Glad to hear that you have sought out you thoughts and made up
your mind also. Happy for you too.. =)
Well, I attended this lecture in my uni, and the things that are
mentioned is kind of thought provoking and made me change my
perception about gays and lesbians.
Just a note. The following is somehow related to biology, so it
will contain some words which people may find insulting. My
apologies before I continue.
Ever wonder why males have nipples?? I mean those are used to feed
infants for girls, but useless for guys... Yet the forming of our
body parts is complex, why would then nipples be form since it is
useless?? This is the part which will shocked a lot of people. It
is believed by some medical and some psychological experts like my
lecturer that ALL humans are initially FEMALES at the point of
conception. that's why doctors cannot check whether a baby is a
male or female until it is at least few months old in the womb. I'm
sure you have heard of it.
It is during first 6 weeks after conception that actually molds the
sex of the child. Whether testostrone has hit the child or not will
then decides the gender of it. A male if testostrone produced by
the mother gets into contact with the child, if not it will be a
female. So what I'm also trying to imply here is that the penis and
the vagina are actually the same thing, just that whether the baby
is being hit by testostrone or not. Hence, just imagine the
complexity of changing from one gender to the other. The body
that's going be formed, all the muscle parts will change, the way
the brain will change.
It is in this process of changing which all the defects of body
will come in, esp for a guy. If you can recall, some yrs back, in
the news, a Filipino man gave birth to a baby, because he had a
male and female reproductive parts. The Brain which is the most
complicated of all body parts will create some errors too, as the
amount of testostrone that changes the brain will decide how much
the brain will be changed. If too little, the transistion will be
incomplete and MAY result in the person being a gay, or having a
female brain. or coz there are also things that are more trival
like a girl growing a lot of hair on the arms, the legs or the
underarm, but could be a reason why some girls are lesbians and
some girls and guys are bi-sexuals
There was this British who actually divorced with his wife and left
his 2 children because he felt that his thoughts are very feminine.
He went to an op and and married to his boss. He felt much better
and comfortable after that. This shows that testostrone has missed
out on the brain, it's a female brain that we will have.
In another instance, a set twin boys are being born. however, one
of them, when circumcized, the doctor accidentally burnt the penis,
and a decision was made by the parents to change the gender of the
child from a male to a female. When young the 'girl' was treated
like a girl, and did what girl should do. As yrs goes by, when she
reach puberty, however, her become more male,a nd was being teased
at by other guys in her class for being so manly. After know the
truth from her parents, she then went for an op to be changed back.
This meant that if your mind is developed to be a male socially, it
is hard for you to be a female, even when you're brought up to be
one.
Well, I believe you can read them up in some psychology text or
some psychology documentaries. this is only through all these
'live' stories I began to have a different perception about gays
and lesbians. Since they don't have the chance to choose, so does
it mean that it is their fault to be abnormal from us?? why must we
treat them as if they are some kind of funny people??
No doubt, with social conditions may make one to become a gay or
lesbian, like I have a friend whose female friend turned to girls
after she was being ditched by a guy. However, I do believe whether
we will accept to be loved by the same sex or not, has some
psychological factors. Do you think you will change your preference
from a guy to a girl if I were to put you in company of lesbians?
or will you shun away from them?? It's all the mind. For me, I
would say accepting the idea is socialogical, but taking action is
psychological and in-born.
