Quote:Well, I agree with parts of this. Yes, they're not right up there because they're brain is telling them they have thoughts and feelings like a woman or man, but the plumbing doesn't match. Genetically, yes they're either male or female. I do not agree at all that environment has anything to do with it. This is that old "you chose to be gay, etc" debate and It's untrue.

 

I understand your point. However, you don't think upbringing and social experiences play a role in decisions? 

 

Example; (of course not all, but a fairly common occurrence) women who have experienced domestic violence or molested by a man as a child, turn to women when they get older. Would the chance not be greater?

 

 

 

BTW, thanks for discussing. I hope I am not offending anyone through all of this. I know this can be a touchy subject.
