Non-human female mammals eat the placenta after giving birth.

We buried ours and planted a tree over it, but the claim was that around 3% were consumed by their human mothers at the time.

What would you rather a child see? What looks like a man and what looks like a woman kissing? Or what looks like two men or two women kissing?

This is too close to our political election reality for comfort, but my choice in both cases is neither.

"Speaking of biochemistry," I'm out of my league on this topic, and aren't knowledgeable enough to play one on the internet, but the info in your comment is fascinating. Okay, maybe just really interesting, but would read and research again.

https://www.britannica.com/science/estrogen

That link is a rich source of bio-sciency words, and a moderately detailed description of the conversion of progesterone to the main estrogens, estradiol, and estrone. I'm not seeing a reference to the DHEA precursor.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/dehydroepiandrosterone

DHEA is synthesized from pregnenolone and is further metabolized to androstenedione, testosterone, and estrogens.

My eyes are beginning to glaze over a bit. Is DHEA not directly produced in the ovaries, but also assembled in the blood?

Anyway, thanks loads for the info dump. Out of curiosity, is your username a reference to 'there she is!', or to actual spots? Also, do you write in some capacity about this?

Yes. Some mothers do hang onto the placenta for health benefits. They might dry it out and consume bits of it at a time to help with post-pregnancy symptoms.

And the rhetorical questions I asked, yes, your response seems reasonable. If all is ideal, that sort of affection would be kept private regardless of orientation.

And what you have found just indicates that I need to do more research as well. That's the problem with science, the more you think you know, the more you realize that you don't know. Even Einstein allegedly said something similar. "The secret to my genius is knowing what I'm retarded at," or something.

My screen name comes from my desire to write or at least imagine about aliens. So literal spots, though I'm not redheaded nor a spotted extraterrestrial. I've used "Purple Lady" and similar in the past. That evolved into a fictional narrative over time starting from there. Why would a lady be purple? Maybe she's an alien. If she's a space alien, maybe she has a homeland on some other planet. And if there's a place with other purple people, maybe they have enemies. Maybe the enemies are Green. Not sure if Green Guys have bigger replication tentacles or not or if that's just a myth. :-) And I've tried to think out how I could write an ET story that is somewhat like US history. Use allegories to try to discuss topics that cancel culture has forced folks to not discuss. The Right could use a person such as Rod Serling to counter what's been promoted for so long. But since the Left has so much traction, fiction would be a safer place to start. If kids can read about "Heather's Two Mommies" and "Daddy's Roommate," why not read about issues that more likely will affect them such as losing freedoms and the majority letting a minority collective bully them into losing rights, losing jobs, and being unlikely to achieve the American Dream that so many hear about, but which is more elusive than the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy? And in drama or movie form, such a show could move past Black/White identity issues and Political Correctness. If you have believable Purple, Green, and Spotted characters, nobody should be able to tell or care whether the actors are Black, White, Asian, or actually Green, Purple, Blue, etc.
