificial hormones and then expel them from their body, the sewage treatment plants do not remove these chemicals. They are deposited into our rivers and streams and become part of our drinking water.

Do they effect the fish and amphibian species? Do they effect the male children who use the water for drinking, making soft drinks and washing?

Most women themselves are unaware of the health risks associated with oral contraceptive use. Increases in certain types of cancer as well as benign tumors have been found as well as a serious increase in heart attack, stroke, hypertension and other circulatory related illnesses. Especially if a women smokes while talking the pill.

This would seem like common sense as a massive dose of any chemical natural or synthetic would have consequences on the body.

Of course the pill and abortion is what has allowed women to become as cavalier about sex as men so we can’t have any real investigation or information on possible negative side effects.

A 3 year old hasn’t the capacity to discern reality from fantasy.

Agreed. What if their three-year-old told his parents that he wanted to eat only M&Ms for the rest of his life? Would they respect his decision?

Homosexuality is a Marxist theory construct to normalize sodomizing the boys again, like the homosexual cultures of the Samurai and Sparta. There is nothing rational or virtuous about the dehumanizing desires of homosexuals. It is unnatural and learned by child abuse and neglect.

Today’s muslim cultures are homosexual. All homosexual cultures are extremely sexist (hateful), they warp sexual desire of children (like the parents of this boy—they totally emasculated him-—made him hate being a “boy”. It is easy to do. Children are totally dependent on parents for their understanding of Reality (Truth) and how they feel about themselves.

Teaching this lifestyle is destroying the ability of children to be rational and virtuous. Their mind will be obsessed with sex, since they are hyper-sexualized-—much like a John Wayne Gacy—raped as a boy and had an obsession with raping boys and killing them—(looking at people as anal cavities destroys dignity).

This creation of a tribal worldview is to destroy the ability to be a critical thinker—to understand Natural Law and to destroy Unity (the family is the only basic unit, which can create autonomous,rugged individuality and unite the most diverse of human beings: Male and female. Rational, virtuous people would never accept the slavery in a Marxist Collective “utopia”.

They want a NWO-—and Christianity is incompatible with all tribal socialistic”thinking”: http://www.examiner.com/article/afghan-pedophilia-a-way-of-life-say-u-s-soldiers-and-journalists

I agree with your post. Just because I believe there is some genetic basis for homosexuality doesn't mean I approve of sodomy or think three year olds should be sexually reassigned. I believe there is some genetic basis for alcoholism, but that doesn't mean I think alcoholics are entitled to drink and drive.

If I had swallowed liberal Kool Aid, I'd be asserting that homosexuality is a NORMAL variant, such as having blue eyes rather than brown eyes, and that homosexuality should expressed in whatever way the afflicted wants to express it. However, I am arguing nothing of the sort.

Poly-cystic ovary syndrome is a biological condition that cause women to produce too much testosterone. The symptoms of it include hirsutism, including facial hair, and infertility. Guess what? POS is dramatically more prevalent among lesbians than among straight women. Pointing that out does not mean that I believe lesbians are entitled on account of their medical problem to have sex with women.

There doesn't have to be one acceptable conservative view of what causes homosexuality; conservatives need only be united in, for example, refusing to have institutions like marriage distorted to accommodate homosexuality.
