Re: Are *** men better singers?
^ First off, thanks for not calling me an idiot right off the bat. I'll try to address all questions from both your posts.
-The idea you read on other threads of stress hormones affecting the neonate which causes altered sexuality was probably coming from me (my posts). I'm going to post a scientific journal article soon, I promise. That said, there is still much unknown....
-for instance, female homosexuality. I have no idea how that works according to what I've learned. I can only guess it also has something to do with the mother experiencing stress which causes her to secrete cortisol which passes into her baby's nerve tissues. The studies I've looked at only concern male homosexuality and it's possible biological cause.
-I actually defend homosexuals, by saying it is not their 'choice' to behave the ways they do. Their mothers caused the abnormality prenatally. Of course, too many women don't know about the impact of stress hormones. Thus, we can't just blame women like Krishtan was pointing out. It's easy to wrap our heads around fetal alcohol syndrome because we all know alcohol is a poison. But stress hormones do many things to us we are sometimes unaware of.
-I'm afraid (someday) we DO have to address homosexuality for what it is: an ailment if you want to call it that. A male's brain has been damaged (in sexually dimorphic nuclei only). The male homosexuals' brains have been shown to have sexually dimorphic nuclei (cell bodies in the brain) that are 50% smaller than in heterosexual brains. Women have the same size sexually dimorphic nuclei areas as homosexuals. In this way, homosexual males brains are similar to female brains. This was shown in autopsy studying these areas.
-As noted, other brain areas are unaffected.
-My issue I have which relates to the OP's thread: The problem is that we have shows (possibly American idol, but others are far more noteworthy) that are glorifying homosexuality. Now, not that there is anything wrong with homosexuals...I'm just saying glorifying homosexuality is like glorifying Down syndrome. It is wrong, imo, to uphold and glorify ANY form of brain damage. We should all strive to prevent brain damage in every infant. These are defenseless infants. This is imo. Some TV shows are practically saying it's OK to damage your infant's brain. Just because there are more victims (normalization) doesn't make it right.
-Here is what is wrong with making a normal male into a homosexual male while he is in the womb: he is having his future affected negatively. He is having 'abilities' (normal sexuality) taken from him. Destroyed is his normal desire to reproduce and carry on his family line. Even if the homosexual male chooses to have a family--kids of his own--by whatever means, his ability to do so is lessened when you look at large populations of homosexuals. Sure, his sperm works just as well as anyone elses, but he does not have the normal drive to reproduce with women. The chances of him having children are lessened for that reason alone. This issue is getting into the very core of what it means to live and survive to some (opinion). Survival includes passing on offspring into the next generation. Homosexuality interferes with ones ability to do this. People should not have this ability taken away from them, ESPECIALLY before they are born.
-No, nothing is wrong with a child born with brown eyes and you wanted blue, but you wouldn't want to take away or damage his eyesight...that would just be wrong. Homosexuality is not a cosmetic thing like widows peak or no widows peak. Homosexuality affects the survival of the family line.
-Other problems: as mentioned, 'coming out of the closet', not having the simplicity of normal male-female relationships (in regards to future family roles with children), etc. These are problems that homosexual males must encounter which they would not have to had their parents prevented the altered sexuality in the first place. Sure, we all have problems we encounter in life, but it's safe to say homosexual males are exposed to worse problems: higher suicide rates, more STI's, 'bashing', etc. All this is preventable.
-'I don't think I have heard of any pregnancy being stress free, shouldn't there be more fairy folk running around?'...When I say stressful pregnancy, I'm talking about long term stress that harms the neonate. Morning sickness and labor are natural pains that don't secrete the sort of 'fight or flight' hormones that pass through all lipid membranes. Well, they may be secreted in small amounts, but perinatal hormone secretion isn't going to have time to damage the brain during labor.
To simplify: a pregnant woman expects to have morning sickness. She does not expect all the sudden surprises at her job which jolt her and secrete stress hormones to help her deal with dangers. When your boss gives you a workload, you respond to it using the same mechanisms we would use to get away from a lion. We use a primitive stress response system which is more suited to dealing with life threatening dangers. Pregancy pains are handled with endogenous opiods and endorphins which don't pass through all tissues and harm the infant.
-About bisexuals, transvestitism, etc. Sexuality is on a spectrum, and it is believed that stressful pregnancies have caused these cases as well. Again, I can only really talk with confidence about male homosexuals because those were the subjects of studies.
