well I would normally tend to agree. But when he says he's 6 years old and just knew he was different and couldn't figure it out until he was about 10, I'm not so sure.

and knowing his friends and family, it's virtually impossible for him to learn this behaviour. His parents are high ranking ex-military, all-American, living in small-town USA. Not at all San Francisco or NYC elitist pinko types.

"well I would normally tend to agree. But when he says he's 6 years old and just knew he was different and couldn't figure it out until he was about 10, I'm not so sure. "

There are counselors out there who specialize in this. Has he sought out any of those?

I also think it's learned behavior. I suspect something happened by the time he was 10, that caused him to associate sexual feelings with males. It may have even happened before he was 6 but I suspect the choices he made as an adolescent reinforced those desire patterns.
