I know and have read about people that have various mental disorders, such as OCD that become gay, then want to, or do become transexuals. I wonder if being able to “chose” their sexual lifestyle gives them a feeling of control over their minds and bodies, rather than the OCD or whatever other mental disorder they feel is controlling them.

Of course it is a false control - hence the ramping up from gay (mental) to trans (physical). And then often suicide, once they realize that they still are not in control. Of course as with many problems in life, it is not our job to change - it is to allow God to change us.

A little quibble: sexual orientation is most likely of prenatal origin. The brain/sex connection has a very small window of time in fetal development. There is evidence that the womb environment has an epigenetic (environmental) influence on said development.

I have personal experience with men who have survived horrific sex abuse st the hands of male authorities and none that I know of became gay. Even if they went on to be subjects of seduction by other males, their personal attraction was toward women. I know men thst were raped as children by a man that are happily married to women.

It’s not about control...they are sexual deviants who cannot accept that they are deviants.....much much easier to say whatever the latest ‘sexual trend’ is that’s feeding the public. That’s why they’re never satisfied....they never address their real problem..

Well, not everybody that looks at porn is a child molester but almost every child molester is found to be a porn person. So that's not really a good test.

Being raped as a child or lack of a father probably doesn't affect everyone the same way even though it is well known that gay men often have that history.

What's more scientific is twin studies which show that separated twins don't both become gay at a significant rate.
