  1.  @amint7107  Keep on feeling and you'll be higher than Jack and the Beanstalk.

  2.  @stopcensorship7705  You have no clue what you're talking about. An individual's height is not a function of species inheritance. Where do you get this stuff from?

  3.  @stopcensorship7705  There's another avenue of evidence we haven't discussed yet: "In non-human vertebrate species, sexual differentiation of the brain is primarily driven by androgens such as testosterone organizing the brains of males in a masculine fashion early in life, while the lower levels of androgen in developing females organizes their brains in a feminine fashion. These principles may be relevant to development of sexual orientation in humans, because retrospective markers of prenatal androgen exposure, namely digit ratios and otoacoustic emissions, indicate that lesbians, on average, were exposed to greater prenatal androgen than were straight women. Thus the even greater levels of prenatal androgen exposure experienced by fetal males may explain why the vast majority of them grow up to be attracted to women. However, the same markers indicate no differences between gay and straight men in terms of average prenatal androgen exposure, so the variance in orientation in men cannot be accounted for by variance in prenatal androgen exposure, but may be due to variance in response to prenatal androgens." I am unaware of extensive testing and research in this area as of now. However , the fraternal birth order hypothesis suggests a prenatal influence. In your opinion, which of the below would best characterize the scientific conclusion to be reached by the above? 1) The prenatal hypothesis has been conclusively disproven. 2) The prenatal hypothesis is unsettled at this time. Therefore, we should remain agnostic.

  4.  @WarriorV8  "it’s a form of addiction caused by many factors growing up" And potentially hormones too. The science has yet to be settled in any definitive manner, in case you are unaware. I believe right and wrong is primarily a function of our hard-wiring. Cross cultural surveys suggest this. But the further you get from basics, the more room there is for cultural variation. No one has yet produced a proof that gay is an addiction, or wrong, or a lack of discipline. But we are all free to have our beliefs. As a gay man, no one is going to tell me what my thought processes are. That's pure guesswork.

  5. There's no proof of a single height gene either. So I think I chose to be tall.
