Good resource about research on homosexuality

I do think “You might refrain from jumping to conclusions in the future and just answer the question” was uncalled for. You could have said something along the lines of “Your answer was not clear to me”

See post #43, so I think it was called for at that point.

It was a question. Non-sequiturs are statements.
It also could not be the opposite of what you were trying to say because I did not say anything. I asked a question.
You didn’t clearly answer the question.

non-sequitor

1: an inference that does not follow from the premises; specifically : a fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmative proposition or from the transposition of a condition and its consequent
2: a statement (as a response) that does not follow logically from or is not clearly related to anything previously said

It was a simple question.

Why won’t you answer it? It doesn’t need breaking down. It was a simple situation and you can assume the reasons why ‘Christopher’ and ‘Brent’ were bullied were exactly as they were stated.

You persist in trying to rethink other people’s experiences. Their experiences are 100% genuine to them.

Let me give you a real life example of bullying that went too far (at least I hope you’d agree it went too far).

You accuse me of conjecture. You have no idea who I have met, the evidence I have collected, the accounts I have heard, who I have spend hours and days talking to. You have no idea of the children I have cared for and about with all my heart and soul, or the tears I’ve shed for those who have been cruelly denied their happiness.

If you think I’m going to be telling you about their private details on a public internet site, you have another thing coming, but I won’t be accused of conjecture or fantasy by you.

I know what I am talking about. It’s real life, not some biased study written by someone with a point to prove. These are real people’s lives, real pain, real deaths that you dismiss so easily. I won’t give up fighting for them.

The was a boy, his family are my friends and therefore I will not name him or give too many details out of respect for them… he was bisexual, assaulted (for that reason) on several occasions by others at his school. Despite his parents’ support, he committed suicide at 17 years old. His message to his family was that he couldn’t go on because he felt all alone in the world. Nobody he knew could understand the pain he was going through because nobody else was the same as him.

This boy is dead. He is not your child. You knew the family and the boy. There is emotional attachment. Nothing can be said about this dead boy. His death is tragic and to discuss anything about this dishonors this child, his family and your memories.

You clearly do not understand what bullying is or how it is perceived by the victim, how they experience a separation from the world, in particular if there is no part of their world that they can go to for solace that properly understands what it is to be in their shoes.

I was bullied as a child. My wife has told me about being bullied as a child. I understand.

as it concerns adolescents and this thread, this is relevant. Knowing that 98% will move towards heterosexuality would be encouraging to a child and parents of an adolescent that act bisexual

For adolescents:

Most teenagers will change from SSA. In fact, in the 16 to 17 year age group, 98% will move from homosexuality and bisexuality towards heterosexuality.

16 year olds saying they are SSA or Bi-attracted are 25 times more likely to say they are opposite sex attracted at the age of 17 than those with a heterosexual orientation are likely to identify themselves as bi-sexual or homosexual.

16-year olds who claim they are opposite sex attracted will overwhelmingly remain that way.

Yes,

Another interesting fact is

About 90% of Western “intersex” children (those born with ambiguous genitalia) choose to remain in their gender of upbringing when puberty reveals their true genetic gender and surgical interventions are offered. Often, this choice is made in the face of very contrary physical and hormonal characteristics. It argues for predominant environmental influences on the formation of gender orientation and behaviour.
