Title: Is it possible that one’s gender is also biologically linked?
Post by: DrJekyllMrHyde48 on 05/03/2021 11:17:14
Hi! There are people who identify as e.g. bisexual, homosexual etc. Especially transgender people often claim that they felt like they were in the wrong body. I always thought that they feel that way because of internal, emotional reasons, however, could it be that it is also biologically linked? Is sex AND gender in our genes already set?

I'm also curious about this question and will follow this page to see the answer from the others.

For me, I'm a bisexual girl and I think my experience built me. I had a very good girl friend in my childhood and we played a "hug and kiss game". Children usually don't judge and they accept anything they think is fun. I thought hugging and kissing a girl who I liked is fun. Now I still accept doing this.

However, it may also because my genes let me think "hugging and kissing a girl" is fun. In my opinion, there can be genes related to our emotion because emotion is based on neuron as well. If there are genes related to "acceptance" "human-loving" and so on, the combination could provide the possibility for people to be LGBT, given the environment to let them get in touch with the existence.

Yes, it's all in their genes, so you cannot belittle them.
