SMH, I guess anything passes for research.

If you're a guy with an older brother, there's an increased chance you're ? .
Scientists have noticed this pattern in previous research, but now they think they have a biological explanation as to why, and it starts long before birth. The results were published in the journal PNAS on Monday.
The researchers say that if their findings can be replicated, we may know at least one of the biological reasons some men are ? .
Many factors may determine someone's sexual orientation, but in this case, researchers noticed a pattern that may be linked to something that happens in the ? . The phenomenon is related to a protein linked to the Y chromosome (which women do not have) that is important to male brain development.
Researchers think it's possible that when a woman gets pregnant with her first boy, this Y-linked protein gets into her bloodstream. The mother's body recognizes the protein as a foreign substance, and her immune system responds, creating antibodies. If enough of these antibodies build up in the woman's body and she gets pregnant with another a boy, they can cross the placental barrier and enter the brain of the second male fetus...
"That may alter the functions in the brain, changing the direction of how the male fetus may later develop their sense of attraction," said study author Anthony Bogaert, a Canadian psychologist and professor in the departments of psychology and community health sciences at Brock University.
Earlier research has shown that the more older brothers a boy has, the more of a chance that boy will be attracted to men. A 2006 study showed that with each brother, the chance that a man will be ? goes up by about a third, but the researchers didn't determine why that was.

This is ? who paid for this

Bad science. Deriving causation before even drawing a strong correlation.
The paid for agenda is to find definite biological link to homosexuality.
The glaring oversight are lesbians especially butch ? -
Y’all are angry as if they are saying y’all ? is ? because y’all got brothers.
Relax.

LOL at the IC “scientists” telling an actual scientist what they’re doing is wrong. Where are YOUR peer reviewed papers? Post them up.
And double LOL at the panicked younger brothers posting.
But what do I know? I’m the first born. My fate always rested deep in the ? . -

And then other scientists said they were wrong and backed that ? up with evidence. That’s how science works.
If you don’t believe in the scientific method then you can’t say ? when racists pull out eugenics “facts” to put brown people down.
She could be wrong...but my point was that none of you have the credentials or the evidence to say the researchers were wrong. That’s what I thought was funny. -
