The Collected Writings of Sardonicus

On the topic of homosexuality being "genetic." Biology is perhaps an explanation why some people are MORE LIKELY to be a certain way and prefer certain things, but I don't think it's the most important consideration. For whatever reason, in my genetics, I may- out of chance- be more impressionable when it comes to certain types of sexual impulses than others, but it's stupid to say my preference is 100% biological. I may be more receptive to homosexuality than the average male, I might not. There's always degrees of variation in anything, and genetics is no different. Perhaps there's some guy out there who is wired in some way biologically to be more receptive to finding homosexuality or cross-dressing attractive. But that doesn't come CLOSE to explaining WHY he will if he does. Is it possibly ONE reason. Eh, maybe, but probably not one anyone will take seriously on an academic level. There has to be other reasons too.

I mean, I like long dark hair on girls, slim, but still curvy. A lot of that was conditioned, and I think if I was born in Renaissance Italy, I have liked the more full-figured lady. I like it when a girl wears glasses, because in my past I have liked how glasses look on certain girls, or liked certain girls that happened to wear glasses, and now I just project those qualities onto other people who wear glasses.

The type of clothes I wear, the way I talk, the way I walk, the way I WANT to be... I'm emulating people that I respect or admire in a certain way. Why do I choose the people I want to emulate in actions and behavior? Possibly some of it is genetic, the rest is experience.

So when a man in front of me says that he is really a woman born in a man's body... eh, I'm not so sure. I really believe that if was born with the same exact psychological wiring that I have now, but was born inside a female body, I would now figure I'm a girl and probably find the prospect of being penetrated by a pen1s relatively more exciting.

At the end of the day, trying to blame your sexual preference on biological factors is stupid. You don't need to explain yourself to everyone for doing something you are perfectly free to do in our society.
