What's up, everyone? I'm a straight white guy, the

My understanding of it is not that they are "bathed" with higher levels of certain hormones, but rather, genes that control androgen sensitivity causes their body in the womb to be "exposed" to hormones differently. How identical, genetically, are identical twins? I legitimately do not know the answer.

Well you sure picked a sheer bounty of accurate information and knowledge coming here.

Well, we come from the same single egg and sperm until the division occurs, afterward as cells multiply variations end up occurring. So on a genetic level, while we're a lot more similar than non-twin siblings, it's not perfect mirror, if that makes sense.

Psh. 4chan is full of qualified experts.

Your sister acted as a human shield for you, she absorbed the brunt of hormone bathes so that you could go on to be straight cis male. Go give her a hug.

When you split from your tranny sister determines whether you shared the same hormone baths (shared circulatory system and amniotic fluid or not are factors). "Identical" twins and triplets don't turn out identical anyway.

I'll be honest with you: I have no clue what makes people who they are. I am gay myself. Do I know why I'm gay? No. Am I okay with that? Yes. I don't care a whit about the causes of my sexual orientation. I like who I am and that's all that matters to me. I think people deserve to be treated with dignity no matter who they are, even if the reason for their existence turns out to be something supposedly negative or abnormal. I don't believe in trying to change anyone, even if what they are happens to be regarded as a defect by some, unless they genuinely want to change themselves.

That's all.

Kill it and pretend to be both you and trans him. This will be tough I know but you'll finally understand what it is like to be a tranny then you can come to terms with sharing a womb with a lady stuck in a mans body.

Omg what if it fucked you in the womb!?

This is what I personally believe (as a white cis gay male). The hormones and genetics are basically just a predisposition to certain behaviour and wants etc. Your experiences build your sexuality and personality off of those dispositions. This isn't to say it's a choice. It's not, and it's not reversable without essentially destroying the person's soul. It just is more complicated than a gene or hormone.

You must also keep in mind that it is a matter of probability, as studies show, only 60% of cases where both twins were homosexual, which still leaves a 40% chance of you two being of completely different orientations, and we must also account for epigenetics, as they also play a factor, I'm assuming that not everything happened exactly the same for you and your sibling, and, tumblr memes aside, human sexuality can be influenced by outside factors, especially during childhood, although we haven't figured out what affects it, besides the obvious (i.e. teach a young girl to hate men and think lesbians are good and pure, and she'll probably be a dyke), sorry for the lengthy.
