    I am researching, heavily for two books I am writing. The general area is anxiety and fear. In the seventh book I am reading I found some interesting information about the amygdala. It is part of our brain and there are two of them, a left one and a right one.

    They work together to process emotions.

    Here is what I found to be interesting:
    Right amygdala: processes fear, sadness and anxiety. Also processes declarative and episodic memories.

    Left amygdala: processes fear, sadness and anxiety, plus happiness and joy. Develops about two years earlier than the right amygdala.

    Both have many androgen receptors that respond to testosterone.

    Sex differences:

    Females develop their amygdala much earlier than males.
    Males have much larger amygdala than females.

    The left amygdala in gay men very closely resembles the left amygdala in herosexual women.

    Lesbians have amygdala that closely resemble the amygdala in heterosexual men.

    None of this has anything to do with the books I am writing. Still, I found it very interesting.

    Some of you know I had a moving experience with a female friend whose daughter decided she could no longer live as a female. She planned to kill herself.

    My friend spent more than an hour in anguish with me. What should she do? This mother would rather have a live son than a dead daughter. Her daughter said she thinks of herself as a male with male thoughts and emotions.

    So the mother supported her daughter (and now, years later, son). I did not understand it then. Maybe I understand it a bit more now.
    Those structural differences in the brain, far more than hormones, determine your sexuality. I'm glad that you are intellectually curious.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    You clearly didn't understand the importance of brain structure in sexuality. If your brain was transplanted into a woman's body, would you suddenly feel female or would you feel like a guy in the wrong body? People are very sympathetic when it comes to children who are born hermaphrodites (both sets of sexual organs), particularly when someone arbitrarily chose one sex over another when they were infants, but made the wrong choice. Why did they make the wrong choice, because they didn't check the brain structure and for all I know it may not be obvious in the brain of a newborn. There are all kinds of birth defects that are obvious so why would brain structure be any less susceptible to the same kind of issues? In fact it is obvious that many children are born with intellectual deficiencies because of brain structure malformations. These malformations can also be subtle, not affecting intellect but instead perhaps identity.

    The MRI with its variants let's us see things we could not see before. This book thrilled the scientist in me.

    They have my sympathy.
    It also explains how being gay is not the norm

    It's obviously genetic. I always rolled my eyes at those who said it was a choice

    It's not a choice between the two. Homosexuality could be genetic or not yet still not be a choice in any case.
