fraternal birth order isnt a new discovery. the problem with your post is the application of genetic determinism to explain homosexuality, while clearly having a (being charitable) high-school level understanding of immunology and physiology. The extent to which it is genetically determined (predisposed, to be more accurate) is a fairly intense field of study, but your proposed mechanism and presumed source offer incompetent and mechanistically inconclusive explanations, respectively. Further, any attempt to define homosexuality as a predominately genetic phenomena is spurious in the absence of more rigorous study. Your (presumed) source offered no variance assessments between homologs of hetero- and homosexual carriers, so arguing that the heritability* of homosexuality at all is a poor interpretation of the data I gave you. Considering you haven't posted a source yourself, I'd reccomend diving a bit deeper into the peer reviewed literature before making further claims. I'd also reccomend brushing up on comparable phenomena where maternal immunoresponse results in developmental "defects"**, e.g. rh-factor induced hemolytic disease in newborns. In doing so, you'd notice that the response is triggered not by immunoperception across the placenta, but rather by child-to-mother blood transfer occurring during delivery. In the absence of a similar exposure (e.g. one in which the fetal/neonatal nervous tissue is introduced into maternal circulation for immunorecgonition), I really look forward to hearing how you explain the maternal immune response arising to begin with. I'd like reiterate that the protein of consequence here is an embedded surface protein in fetal neuronal tissue, and not in free serum, and so there needs to be some mechanism by which fetal neuronal tissue is exposed to maternal immune cells.

thanks!

*I use heritability in the rigorous sense here, cf.
** I use the term defect here cautiously. Within the broader framework of evolution I do not like the term as it carries significant negative connotation, and within this subject it risks characterizing, in light of further study demonstrating genetic causation of homosexuality, homosexuality itself as a disorder or defect i.e. something to be "corrected"

being homophobic in a thread about encouraging a safe and welcoming space for LGBT+ community members is a bad look

eee.

Yes, I was simply asked to elaborate what I meant and I did so in a full response, clearly explaining the part with a girl having older brothers being theory of mine that seemed somewhat logical, and dedicated a whole paragraph on how even I saw several flaws within it. I did not argue that I was right, I would suggest all of you a pair of glasses to read it carefully.

In your post you say you look at the article in disbelief, but it is explaining the most probable science behind a tendency that EXISTS, and all I did for the most part in my posts is remind all of you that this tendency EXISTS, whatever the science behind it might be. Calling me names for doing that only proves how mentally restricted those who did it are.

I'm not going to stop posting when some idiots believe the only way to win an argument is to insult, knowing they cannot defend their point due to inability to properly put in use their flat-surfaced brains.

This is such a wholesome and supportive community. I feel comfortable saying that I sometimes use Shotgun to deny on Spire.

Well personaly, it's more like Gemm, like the idea of an experience with a man sounds cool for me, but i've never got the opportunity to find either a guy that i want to have sex with or a guy that wants to have sex with me (expect of some 40yo horny garbage person, that tried to give me money for that). For now i like good and old straight sex

And we can be glad that nothing of that scale is nearly as likely to crop up and distract us from being ourselves and embracing who we are in our current time, online freedom has definitely helped me come out to people and eventually feel more comfortable with it in the real.

About:

Oh you know, just your regular old british TF2 YouTuber furry. I always think steam profiles come of as really intimidating y'know? Like its usually ' Do not dare add me if youre below level ten as I will not accept!!!!!!! '.

By all means you're free to add me as long as I know you, if not, leave a comment why as it helps me filter through the copious amount of bots adding me : )

FAQ:
Why are you a furry???
Its an avatar

Can we play together sometime??
Of course! I'm quite often in the general voice chat of TFCo. so feel free to join if you'd like. Alternatively, you can spam me until I give in and actually play with you.

please dont choose the latter

Shitposterthis game makes ppl gay

I was right. I finally came to terms with the fact that I'm bi after struggling with it for almost 10 years.

Do not play the game Team Fortress Two or watching anime if you do not wish to acquire the BIG GAY.
