What are the implications of this? Can we finally say that homosexuality has a genetic basis? 200,000 is a massive sample size. The image of the hands is because of the 2D:4D ratio – the index finger versus the ring finger. It's one of the markers they use to estimate prenatal testosterone exposure. The shorter the index finger relative to the ring finger, the greater the exposure. Thoughts?
>>
>>17061639
exposure in the womb isn't a genetic origin but it is certainly a justification for being "born gay," or more accurately born predisposed to homosexuality
>>
>>17061639
What a disgusting methodology.
>>
>>17061643
What methodology?
>>
>>17061639
Homosexuality is Environmental, Not "Genetic". Also, majority of the nonheterosexual respondents had undergone multiple changes in sexual identity...There's also a correlation to be found between bad parental relationships and the development of homosexual interests

>>17061648
Did you even bother to read the methodology of the article you posted?

Normalising testosterone levels in the womb primarily focuses on managing the pregnant parent's hormonal health, as the developing fetus relies entirely on the gestational environment. In a standard pregnancy, the placenta acts as a highly effective barrier, utilizing the enzyme aromatase to neutralize typical surges of maternal testosterone into non-androgenic forms

It was observed that lesbian women tend to throw objects with more accuracy than gay men, although they have less grip strength; and heterosexual men outperform all groups in both throwing accuracy and strength, while heterosexual women score worst in both of these characteristics.

homosexuality has a genetic basis!
Christian bros? Our answer??
>>
>>17061639
haha
your momma does in fact know you're gay
because she wanted you to be
fags and troons clocked
>>
>>17065088
Why? Lesbian women tend to have been exposed to higher levels of testosterone in the womb than heterosexual women, while gay men tend to have been exposed to lower levels than heterosexual men.

This is inferred from the 2D:4D ratio (the ratio between the length of the index finger and the ring finger): a lower ratio is associated with greater prenatal exposure to testosterone.
>>
>>17065091
>Christian bros? Our answer??
I'm not Christian, but the answer is that due to the fall of man all humans are "genetically" inclined to sin and homosexuality is not special in that regard at all and you still should try to not fuck men even if your flesh tempts you to do so.

Go read the article, Also, how do you explain that lesbian women tend to throw objects with more accuracy than gay men, although they have less grip strength? People are born lesbians and gays. It's literally over.

>>17065155
There is no evidence of a genetic origin for homosexuality. And this article is pathetic.

Well done. Stop copying every piece of crap you read on Twitter. Lesbians aren't magically exempt from sexual dimorphism. They may live in a fantasy world where they think they can fight with men, but that doesn't change anything.

You don't know how articles work, you genius. The validity of an article doesn't depend exclusively on its age. Besides, the article was cited by 180 authors. It's not like it's irrelevant. And this isn't the only study on this, do you want me to rub more articles in your face? Besides, NONE of you refuted the article in the OP's statement. People are gay in the womb. Predisposition. This abuse or "environmental" bullshit can be discarded.

They can tho. Its genetic
"One meta-analysis covering around a quarter of a million people found that gay men exhibit verbal and spatial skills typical of straight women, whereas lesbians exhibit spatial skills (though not verbal skills) typical of straight men."

imo it's just a personality trait. Might change, might not. Maybe like a political ideology or religious affiliation.

I know people have an agenda in saying "it won't change" because of conversion camps, but that doesn't change the truth of if it does or not.

Also 2D:4D is poor indicator for sexual orientation. Modern study puts it as unreliable with no significant effect.

>People are gay in the womb. Predisposition. This abuse or "environmental" bullshit can be discarded
Again the same old cope. Human sexuality is complex that it's simple information theory limit that no amount of genetic/epigenetic or hormone can encode all sexual behavioural aspect. Which why every decade they come up with new cope. First its biological determinism that "born this way" then its "maybe it combination of factor of genetic/hormone/environment" then "no everyone is bi". It's the denial of recognising environmental/social factor as the dominant one which leads to moving the goalpost because if they don't do it the so called minority gets angry and cancels them. DNA doesn't contain blueprint for your entire brain. It the most changeable organ whose design is driven by outside input. We are a learning machine and there's nothing wrong admitting that.
