Some interesting tidbit about homosexuality

My sleep doc gave me amitriptyline. It is for depression, but at a sub-clinical dose it knocks non-depressed people out like a light.

Yep. One of the long list of side effects is sleep.

Yep. One of the long list of side effects is sleep.

Depressed people take a lot more of it than I do. Their dose might put me to sleep forever.

The only side effect for me is I wake up as if I were drinking heavily the night before, but it goes away within 20 minutes. The traditional sleep meds have worse effects for me.

This is where the rubber meets the road, and where you slam on the breaks hard to avoid catastrophe.

If it was me, I'd slap the little wench senseless, then order her to get such stupid thoughts out of her mind, and that she's running with the wrong crowd to get such ideas and that there is no way in hell she could possibly know what are "male thoughts and emotions" and what are not, and to quit trollin' me.

I'd tell her that's the dumbest crock of $#@! I ever heard. If she means she's lesbian, that's one thing -- all women are lesbian to some extent, but if she feels like a guy, get out of the house.


The ball is now in her court. She'll think it over, then apologize for being so impossible but that's what they taught her at school, and maybe she should home school. Everything will eventually return to normal.

What's one more suicide.

It isn't shallow. It isn't deep. It's just a question -- the kind of question anyone would ask.

It could have worked, you know.

Your thinking is wrapped in a straight jacket. No one is asking for you to do anything.

Those structural differences in the brain, far more than hormones, determine your sexuality. I'm glad that you are intellectually curious.

I need to see a lot more evidence to believe that. I think it is a choice for some reason. I don't mind being wrong but I want it proven.

I doubt that every case is the same. There may be some who are choosing because of neuroses or other disorders. I'm not sure that brain structural differences are obvious in children, for instance. It's good to just keep an open mind.
