Isn't the whole thing about gay people talking about it not being a choice but being part of their biology to be gay?
That it is inborn? That it is NOT merely a decision on their part to be gay?

Their biological controls (hormone set, brain design, etc.) cause them to be attracted to the same physical sex.
That's biology determining identity.
They grew up knowing they were different from the other boys or the other girls.

But even in gay people there are Masculine components & Feminine components.
In 2 women or 2 men, there is something masculine in one being drawn to something feminine in the other one.
There's a mental sexuality too. Or if you wanna get all supernatural a spiritual sexuality too.

It's the YinYang symbol. There's a little boy in every girl & a little girl in every boy.
With gay people/bi people/trans people it's just a little more pronounced.

If you biology determines that you grow up tall—6' 5" tall where you look over everybody's heads, you will see & approach the world differently...
...than another person whose biology determined him/her to grow 5' 3" where he/she has to struggle to look above the crowd.

Female physiology is different than male physiology & that alone makes women & men see the world in different ways.
Introverted temperaments are different than extroverted temperaments & that makes the two type of people see the world in different ways.
Your temperament is determined by your brain wiring/hormone configurations.

Yes I'll say it again & I'll say it with CERTAINTY.
Biology determines identity.
And from identity cultures form & politics form.

I also know that Erykah Badu song that says "The man who knows some things knows that he knows nothing at all".
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singers.
There is much I do not know but this ain't one of 'em.
Truth is not owned by anybody & I am merely one of many conduits to deliver truth.

Truth is Independent of the Speaker.

Test my statement out in your daily life & see if it's true.

A person that you know who loves cold weather vs. a person you know who loves warm weather.
A person who's allergic to pollen vs. a person who is not allergic.
A person who's wider & fatter vs. a person who's thinner & slimmer.
A person who's very tall vs. a person who's very short.
A person who's busty vs. a person who's flat-chested.
A Black person in the sun vs. a White person in the sun.
A person who never seems to get sick or hurt vs. a person who suffers from many ailments & injuries.
A boisterous person vs. a reserved person.

Just check through as many types of people you can & think about how their biological build & design shaped the way they interact with the world.
John Lucas

P.S.: When I start that new thread, I'll re-example my Extinction Level Event scenario. I really believe this is how so many cultures formed the way they did in regards to gender roles.
