Vivek Ramaswamy repeats the leftist lie that homosexuality is 'hardwired' from birth

From 1967, at age three, I grew up with a dear (male) childhood friend, Kerry, who was hilarious and extremely intelligent but always had a “soft edge” to him, like a sister in a boy’s body. After high school, he came back to visit from his first semester at the prestigious Acting Academy and admitted what I had long suspected. No matter, I loved him just the same as a big brother from a lady who was like my second mom. As we grew older (1980’s), we talked more about his homosexuality and he said “Billy, I wouldn’t wish this on anybody! I can’t tell my parents, or most friends, and certainly not my (3) brothers. I can’t hide it in Hollywood because they can see through it, and accept it, but they won’t hire me because I’m now a ‘type’ as soon as I audition.” He firmly believed he was hard wired that way, and I accepted that because I damn well was/am a hard wired flaming heterosexual womanizer. Sadly, my friend Kerry had the sad infamy of being one of the first dozen citizens to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and later died in 1990. I’ve since learned to believe that any perversion can be acquired as sin, evil, and madness can result and manifest in literally any abhorrent act. However, when I see these very few conservative out-of-the-closet gay pundits on TV, I see my friend Kerry, and hold a lot of empathy and compassion for their “wiring”.

He is young and inexperienced. Our hormonal production capability is genetically determined, however, it can be altered. Sexual attraction is to a large extent determined by hormonal levels, but as a responsible person we must be in control of our “urges”.

Maybe he had an encounter at a young age with Uncle Pervie.

I dont think so. See...at that age, 4-8yrs, way before puberty...there is no conscious self awareness as far as...you know....why boys have a dingaling and girls have a gadget. That was what my parents told us those things were. At that age the only purpose that those organs serve is to pee with. Trevor was born the way that I explained. Being sexually abused as a child causes the victim to be withdrawn and afraid....not to behave like the opposite sex would do normally. With all the unknown complexities of brain development and genetics, chromosomes, babies born with the known physical defect of having both sex organs. Hermaphrodite phenomena is known to occur in both humans and animals. I dont understand why people have such a phobia about that stuff...and its nothing new. Heres an interesting article about the subject in the medieval times:

Medieval canon law on hermaphrodites

Still...its wrong to have a genetic male compete in womens sports. Some day maybe there will be a NTL...National Trans League of sports ahtletes?
