Is homosexuality a genetic disorder?

Probably it's not only genetic disorder ky it's not only once that I see men na sige PAMAYOT eventually MABAYOT sad. Nakabantay mo ani?

[ArCkz]

It's environmental...

If its genetics... kana ranang balbon nga babae if sobra sa male hormones. And maybe boobsie nga lalake if sobra rasad sa female hormones.

how is it possible na mka-absorb ang brain sa developing baby og testosterone pero ang body ky dli?

It is because the absorption of testosterone in brain and in body is dictated by different but related genes. Dili lamang usa ka gene ang involved ani nga process. Some of these genes were switched off during early stage of embryonic development, mao nang dunay mga fetus nga body lang ang naka-absorb sa hormone. Ang brain nagpabiling babaye.

Pero kung tinuod mn ni, wouldn't it be better kung magconduct og experiment na ang bayot ky tagaan og daghang testosterone? og ang tomboy tagaan og progesterone? pra macheck kung sakto ba jud ni nga theory.... hehehehe

Actually the 'masculinization' process occurs at the early stage of embryonic development (approximately 8 weeks after fertilization). So bisan pa'g pila ka litro nga testosterone ang imong ihatag sa usa ka bayot/tomboy, wala na nay epekto kay dugay na man nahuman ang maong proseso.

I understand that the subject in this thread is very sensitive and I would like to emphasize that this thread is purely scientific in nature. It was created to discuss the merits/demerits of the theory discuss here. So please be as objective as you can. Let's try to avoid personal attacks and discrimination. Having said that, feel free to express your ideas regarding the theory and information being discussed here.

interesting ni na topic bay. but, unsa man explenasyon anang edaran na unya nabayot lang ug kalit?

[yanong_banikanhon]

Basin bayot na na siya daan bay, pero iya lang gitago. Unya adtong medyo edaran na siya, wala na gyud siya kaagwanta, maong nigawas na gyud ang iyang pagkabayot.

Kanang ilang giingon nga dunay straight nga lalaki nga nabayot human makauyab og bayot, as of now, wala na siya'y scientific basis. Ang current understanding sa science is nagsugod ang pagkabayot didto ilalom sa sabakan sa inahan.

Depende siguro sa kadaghanon/kakulangon sa testosterone, dunay mga bayot nga makaagwanta og pila ka tuig nga i-suppress ang ilang gibati sa kahadlok nga binuangan or tamayon sila sa katilingban. Duna poy mga bayot nga wala'y pakialam sa isulti sa uban. Kana tanan depende na sa amount sa testosterone nga naabsorb sa fetus during his early stage.

homosexuality is not a disorder... what makes it a disorder , if ang bayot, bisag bayot gyud ug aura, magpa pretend gyud nga laki sila, good example of that kanang mga bisexual or maya-maya....

since na uso naman ron ang maya-maya... ang ubang mga bayot mag maya maya sad.. pa dah sa uso... mag laki laki bisag klaro nga girlie...

mao na silay mga naay disorder...


by the way, im a gay bisag laki kog beauty, pero, babaye gyud ko ug kasing kasing... and im proud of it...

naay phsychological factors?

[champ]

naa jud psychological factors.

[gareb]

Actually, in epigenetics, they are caused by a single phenomenon - the switching off of some genes which make the brain and/or body partially (not fully) masculinized.

if it is caused by one single phenomenon, then every single man who is also attracted to other men (sexual orientation), should think of himself as a woman (sexual identity), and act and dress accordingly (gender identity). this simply isn't the case.

I don't think there is any scientific study to back up the claim that sports is a masculine trait and art is a feminine trait. In fact, three of the world's famous artists (Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Raphael) are all male.

i am thinking there still might be some confusion on how the concepts are grasped here. the three axes that i mentioned, again are independent and distinct (though correlated) from each other.

Lesbianism could be the result of the brain absorbing too much testosterone (fully masculinized brain) and the body absorbing lesser or no testosterone at all (partially masculinized body).

the problem with this is where the testosterone might come from since women do not have the Y chromosome where the instructions for testosterone production are suppose to originate.

when the study suggests that testosterone 'masculinizes', it only suggested how sexual orientation is changed, (from the attraction to men, to the attraction to women) and not necessarily how the body will appear physically later on since the most significant portion of that happens during puberty via action of testosterone in males (and estrogen in females).

i think essentially the study is only about sexual orientation (homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality) and not the other axes; something that should not be confused with each other.

FACTS! FACTS! FACTS! Do not post opinion as fact. If it is your own opinion, theory, or hypothesis, then make that clear. Otherwise, post your source.

I respect what he is saying but is just skeptical because I do not know anything of him that will serve as credential to validate what he is saying.

when the study suggests that testosterone...

i think essentially the study...

What study are you talking about? This also applies to everyone.
