Scholars find no evidence of "being born" gay or transgender

Ah yes, the high impact factor journal of developmental biology, (((The New Atlantis)))

No one cares.

>implying most of us don't already know that

So because it doesn't agree with you, it's "fake news"?

>>7849950
I put Jew echoes around the journal, your argument is invalid.

>>7849950
No reading this completely cured me!!

What do you expect btw? That someone is going to read this and be like "lol it was in my head the whole time" and just stop? Be real.

Paul McHugh is a meme scientist who allowed his own personal beliefs to cloud his work. No one but people with an agenda consider him a reliable source on information on sexuality/gender. P.s.: lack of evidence for a thing doesn't mean the opposite of it is true, just that we don't know.

I don't know. I just know in 1st grade a cute blond boy would sort of bully me and I would get a hard on.

>the concept of sexual orientation itself is highly ambiguous; it can refer to a set of behaviors, to feelings of attraction, or to a sense of identity
it means I like dicks
>Epidemiological studies show a rather modest association between genetic factors and sexual attractions or behaviors, but do not provide significant evidence pointing to particular genes
so there is evidence, we just don't fully understand the cause?
>here is also evidence for other hypothesized biological causes of homosexual behaviors, attractions, or identity — such as the influence of hormones on prenatal development — but that evidence, too, is limited
right, thanks for cleaing up that there is evidence, but we're not 100% on the cause
>One environmental factor that appears to be correlated with non-heterosexuality is childhood sexual abuse victimization
this is incredibly inflammatory and also offers no more causal evidence than the evidence you just discredited in the previous two points

duh
homosexuality occurs from various external factors such as the environment you're raised in and what your parents beliefs are

>>7849924
Of course nobody is born with a sexuality or gender identity, children are retarded. You're shaped throughout life by a billion different factors outside of your control. Anyone can become gay by being molested by their uncle, and anyone can be tricked by jews into developing gender dysphoria. If you get a mental illness along the way, you just have to treat it. It doesn't matter where it came from.

>>7849924
EVEN IF I'M NOT BORN WITH IT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S ANY WAY I CAN CHANGE IT SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER??
i honestly think people only pushed the 'born this way' meme so straighties would shut the fuck up about people being ""converted"" to gayness or whatever.

The New Atlantis... is a quarterly journal about the social, ethical, political, and policy dimensions of modern science and technology. The journal is published in Washington, D.C. by the social conservative advocacy group the Ethics and Public Policy Center...

The Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) is a conservative Washington, D.C.-based think tank and advocacy group. Founded in 1976, the group describes itself as "dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy".

Dr. Paul Rodney McHugh is an American psychiatrist, researcher, and educator. He is University Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine... His stance on sexuality, gender, and medical treatment for transgender individuals have been controversial... McHugh considers homosexuality to be an “erroneous desire". He co-authored a criticism of medical treatment for transgender youth published by the American College of Pediatricians.

The American College of Pediatricians [Note: NOT the American Academy of Pediatrics!] is an advocacy group of pediatricians and other healthcare professionals in the United States... The organization's view on parenting is at odds with the position of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which holds that sexual orientation has no correlation with the ability to be a good parent and to raise healthy and well-adjusted children. The American College of Pediatricians has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a "hate group", with "a history of propagating damaging falsehoods about LGBT people.

>They note that the report, "Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological and Psychological and Social Sciences," was >"not published in the scientific literature, where it would have been subject to rigorous peer review prior to publication. >It purports to detail the science of this area, but it falls short of being a comprehensive review."

Anything with paul mchugh tends to be horse shit.

>>7849950
No, it's because we know who Paul McHugh is. He's been releasing biased reports against homosexuality since the 70s. If all he did were suggest that it was a choice then I wouldn't care, but he constantly cites Catholicism as a basis for his beliefs. I'm sure that many of the things he says are true, but he shows a very clear bias.

>>7849924
It's not a peer reviewed journal, it's bogus rag with no peer review that tried to hide its legitimacy

reminder to everyone that the op is the infamous ban dodging LGBP pedophile

He's proudly admitted to his evasion and pedophilia advocacy and only started to damage control and make it seem like it was a joke after everyone retched at his ilegal shit.


Sage, report, don't reward him with talk unless if it's to marshal a ban against his pedophile ass.
