Hmmmm… It's a weird article to read. It's scientific, but it seems illogical.

It's pretty much stating being lesbian is a chemical thing.

It's almost like the same flaw of thinking depression can only be a chemical thing.

Sure there's neurotransmitters telling our brain cells to release chemicals so we "feel" things a certain way. But I've always grasped what we feel as being a cause and effect of our environments. And not just that, look at the way different societies are structured around the world. Each society reinforces specific behaviors in a person. And also specific habits, such as… lets take wearing shoes in a house as a really random example.

Anyway what I'm getting at, is the presumption is that all lesbians are the side affect of a chemical deficiency of a sort (well in this article I mean). Where the flaw in that is perhaps… I mean sure you could say that… but there's a high probability that given the element of choice, and the high rate of population in the world, that statistically someone is just seriously going to be attracted to the same sex. It's like statistically a highly densely populated area is going to have crime in it, and you can't solely blame crime on funky chemicals, it's due to boredom, poverty… etc…

And taking in perspective society… It's pretty much invented. Someone decided "hey women and men should get married". And then someone decided, "the women should wear a white dress, and the men should wear suits". And so down the line everyone kept making decisions that for some odd reason caught on (advertising *cough cough*) and then eventually it became taboo not to just do as everyone had already decided.

Hey maybe I've been listening to Otep a bit to much :P who knows, but the logic behind the article just seems a bit faulty.

It was interesting. But I've never met anyone that could point out I'm lesbian. I dress like a fairly feminine chick (it's the whole mentality of, everyone does it so hey… just go with the flow… weeeee…). Just my sneakers and short nails that give me away :P must be those pesky chemicals brain washing me…damn chemicals…

But that's just my random rambling on the subject…

 

I like this.. a lot.

I dont really have anything else to add *shrugs*
