What, do you believe, is the cause of homosexuality?
Does anyone in here have a study they read that changed their mind on what the cause is? I've been reading so much, but it's so contradictory.
I read a book (forget the title, but can look it up) that found a statistically significant number of trans women become more attracted to men after starting HRT, so it stands to reason hormone imbalance may be at play.
Of course good luck ever getting funding again if you publish anything that considers the possibility homosexuality is aberrant behavior.

Wow, that's interesting. I remember the Nazis thought a lack of testosterone/abundance of estrogen was the cause of homosexuality in men too.
>At Buchenwald, Nazi doctor Carl Værnet conducted hormonal experiments on twelve gay men. He made incisions in their groin and implanted a metal tube that released testosterone over a prolonged period, as he believed that a lack of testorone was the cause of homosexuality. Although some of the men claimed to have become heterosexual, the results are largely unreliable as many are assumed to have stated they were "cured" in order to be released from the camp.

It's really unfortunate the results aren't really trustworthy... Such an unethical study could NEVER happen today.
Probably a number of factors.
Like >>6714131 said, hormones are very likely to be a major cause.
Genes and environment might also be a factor (ex. a combination of genes predispose someone to becoming gay/bi/trans).
homosexuals are eventually a biological dead end
