“No no no no no no no no no....” he explained.

Uh oh. He went against the lbqertyabcxyzzz orthodox. Crucify him now.

Why don’t they study how many of them have a history of abuse, and crazy parents? Because they know the answer, maybe?

[pepsi_junkie]

I have to wonder if they studied trans people who were already doping themselves with hormones. They impact things all over, including the brain.

If so, this study is a bit like the Kinsey report, which gays love to tout as proving 10% of the population is gay. Kinsey interviewed convicts and asked them if they ever had a gay experience, 10% admitted they had. Boom, that's the same as the regular world and we have heard it for 60 years. But the sample was corrupted from the beginning.

I don’t have to be around my wife and her friends for very long before it’s pretty clear there are some male/female brain differences.

Wanting to lop off your schmeckel is not innate. It is a malfunction, a disorder.
No one is born wanting to slice it off.
The f*ckheads are desperate to prove that gay/dickchopping is 100% natural.
No, it isn’t, and they are insane.

***hormonal conditions in the womb perhaps***

And maybe the introduction of birth control pills and other medications taken by pregnant women during the last decades. All hormonal based medications have probably played a part in this abnormal development.

You've read about the index to ring finger ratio? It's supposed to predict for masculine/feminine tendencies, and be influenced by the amount of testosterone present during pregnancy.

My wife, who is extremely feminine in just about every expect, and somewhat math and tech challenged, was surprised to learn that her markedly shorter index finger indicated that she should be mathematically gifted and have lesbian tendencies.

"The fundamental problem is that a brain 'difference' detected at a single point in time cannot establish causation because thinking and behavior are known to alter brain anatomy, activity and function. This process is known as neuroplasticity."

This is precisely why Simon LeVay's 1991 study on the hypothalamus was useless to support the theory some are born with an attraction to the same sex.

LeVay's study was misrepresented from the start, causing many to think gays are born that way. Year's later LeVay had to set the record straight and state his study did NOT support the born that way theory.

I was recently reading a study from last year where (in the UK), they claimed to have found the gay gene. Well, no, they didn't, but people only remember the sensational headlines.

It's too bad we have reporters misrepresenting studies and some freepers who want to believe some people are born with an attraction to the same sex. Here's to hoping everybody reads and understands the actual facts.

If you don't agree with the outcome of a study you can always ask for more money for another one.

What they don't seem to factor in is how gender dysphoria has become fashionable and therefore attracts people who are merely craving attention.

Outside of tumors and trauma, they’ll never be able to consistently detect significant brain factors to predict behaviors. People are too soul-complex to be figured out with an MRI.

[scripter]

I remember that. They’ve tried to state the size of the hypothalamus, finger length, eye color, left handedness and more are indicators for those with same-sex attraction. None of it is true, none of it holds up to the facts and no study ever has supported anybody is born with an attraction to the same sex. It’s all sensationalism.

Worse, trannies have a 40+% suicide rate. Coddling this mental disease is for all intents and purposes a death sentence.

Good article

So many of these MRI based studies are close to junk science.

They make conclusions that are unwarranted based on the technology and measurements.

I’ve noticed there are often social/political biases in the studies.

I think some people would want to use brain scans to prove thought crimes.

Just seems almost impossible that environmental hormones in utero don’t play a role.

The use of DES, which was enormously widespread for over a generation led to reproductive organ defects in male and female children, and is also being blamed for third generation malformations of reproductive organs. This would be legitimately confusing for a person.
