Finger length ratio (2D:4D) and dimensions of sexual orientation.
is supposed to convince us that homosexuality is somehow NOT deviant and has a purpose? |
interesting article you pick on in your refutation. this article discusses the idea that maternal hormones affect intrauterine development. these hormones have an effect on growth of the body (such as finger length) and on the brain (such as sexual orientation). theoretical, but good science, as it is easily testable and reproducable.
there are a few articles about this and similar ideas. they discuss homosexuality as a phenomena and present evidence for it as an inherent, unchangeable fixed part of the individual. you could not expect someone to change their sexual orientation any more than you could expect them to shrink their fourth finger.
also, it is not discussed in any of these articles as a problem. it is not presented as an abnormality or a condition, just as a phenomena that happens in some people (in large families, it tends to happen in later pregnancies, as the maternal hormone levels are higher in later pregnancies) the researchers do not regard it as something that needs intervention, treatment, prevention or anything other than understanding.
the evolution articles expand on the benefits of this phenomena to the individual and their family.
You are just the kind of gullible goon every car salesman hopes will wander on to his lot.
yes, perhaps i should stick to reading propaganda from Focus on the Family, then i would be better informed, right ?
