Are you homophobic / transphobic

I’d be interested in seeing the science behind this certainty.

Funny enough some research suggests that while gay men may not reproduce themselves directly(though many do, especially in years gone by where they had to "pass" and suffered through straight marriages), sisters of gay men are for some reason more likely to have slightly more kids. So the familial line gets a boost. Never mind that "evolution" is more complex than that. With social animals like ourselves it's often as much about the group and wider family as it is directly reproducing.

Never really had the anti gay thing TBH. And don't understand it either. I don't care what consenting adults get up to or who they fall in love with. I clearly remember having a thought experiment prompted by my dad when I was in my mid teens imagining a world where being straight was the minority state and not accepted by the society as normal, even to the point of physical threat. How would I survive in such a society? I truly couldn't imagine trying to "pass" for that normal. I'd likely head off to a monastery. I have a lot of sympathy for gay folks, especially back when I was growing up in the 80's, it's much better these days.

Transexuals? I knew one guy who became a gal many moons ago. The last time we met they seemed content in themselves, though they seemed content in themselves when they were a guy, so who knows folk's inner world. I do have serious misgivings on the matter of hormonal treatment for children, but otherwise and again like above whatever consenting adults want to do then fire away.
