Johns Hopkins Research: No Evidence People Are Born ? or Transgender

Scholars at Johns Hopkins University released a new report on Monday which argues that there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that lesbian, ? , or transgender people are born with this sexual orientation or gender identity.

"The idea there that sexual orientation is fluid, that people change as people grow," Lawrence Mayer, a co-author of the report and a scholar-in-residence at Johns Hopkins University's psychiatry department, as well as a professor of statistics and biostatistics at Arizona State University, told The Christian Post. "There are probably some people that identify as hetrosexual [sic] that then later on identified as homosexual, so it goes both ways. The importance there is the fluidity and flexibility that these things change in time."

The three-part, 143-page report, which appeared in the Fall 2016 edition of The New Atlantis, also investigated other commonly accepted ideas about homosexuality and transgenderism. Mayer and his co-author Paul McHugh, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins, challenged the claim that discrimination and social stigma are the only reasons why homosexual and transgender people suffer higher rates of mental health problems and are more likely to commit suicide.

The study breaks down in three parts: First, Mayer and McHugh examined whether homosexuality is an inherited trait, and concluded that people are not simply "born that way." Second, they looked at the causes of the poor mental health associated with ? and transgender people, concluding that social stress does not explain all of it. Finally, they studied transgenderism, concluding that it is not innate and that transgender "treatments" are associated with negative outcomes.
The report found insufficient evidence to back up the idea that people are born with innate sexual attractions. Mayer and McHugh examined past studies which show a modest association between genetic factors and sexual orientation, but these studies have not been able to pinpoint particular genes responsible. Other hypothesized biological causes, such as prenatal development and hormones, have also been linked to sexual orientation, but that evidence is also limited.

"Studies of the brains of homosexuals and heterosexuals have found some differences, but have not demonstrated that these differences are inborn rather than the result of environmental factors that influenced both psychological and neurobiological traits," the report explained. "One environmental factor that appears to be correlated with non-heterosexuality is child sexual abuse victimization, which may also contribute to the higher rates."

The report cited the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, which tracked the sexual orientation of children aged 7 to 12 in 1994-1995 and again in 2007-2008. Eighty percent of male respondents who had reported same-sex attraction and both-sex attraction in childhood later identified as exclusively heterosexual, while more than half of the females who reported both-sex attraction as children reported exclusive attraction to men as adults.

Mayer and McHugh also analyzed twins. They pointed to a 2010 study by psychiatric epidemiologist Niklas Långström which analyzed 3,826 identical and fraternal same-sex twin pairs. Both twins had at least one same-sex partner in only 18 percent of male identical twins, and 11 percent of male fraternal twins. For women, both twins had at least one homosexual partner in 22 percent of identical twins and 17 percent of fraternal twins.
"Summarizing the studies of twins, we can say that there is no reliable scientific evidence that sexual orientation is determined by a person's genes," the researchers wrote. "But there is evidence that genes play a role in influencing sexual orientation."

"So the question 'Are ? people born that way?' requires clarification. There is virtually no evidence that anyone, ? or straight, is 'born that way' if it means that their sexual orientation was genetically determined," the report explained (emphasis added). "But there is some evidence from the twin studies that certain genetic profiles probably increase the likelihood the person later identifies as ? or engages in same-sex sexual behavior."

We are all born sinners! Get it right and repent! Ask ? for forgiveness! No one forces you to stick your privy parts into another person. You willfully choose to do it. Therefore turn from your wicked ways and repent! ? will forgive you and give you eternal life!

Amen.

    It's not obvious to the homosexual activists who are desperate in trying to find any way possible to justify homosexuality as being normal by saying homosexuals "were born that way". They do this because they believe that it will absolve them from any moral responsibility for their sexual behavior. Thus they are on a rampage to indoctrinate kids into their warped frame of mind.


    How sick do you have to be to harm kids with your disgusting behaviors of same sex relationships. It's reprehensible.

    Whatever the cause is for someone to want to have same sex relationships, being born that way isn't one of them. We are all born sinners. Prone to do evil and disobey ? at every opportunity we can. That is the root of the problem. SIN!

    They don't know if it's there or not. The studies of the past only found and I qoute "modest association between genetic factors and sexual orientation, but these studies have not been able to pinpoint particular genes responsible".


    The current study found no evidence for ? being born that way. Read the article.

    We are born sinners. And unless you repent, you too shall likewise perish. Amen.

    so you're neither born ? OR straight..

    but that last sentence, the twin study.. so maybe u virtually are "born ? ".. "certain genetic profiles probably increase the likelihood of homosexuality"

    at the end of the day, more studies need to continue, again, they haven't even gathered enough information, it's limited, like they said..

    nice to see u believe in science, though.. for once

    Been knew this, and many people do. The liberal media will never tread on this territory though. So they let conservatives do it, since theyre pretty immune to being called a bigot these days.

    Other articles have noted that being a lesbian seems more nurture than a ? man also. ? men also tend to stick to being ? way more than women stick to being lesbians, or were always lesbians.

    Its a combination of nature and nurture, and i argue its more nurture than nature in many cases. Im not anti ? or anti transgender, but you not gonna sit here and tell me youre all just born this way, get over it. Its genetics. They hate the implication that its not all natural to be a homosexual or transgender, because then that means that maybe one day we can "fix you".

    Transgenders is our current new leap of faith we're going through. They aint hurtin me. Im just saying it aint genetics. Maybe hormonal, mixed with some neural differences, coupled with environmental influence, or abuse as a child or teen, but a specific gene for this ? i doubt is likely to be found ever.

    Homosexuality Might Develop in the ? Due to Epigenetic Changes
    According to a newly released hypothesis, homosexuality might not lie in DNA itself. Instead, as an embryo develops, sex-related genes are turned on and off in response to fluctuating levels of hormones in the ? , produced by both mother and child. This benefits the unborn child, however if these epigenetic changes persist once the child is born, and has children of its own, some of these offspring may be homosexual.

    The scientists published their findings in the journal The Quarterly Review of Biology. Evolutionary geneticists propose that this is the reason why homosexuality didn’t fade away due to evolutionary pressure. Current research estimates that 8% of the population is ? , and it has been known that homosexuality can run in families. If one of a set of identical twins is ? , there’s a 20% chance that the other will be, too.

    Homosexuality isn’t just tied to the human species. There are many species exhibiting homosexual traits, including fish and birds, and geneticists have not been able to find a gene that is responsible for sexual orientation.

    Testosterone doesn’t explain everything. Female fetuses are exposed to small amounts of testosterone from their adrenal glands, the placenta and the mother’s endocrine system. At many key points of gestation, male and female fetuses are exposed to similar amounts of testosterone. Levels of the hormone can be higher than normal in females and lower than expected in males without any effects on genital or brain structures.

    The authors propose that the differences in sensitivity to sex hormones result in epigenetic changes, which don’t affect the structure of a gene, but can be activated by chemically altering a gene’s promoter region. Epigenetic changes could enhance or blunt testosterone’s activity as needed.

    Epigenetic changes involve alterations in the proteins that bind together long strands of DNA and can be handed down to offspring. The authors propose that homosexuality may be a carry-over from one’s parents’ own prenatal genes to resist excess testosterone, and this could alter the gene activation in areas of the child’s brain involved in sexual attraction and preference. This could explain why homosexuality persists throughout evolution, state the authors.

    Going from changes in gene expression to why someone is attracted to a person of the same sex is probably a question for which science may never find the answer, states Marlene Zuk, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

    If this is true....can what we ingest affect those specific genes?

    Are the genes you mentions similar to the ones mentioned in this report?

    How long has this been known?
