I've been a Conservative, Republican for as long as I can remember. I highly doubt that was genetic, though.

You would be correct, being a conservative republican is not tied to your genetics. I honestly don't care why I was born gay. I don't care if it was hormonal imbalance due to my mom having two boys in her womb, or if it was caused by a certain allele on my X chromosome. Honestly why does it matter? I, along with all other openly gay people are just trying to be the best version of ourselves as we can. Being that best version of myself does not include lying to myself and everyone else in order to try to be someone I'm not. It's exhausting. If you or anyone else chooses to believe it's a choice or whatever, then great. I stopped caring about your opinions a long time ago.

So it's environmental? Something happens in a kids young life? That could explain why it's more likely for twins to share the same homosexual orientation more than the average but far from guaranteed, Twins probably have a higher chance of having identical experiences when younger because they are the same age, usually together more frequently, and are in many cases are treated the same as opposed to other siblings.

Might be a bit of a since "trans" is not necessarily gay, but the "born this way" line is complete bullshite.

My wife's cousin recently told us he wants to be a she. He has apparently been seeing a "therapist" and getting prescriptions for hormones. We discussed his feelings and within 5 minutes had pegged the main source of his desire/need to "transition." His "therapist" never bothered to go into his childhood, and has been prescribing the hormones. fricking drug dealers are all these "therapists" are.

They just go along with what the patient says, give them the hook, and collect the cash. They have accepted the "born this way" narrative and roll with it, leaving their clients hanging in the wind later.

The problem is that these people have deeply set issues and baggage in their mind that is not solved by a sex change. They think their feelings are from "the real gender trying to surface," but it is simply(simple, but sure as hell not easy) a lack of emotional awareness. They go through a major process that they think is a solution to their life's problem, and eventually those same emotions resurface. They hit a brick wall, since the feelings are supposed to have gone away with he arduous "transition" but it's still there. Their internal battle hasnt even begun yet. Hence the ridiculously high suicide rate.

Because they have identical DNA, it ought to be 100%,” Dr. Whitehead notes. But the studies reveal something else. “If an identical twin has same-sex attraction the chances the co-twin has it are only about 11% for men and 14% for women.” Because identical twins are always genetically identical, homosexuality cannot be genetically dictated.

---

Genetic risk for heart disease can be the exact same for identical twins yet because of their environment they can have very different risk factors for heart attack.

Why would this be any different? It's not rare at all for genetic predisposition to require the appropriate environment for expression.

As a Christian, I believe it is metaphysical. We are all born into sin, and just like we get different gifts of the Holy Spirit, we get different sins that tempt us each as individuals. My temptation might be lying, whereas someone else has the temptation of violence, or even homosexuality.

Obviously.

I love how your story with your "twin" changed after your gotcha moment was torn to shreds.

Should have specified I'm a fraternal twin, so no this study does not relate to me.

-Did your mother take anything to enhance fertility?
-Are you the 2nd born?
-Is you twin the same or opposite sex?
-If the same sex is there a noted physical size difference (height, weight)?

Isn't this exactly why you guys shite on climate science?

Because it's done by climate scientists who shockingly enough are invested in climatology?

The pastor didn't conduct the research you big dummy.

Nah

You're reading comprehension must be lacking because I said I have a twin, then clarified that I have a fraternal twin and not identical.

---

No it's apparent your comprehension is lacking.

. Fraternal twins come from 2 eggs, as opposed to identical who come from 1 egg. This means fraternal twins do not have identical DNA.

K

Tell me how you were attracted to men at the age of 4, since you ALWAYS knew you were.

Sexual attraction happens at puberty doesn't it?

Yet you always knew? Smh

Homosexuality is gods way of dealing with world wide overpopulation. He's got the whole world in his hands Stop fighting other people over personal choice. And no, i never once.

I could give two shits who is gay and what you do in your bedroom.

This is my point of this thread though. The fact that science doesn't prove your stupid agenda it just goes to show another issue the left has politicized.

So, carry on and berate those of us who just want the Science cleared up!
