I am ALWAYS talking about it here, Mrs. Don-O. And I do believe when the scientists find all the soft bodied animals with reproductive problems near industrially polluted bodies or water, that these things affect us in these ways too. We are just as “soft bodied” as a frog.
We don’t know squat about how harmful the chemicals with toss about with impunity are. People don’t even understand that what they put on their skin goes into their bloodstream, or no one would ever wear commercial lotions or prescription creams or any makeup or hair product. And the plastics everywhere, in our foods, in our water. SOMETHING is messing up these innocent children. Clearly they have this issue. And it must be painful because even the liberal treatment called “living as the other gender,” often without any surgeries, only works 50% of the time. They look all wrong usually, and they still aren’t happy. Very high suicide rates.
We need to treat this as a serious disorder and help find how it happens. It’s not cool or a new normal, except that if you have it, it is your normal, and I sure don’t want to put down anyone with schizophrenia, transgender, or bipolar. It’s not their fault. But it isn’t cool.
I agree. The inmates are truly running the asylum.
Mushroom people, stickmen, even...moleman!
Sane parents understand that three-year-olds don’t have an adult understanding of...well, a lot of things, let alone gender identity, theirs or others’. And then there are these folks.
I did.
Genes don’t cause every disorder or illness. When a baby is being formed, the conditions in the uterus definitely have an effect on development. Almost as much as the genes do. The study of epigenetics is all over this. The most easy to see and famous of the classic epigenetics studies is the one with the ponies and the horses. Pony embryos were implanted into the uteri of horses. The resulting ponies, 100% genetic ponies, were significantly LARGER than ponies.
So Darwin was correct but so was the much maligned Lamarck.
A lot of these gender or sexuality problems seem to stem from changes in the uterus. One study shows that homosexual men tend to have had older genetic brothers. Sometimes multiple. If someone has a few sons, the later ones would tend to be the gay ones.
The information was recently updated. The complete Chapter 5 is at the link.
Once again, this is not “chemical” anything.
This is a case of idiotic parents.
But hey, we are all free to be transracial, transexual, transpecies, and apparently transcomestible too.
We agree — this was dead WRONG of these parents. Three is too young to know squat. Just support him and love him and live life.
I love you. I never say it as well as you do.
The Day huh? I doubt mommie dearest knows DAY from NIGHT,,,much less up from down..
I am so out of ANY level of tolerance for these sick bastards who project their own needs on their kids...thus likely ruining them for life!
Agreed, it is too soon at age 3 to know if this child has an identity disorder, and they should just love and support him.
I have to laugh at all the posts noticing the start of the article was the other child in the family saying “I’m a burrito!” Transcomestible indeed! I wonder if starting the article that way was the writer’s way of getting his or her opinion slyly into the piece!
I’d like to be a chocolate covered strawberry actually.
Reminded me of the Invader Zim episode “chicken foot”.
Omg, my kids are HUGE invader zim fans. Seriously. I have never watched any episodes, but they once made me watch the Jolly Boots of Doom.
MY GENES MADE ME DO IT ! - Chapter 7. Pre-natal hormones? Stress? Immune attack?
Although there are some pre-natal hormonal effects on sexual behaviour for lower animals, there is not con vincing evidence for such an effect on sexual orientation in humans. The studies examining the effects of high doses of female hormones to pregnant women are particularly informative because these are very high doses and any hormonal effects on sexual orientation should show up clearly. But the result is a dubious effect on women and no effects on men. Any effects on sexual orientation appear to be better explained in terms of gender non-conformity—a psychological construct. Sex hormones do increase or lower sex drive, but that appears to be about all.
The maternal immune hypothesis seems very speculative, and needs much more evidence before it is taken more seriously. We leave the last word to several researchers in the field. James summarises the evidence for effects of prenatal hormone exposure on subsequent sexual orientation as “weak”.
In summary, the evidence from prenatal endocrine disorders and from the offspring of hormone-treated pregnancies suggests that hormones may contribute to, but do not actually determine, the course of sexual orientation in individuals with an abnormal sex steroid history during prenatal life.
“At this time, the literature does not support a causal link between hormones and homosexuality.”
Also, “In clinical practice numerous patients are encountered with gross abnormalities of their hormonal profiles. As a rule this does not impact on their gender identity or sexual orientation.”
The parents are idiots.
The end of the chicken foot episode, the microwave shortsvout and the guy in the taco outfit goes “yay, I’m a taco.”
