RE: So much for the argument that “you’re born that way and can’t be anything else”. It’s clearly a choice and a learned behavior pattern.
I’ve heard some left wing LGBT proponent argue on the other hand, that this was ALREADY the norm a long time back. It’s just that most societies did not know it was already prevalent because of suppression due to prejudice.
Not saying I agree, but you will hear this argument made today.
The problem is that there are no “neutral” cultures—either they oppose the perverts or they support them.
Humans react to incentives—whether monetary or social.
If the culture rewarded people for standing on their heads on Tuesdays then that would become a “thing”....
