Wow this is a great compilation of resources!

How do you think sexual orientation fits in to this? If our sexual orientation is innate and programmed in the brain, and the vast majority of women are attracted to men, while the vast majority of men are attracted to women, then isn't that one very clear brain difference between the the two sexes?

Yeah, so relieved I have a draft saved. A lot of it are from other r/gc members.

I haven't looked into it studies-wise. However, being that it is reflected in many animal species, it is basis that it is a natural variant of sexuality. Could be as definite differing (brain) anatomical structure, or as nebulous as psychological preference (as one has personal preference for food/music/etc), or maybe both (when hit by a partner's pheromones, specific sensors trigger positive psych association).

A natural variant of sexuality? I'm talking about heterosexuality, the sexual orientation that accounts for that majority of people and animals.
And I don't need to smell a person to know which sex I am attracted to.
I just don't understand why same-brain theory people continue to overlook this, i've never managed to get people to discuss it
