Little Hawk, Amos and I most certainly do get the point, and part of that point is that Ake is dodging the issue. We have said that, to a degree, the science is not complete, but so far, there are indications 1) that there may be a genetic component in determining gender orientation; and/or, 2) there are occasionally imbalances in the infusion of hormones at a crucial time in the development of the fetus which determines gender orientation. And that this orientation often manifests itself at an early age, long before puberty and long before a child knows anything about sex at all.

There are case studies up the ziggy on this. And both Ake and GfS are studiously avoiding this evidence and making the flat statement that gender orientation is a matter of conscious, well-considered, and deliberate choice.

Phooey!!!

If you're going to commment, try reading a bit more carefully first.
