Homosexuality

Sexual proclivity is not strictly a black and white genetic per se.

Genes as we all know are either dominant or reccesive so it would take millions of years to 'Darwin out' the homosexual fingerprint purely on the basis that they don't produce children and will therefore become extinct.
Many people carrying the homosexual gene will not be or act homosexual any more than a person with brunette hair who goes on to have blonde children acted 'blonde'.
They may have carried the gene through their families for generations without any reason to suspect they did but move into a particular gene pool that allows the homosexual gene to be dominant ie two people carrying the recessive gene getting marries and suddenly Bobs your Auntie.

The sooner people simply accept that homosexuality is just one of those things like the colour of your hair and that there is no active choice in the decision the better we will all be and can then go on to worry about serious issues that really affect us.

All eggs remember are female and the sex of the baby is purely down to the amount of testosterone the developing embryo was subject to during fertilisation and early growth.

Compare the male and female genatalia and you can easliy see exactly where they share a common development.

I hate to put everyman off from oral sexual activity but the labia majora would have been the scrotum, the clitoral hood the foreskin and the clitoris the glans or knob end if you prefer.

:rolleyes: is this for real????....the sex of a developing embryo is determined by the x and y chromosomes....not testosterone!!....

Er there may well be some effect on the gender identity according to this and related articles

:rolleyes: you need to re read this article.....testosterone has an effect from 7 weeks gestation....the gender has already been determined at conception..xx or xy...i was merely pointing out that testosterone didnt determine a male gender embryo....because it doesnt!....simple biology!..
 
Years ago I used to watch 'Hawaii Five 0' and they were always going on about 'fingering the bad guy'. I watched it for years and never found out if it was a treat or a punishment. :LOL:

Not quite so simple

The major factor in sex differentiation in humans is a locus on the short arm of the Y chromosome designated SRY or SrY (for sex-determining region of the Y). This comparatively small gene contains no introns and encodes for a protein with only 204 amino acids. The protein appears to be a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding type that causes somatic cells of the developing gonad to become Sertoli cells that secrete a hormone, Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS), that eliminates the Müllerian duct system (the part that would produce major female reproductive organs). The gonad is now a testis, and certain cells in it become the Leydig cells that produce testosterone, which causes the primordial Wolffian duct system of the embryo to develop the major male reproductive organs. If no MIS is produced, further development of the Müllerian duct structures occurs, and in the absence of testosterone the Wolffian ducts disappear, producing the normal female structures. Embryos lacking SRY or having mutated forms of it normally become females even if they are XY. This system of sex determination is called Y-dominant. It appears to be characteristic of almost all mammals, even marsupials, plus a few other forms. While SRY is the primary gene, many other genes, both autosomal and X-chromosomal, are involved in the course of developing the two sexes in mammals.


What this tells you is that without intruteral testosterone even XY embryos revert to being female when as yo say they should be male by default. So XX XY doesn't set the gender in stone and testosterone levels ultimately decide wether a boy is born or not.
 
.....anyone can copy and paste.....doesnt mean he knows jack sh*t!..(humble apologies if he happens to be a professor or something!)........im bored with it now! ;)
Hey, bit more respect for the man. He sells police approved safe's I'll have you know :LOL: :LOL:

Bottom line is, once a bandit, always a bandit ;)

Nowt wrong with that, so move on... :idea:
