@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner It is entirely reasonable to be skeptical, especially given how complex, fluid, and overlapping human desire and behavior actually are. When a concept is presented as an absolute, unchangeable truth—yet everyday life shows people making complex choices about sex, status,
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner . The Language is Often ImpreciseIn everyday conversations, people use the phrase "being gay" to mean two completely different things at the same time:The physical act and lifestyle (which involves conscious decisions, social circles, and actions).
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner Liberals most of the time just purity test you and look for reasons to gossip about you and ruin your reputation becuase they cant stand you beliveing something else. Conservitives do it to but libs love labeling you and shaming you online.
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner I think some people are born gay but i also think people are heavily influenced by their enviornment. And also its better to say their is strong evidence or proof for something than saying its been proven.

When people feel that narrative is questioned, they sometimes react defensively to protect those social boundaries,rather than engaging with the messy, incomplete nature of the actual scientific data
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner The reason conversations on this topic often get shut down abruptly usually isn't about the strict data; it is often driven by a fear of the social implications. For decades, the "born this way" narrative was used as a crucial legal and social argument to protect people's
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner Why it's not "proven" the same way: You cannot take a photo of an attraction, nor can you look at a newborn baby's DNA or brain scan to "prove" they are gay. Because human behavior is an intersection of complex neural networks, genetics, and prenatal hormones,
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner prenatal hormonal environment, developmental processes, and non-shared environmental influences. Twin studies show moderate heritability (identical twins are more concordant than fraternal twins, but far from 100%). Large GWAS find many genetic variants of small effect, not a
@Vecna8087@AxiomaticSubaru@cultistdannny@God_Questioner No single biological marker—gene, hormone level, brain structure, or prenatal test—has been shown to determine sexual orientation with 100% certainty in every individual. Sexual orientation is a complex trait influenced by multiple factors: polygenic genetic contributions
