Okay, some common sense, here.

Starting in the 1960s, with experiments duplicated in the 1980s, scientists established that *psychologically*, gender is determined about halfway through fetal gestation.

That is, by default, the brains of mammal fetuses are female. But halfway through gestation, the testes of a male fetus secrete a small amount of testosterone that travels to their brain and tells it that it is a male brain. If that testosterone does not arrive, it remains a female brain.

Importantly, brain gender is enough in *animals* to determine sexual behavior. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO DO SO IN HUMANS.

If a female fetus gets that testosterone, the child will be physically female, but will behave like a “tomboy”, enjoying masculine behavior. BUT IT WILL NOT DETERMINE HER SEXUALITY. She may be a tomboy, but it is just as likely that she it heterosexual and attracted to boys, as it is with ordinary girls.

And the same is true with boys. If something interferes with or inhibits the testosterone going to their brains, they will exhibit female child interests. They will want to play with dolls, dress in a feminine fashion, and do other things that girls like to do.

BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WILL NOT BECOME HOMOSEXUALS.

Statistically, they are just as likely to be heterosexuals as are all boys as a whole.

Importantly, most homosexuality and heterosexuality does not begin in childhood, but adolescence, so completely different biological mechanisms are involved.

Boys act like boys, and girls like girls, so most people *assume* that this behavior determines their sexual attraction. But this is NOT the case.

Homosexuals of both genders divide into camps, the “pink (feminine) and blue (masculine)”, and among men, there might be an even divide between feminine and masculine (even excessively masculine) homosexuals.

That is, male oriented gay bars are almost evenly divided between those with feminine orientation, and those that look like “blue collar” bars, filled with working men in construction, police and fire departments, bikers, etc. Somewhat “hyper-masculine” in behavior.

So, the bottom line is that juvenile gender behavior is NOT a good indicator of sexuality. This boy who wants to wear dresses will likely grow up to be a normal heterosexual.

Not if these parents and others encourage it to the point where they won’t allow him to start acting like a boy. There was a lesbian couple who have their 9 year old boy on sex-change hormones.

Pure child abuse
