This is the usual nonsense on this forum where a few certain people decide they know better than you what you meant and intended. It won't matter how many times and ways you expplain yourself, they think they know better.
What is it now, close to 80, 90 posts on the meaning of aberrant, all starting with Who's cherry picking synonym to add connotative drama.

As D stated last night, and any review of the scientific literature will show, we really don't know how much is genetic and how much learned. But, I agree, we do choose how to act....It wasn't something that I chose. It was a reality.
We can choose what we act out...or perform...in real life. We don't choose our feelings though.
Given that there's actually been extremely little discussion of "homasexuality," then what you aimed for and claim success at is all about sympathy....In point of fact, the thread has worked out better than I thought it would so far. I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of support and sincere interest it's generated. I'm actually considering it basically a success in that sense.

Typical Democrat, can't answer a straightforward question.
Tap dance all around it, say a lot, without saying anything.
That's about the time, the host says, "ok, that's great, now, answer the question."
Do you not understand the question? If someone, literally is, a poopy head, is it an insult to say so?
Think about it.

I would have no reason to walk up to a total stranger and out of the blue tell them they were an aberration. I have told my daughter, who has been totally deaf from birth that she is different from everyone else and she has to adapt to the hearing world since it won't adapt to her. Did I use the word "aberration"? No, because in all likelihood she would not have understood it but I did make myself clear.

Why are you insulting my daughter by telling me she has a "stigma". She doesn't have a stigma, she has a handicap and since it was one she was born with its an aberration to the norm, the norm being those who can hear.
a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person.
