“Your argument is irrelevant. Almost every man has the desire to mate with as many women as possible. Most men recognize that as destructive behavior and do not engage in it.”

Do they? True or not, it would certainly be interesting to see the scientific studies on that subject with an added investigation of gender roles included.

“Whether by nature or (failure of) nurture someone has destructive sexual urges, they still have the responsibility to control and abstain from them.”

I would tend to agree with you. however, I can see where there are researchers who would argue too much control had/has a negative effect upon human development. Then there are those people who argue that homosexuality was encouraged in the First World nations to curb the perceived threat of Global overpopulation and NWO dominance of global resources.

“You cannot definitively identify a biological cause in any case, only a correlation.”

I cannot discern exactly what you are referring to there. It can be said, however, that we do know for a fact that geneder behavior is determined by a number of factors ranging from the sex chromosome karyotype and other genetic transcriptors, hormones in the womb, exogenous exposures to hormones in the food supply and environment, hormones in medicines, and a variety of other factors. It is because the ability to discover the cause and nature of an individual instance of transgender physical and/or mental condition that makes it more or less problematic to determine which are and are not cause for concern with respect to claims of their being mentally ill with no regard to the biological realities and lack of mental illness.

Sounds like missing the forest for the trees. I find it highly ironic that many consider a single gene determines sexual identity and an entire Y chromosome does not.

We know that the Y chromosome makes you a male. We can potentially see correlation between a particular gene and behavior through studies, but that doesn't mean we have any idea how that gene is expressed physiologically to influence behavior. And humans always have a choice in behavior, even chemical addictions can be overcome.

Finally, we simply cannot accommodate every desire of every person in society. We have to make decisions concerning who we will protect, who has priority in society.

Bernie and Hillary represent those who live in a fantasy world where every dream and desire of everyone can be fulfilled, no matter how destructive, stupid, or evil.
