Why am I LGBT?

Something to do with the brain and when we were in our mother's wombs. Read that on a science website.

 

I think it def has majorly to do with genetic makeup, but I would also say environment has something even if slight, to do with being LGBT.

 

My guess is that I'm asexual because some part of my brain that would normally activate to generate a sexual response simply doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure it's neurological, not hormonal, because I look plenty feminine and have regular periods.

Hmm, maybe I don't have receptors for some sex hormone in my brain?

 

I'm fairly certain it has a lot to do with brain chemistry and neurology.

 

Personally, I'm just full of too much awesomeness NOT to be a lesbian.

Okay..so really I don't know. I definitely thing brain chemistry as well as genetics plays a part in it.

 

I'm gay because of the liberal media :lol:

But seriously, I'm pretty sure it's something to do with genes or hormones or something scientific. I definitely wasn't brought up in an environment that could have lead me to being gay so I'm pretty sure it's nature rather than nurture.

 

I think there is a theory going around that involves epigenetics (based on my understanding, it's the interpretation of DNA rather than about what's in the DNA itself; National Geographic had an interesting article on epigenetics and how it works in their January 2012 issue).

 

Too much testosterone in a heterosexual girl just makes her horny for guys. As far as I know, sexuality is caused by epigenetics, which has to do with gene expression. I don't know much more than that though.

As for transgendered people, that is thought to be caused by (in XX fetuses) too much testosterone at the 6-8 week phase of pregnancy, and too much Oestrogen in XY fetuses.
