- mad44 17y agoWhat do you mean unbiased? He took the position that this is a genetic inborn condition. He just said that in effect "it turns out this is an inborn condition", without giving citing scientific research. (Well, I skimmed the article, and this is what I got. Maybe I missed a critical paragraph.)
- sorbits 17y agoI think you missed more than just a paragraph as at least two of them made it clear that the writer is a ‘she’ :p Edit: My bad, as a reply points out, he speaks of having sex with a woman not making him a heterosexual (and the second reference to the female chimp just said “wrong sex”).
- ugh 17y agoYeah, if you are a very sloppy reader :) (http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofHistoryandAnthropology/Staff/AcademicStaff/DrJesseBering/ http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofHistoryandAnthropology/...)
- prodigal_erik 17y ago> After all, the fact that I could, in principle, have sex with a woman—if I were plied with enough alcohol and she were tomboyish enough to create a suitable gender-modifying illusion—doesn’t exactly make me a heterosexual. These are the words of a gay man.
