Within twenty years parents will be given a choice, not only on fetal health improvement by genetic insertion or removal.

They will also be offered a choice in sexual orientation, ask any parent of gay progeny how much would they pay to establish their brood's physical gender.

Even if this is true of hermaphroditic transexuals (intergender at birth), what makes a man who declares that he loves men and not women go pair up with a man who wants to be a woman and even gets breasts added to his body (or even go “all the way” in cosmetic surgery below the waist as well)?

Transsexualism and homosexuality are not the same thing.

The genetic difference may cause weaker testosterone signals

Note the word may, proving this is a premise, not actual proof.

But, if lack of testosterone is the problem, increasing testosterone should be a solution to the problem.

So there is a genetic connection, a gene not working as designed. I say this in the most well meaning way, but it will be interesting to see how the transgendered community runs with it, I wonder how many will want to seek a ‘cure’ for this genetic failure. I.e., will there be backlash for any who seek a remedy for the weakened testosterone signals? And will the gay community see this as a positive or negative, because we already see a backlash among those who wish to change orientation to straight.

If genes determined all our behavior, we would be wild animals. Doesn’t anyone believe in a conscience any more? That alone is what sets us apart from beasts. Why do the alternative lifestyle crowd keep repeating these sick lies?

This sounds exactly like those studies that were done years ago (and sometimes still are) trying to argue that homosexuality was genetic.

First of all, why is this always phrased as either “genetic” or “choice”? It could be psychological.

I recently read an article (in NARTH’s magazine) that stated that often transgendered people are not satisfied even after sex-change operations because ulimately the issue is psychological, not biological.

You have to ask why these various studies on sexuality are always focused exclusively on biological factors and not psychological factors. To some degree, they are “fishing expeditions,” trying to find a specific result.

This study would need to be replicated with a larger group of people a number of times to be authentic. And while this genetic factor may be contributing, it doesn’t make it determinative.
