I don't see why some people are so repulsed by the idea of curing gay people, even going to so far as using the government to ban any attempts at finding a cure. By definition homosexuality is a disorder which will disrupt peoples lives and prevent them from living typically. If a reliable cure could be found it would benefit a lot of people.

Christians are pretty much the only people saying this anymore. Everyone has fully condensed the person and the person's actions into a singular object, meaning that any criticism of action is a criticism of person, thus the response of "bigotry." The distinction of person and action is almost incomprehensible to them. Just trying to get them to acknowledge it is like banging your head against a brick wall.

Existentialism was a mistake. I don't understand how they reconcile the historical record of ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Persia and Turkey, the evidence from prisons and Saudi Arabia etc, with the belief that 'we were born this way and can't help it'.

I think this also may have something to do with the "destroy at all costs" politics that you see, where racists, etc. have to be hunted down and fired from their jobs, have their lives destroyed. The person and the action are one and the same thing, thus the person's identity, his being, is the "racist." He cannot be redeemed, he cannot be forgiven, because racism is what he is as a human.

According to the Merriam-Webster a disorder is something which "disturbs the order of" or which "disturbs the regular or normal functions of." Both are relevant. Homosexuality prevents a person from living a normal life and having children and the culture surrounding the homosexual lifestyle encourages risky behavior like drug use or anonymous sex.

Most of what this book is describing applies to bisexuals, not homosexuals. Bisexuals can be influenced by psychological and environmental factors that make them attracted to men, like an absent father figure or social isolation. True homosexuals cannot, as soon as they hit puberty they feel no attraction towards females. This book is best targeted to turn bisexuals into repressed exclusive heterosexuals. However, doing so is more detrimental to mental health than bisexuality itself. Bisexual individuals can exhibit neurotic behaviour but also increased creativity and compassion, and they will more often than not go on to marry a woman and have children later in life. A more important societal change, rather than forcing bisexuals to be heterosexual, would be to acknowledge the larger demographic of bisexuality and make people realise that sexuality is not a binary. Binary sexuality stigma forces some bisexual men into posing as entirely gay, which is just as harmful as posing as entirely straight. The L and G section of the LGBT community is partly at fault for this, for attempting to define themselves as a group and bring about faster gay rights action, they haven't acknowledged the B section of the group, despite this being the largest demographically. I have no doubt that entirely gay individuals exist, these tend to be the ones who find out at very young ages and show little/no interest in solo female straight porn (or solo male for lesbians), and they tend to act stereotypically or recognisably gay. Trying to change these people's sexuality is pointless, whether they're happy being gay or not.

The more people identify closely with their sexual expression, the harder it will be for someone like >>12355992 to talk them out of it. Every argument necessarily turns into a personal attack, and every person risks losing "themselves" when refuted.

This is the long shadow of the sexual revolution, and it has caused a lot of harm to a lot of (typically underprivileged) people who have come to realize that identifying themselves with an unhealthy, dangerous, and ultimately toxic sexuality has worsened their living situation rather than bettering it. They have discovered that the freedom to do anything has made them into slaves.

What the hell are you quoting individual or half sentences for? Try writing like you've been to high school. Society doesn't prevent gay couples from having children and raising them, it's a biological impossibility. You're not incapable of living a typical or normal life just because you make a decision not to. Gay people don't get to make that decision. They can't commit to somebody of the opposite sex the way they would if they were normal.

We do not live in a vacuum. Our actions affect others even when the impact is readily apparent. Drug use and risky sexual behavior impact society in many ways but visible cost is in terms of healthcare.

Evidence against: everything we know about different cultures. In Medieval Central Asia it was absolutely expected that while a rich powerful man would have wives to continue his line, his sexual and romantic activities would be directed towards boys. He would be laughed at if he fell in love with a woman, but writing love poetry and swooning over an attractive youth, and pounding boi-pussi was evidence he was a man of taste and distinction.

Yall need to learn about the concept of over-determination. I need to educate every last ignoramus populating this thread.
Sexuality exists on a spectrum and it develops through a combination of genes, the hormonal conditions in the mother's womb (epigenetics) and the culture and environment (which to the brain are all the same; impinging stimuli signals).
Some people get a double dose of the gay, some get only a little, some get none, depending on how all these factors stack up and interrelate.
Sexuality is also more plastic during puberty, the brain is still in a volatile developmental state, and depending on what kind of stimuli it receives you can develop bisexual traits.
The brain is also modular and depending on genetics and how hormonal or environmental factors impact gene expression and brain development some parts can develop in a manner sterotypical of various genders.

Gay men have parts of their brain more reminiscent of neurotypical straight women, but they also have hypermasculine traits as well. (Bigger dicks on average too.) It's not an even black or white generalization as you knuckle-draggers are so fixated on attributing.

Homosexuality should be treated as any other disorder. If you're dealing with a schizophrenic you might give them lithium or whatever which enables them to avoid some of the disruptive behavior that schizophrenics usually exhibit before any treatment. With homosexuality we could theoretically discover some of therapy or drug which enables them to live a normal and healthy life without any disordered inclinations.

I don't know where you're getting this bisexual stuff. I haven't said anything about it so maybe you're confusing me with somebody else? When I say gay men I'm talking about men who for whatever reason are attracted to other men to the point where it renders them incapable of living a normal life.

Most disorders aren't treated. People diagnosed tend to actively resist any cure or can't afford them even if they wanted it. The first issue is then to actually socialize medical care but the issue is for you it seems homosexuality isn't even recognized as a disorder today by the medical establishment.
Do you believe sexuality to be genetic? People choose to engage in homosexual acts, if you think they can also choose to stop and do the opposite and engage in heterosexual acts at any time then people must be bisexual by nature. If you're waiting for a medical "cure" to make people hyper heterosexual it will probably come as fast as a cure for cancer. Most people against homosexual acts see it as an issue of sin not primarily a medical issue.

>> No.12357893

If homosexuality is genetic, the best possible cure would probably be chemical or medicinal. If it's purely a choice, therapy is probably the best method of curing it. Either way this is beside the point because I'm arguing that people should be allowed to pursue a cure, in whatever form that may come. There are actually laws in some places which either ban conversion therapy or restrict it very heavily and I think people should be allowed to freely make the choice to engage in those things for whatever reason they choose. Universities and pharmaceutical companies should also be allowed to pursue chemical solutions.

I'm not saying that allowing anyone to freely claim and do whatever they want in the field of medicine without any medical establishment getting in their way is a good or bad idea but medicalizing and providing "cures" for all forms of what's considered criminal or abnormal behaviour seems more likely to just result in a lot of disappointment... and ya if it's "genetic" or "social" does matter because it's contentious and it's a lot cheaper to just change social understandings than find genetic cures which end up a gigantic waste of resources that could be put to better use.

Since when has sexuality not been a constantly moving spectrum?

Wasn't it Aristotle who said "In his youth he stole the men from their women and in his age the women from their men", it was Aristotle, Plato or Socrates I can't remember which one but it was in regards to a man of great power.

I believe there's a quote that goes something like "A man sees beauty in all people". Which explains the often bisexual relationships observed in early Hellas.

Alexander the Great supposedly had a gay childhood relationship with his best friend Hephaestion. And considering the extreme relationship between Alexander and his father maybe that would explain his homosexuality but I doubt that's all it was.

This type of bullshit doesn't stand on its own merit. Even if you weren't born that way, clearly millions of people are compelled to act on their impulses (i.e. be gay) regardless of the many horrific consequences. So whether you were or weren't born that way is completely irrelevant.

Also, if you weren't born that way then, as the book itself demonstrates, its due to a complex intersection of physio/psychological factors going all the way back to childhood. How the fuck are you supposed to resolve that with a bit of prayer, shame and electro-shock therapy?

It seems like you can get a lot more done when you treat gays like human beings instead of repugnant monsters as >>12355938 demonstrates. It seems like self-destructive behaviour (suicide, unprotected sex etc.) is more of a result of that very thing.

This debate was settled a long time ago. The only question unironically worth discussing is whether it is gay to enjoy looking at trangender ftm porn and/or wanting to fuck them.

No, not really. You don't find a 10/10 woman attractive because of her vagina. That's only one (sometimes small) part in their attractiveness. You are attracted to their feminine features and other general stuff like symmetry, proportions, health, skin, hair, etc.

The argument of a "normal life" is fundamentally flawed because you would have to compare a queer person to a contemporary, straight one, meaning that a life that is lived by a heterosexual that, assuming, should construct a family structure at some point in their lives and procreate is the most desirable and should lead to fulfillment, truth or the highest good, when that is hardly ever the case, especially nowadays.

The only one true path to fulfillment is through the abnegation of passion, to live a life without vice and to be rational and reasonable, as has been suggested by the stoics, the saints, the paramahamsa yogis and any or all men of any culture that sought virtue.

But to wash any refutation of the family my argument might have brought, it does appear that through family one might reflect better his flaws and strive for said good more than one that would live a life solitary, which often as it is, is followed by the most deranged of behaviours.

I don't think he was a full blown faggot but Diogenes literally sent him a letter accusing him of being "ruled by Hephaestion's thighs".

That's kind of hard to dismiss isn't it? And once you look into Alexanders up bringing, his strange relationship with his mother, his failed relationship with his father... It does make sense that he would "experiment" with his best childhood friend.

When Hephaestion finally died Alexander made the whole city mourn his death and Alexander suffered a mental breakdown. No one can deny this. He went nuts, he wanted to die in battle with his best friend and (supposed) lover Hephaestion. But Hephaestion died of some infection.

Then suddenly, once they went back into battle, Alexander starts getting drunk and "accidentally" killing his best friends... That sounds like someone who can't come to terms with the fact they lost their closest friend and possible lover.

I think it's a cute story anyway

This. Don't forget about birth order effects. Every older brother that a boy has increases his chances of having a homosexual arousal pattern by 15%. The mothers body developing antibodies to male foetuses (or specific features of male foetuses) and interrupting the masculinization process in some way. We know that pregnant women who have been exposed to endocrine disrupters (finesteride for DHT) have a much higher incidence of giving birth to a gender dysphoric child. Being gay (and by extension transgender) can be best thought of a mild intersex condition where only certain brain structures (and arousal patterns) are affected rather than the genome
