Childhood trauma is so incredibly common. It's amazing that the whole world isn't LGB with a few stray straights lurking in the shadows and mating in secret.

RIGHT?! Like if it ACTUALLY caused you to be LGB then so many more people would be LGB, by the numbers!!!

edit: Just throwing in for visibility purposes-- this website is apparently maintained by a group of Muslim "researchers" who use liberal homophobia (gender identity ideology) to support the claims of their conservative homophobia. Horseshoe theory, indeed. Check the About page.

Also sorry if I seem pissed but I was fed this particular lie, growing up. Hits close to home.

Were you able to find the name of the researchers? I just want to figure out what their origin country is, before the UK.

The gender-ideology thing is really unusual, because besides Iran, Muslims don't, or aren't supposed to believe in gendered souls. Men are men and Women are women. End of story. You die and go to heaven as a man with your 10billion transparent houri virgins and that's it. If you're a woman and you somehow manage not to end up in hell, you get to sit in a corner in your husband's heaven eating popcorn while you watch your husband bang his houris. If you think about it, the only way for women to get the fun version of heaven is to get the sex change. (Also, I should add that this isn't shit all muslims believe, I think it depends on what country you're from and what they've been teaching you. In my country we believe good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. What sex your body happens to be doesn't matter. Also, heaven is the place closest to god and it's warm with his light and feels like being intensely loved, and hell is the place furthest away from god and feels cold and empty. It's not like clouds and harps and flames and other cartoony stuff. I'm a non-believer, I'm just trying to explain.)

Dr. Sadiq Muhammad is the only name I can find on the site; everything else yields no information. Googled the name and there is a Dallas, Texas doctor by that name with crappy Google ratings (that I couldn't seem to open). It might be a one-man show.

Thanks for explaining! That's interesting, makes sense :) yeah I wouldn't be surprised if only a few people are involved in this website, if the beliefs are not internally consistent.

Dr. Sadiq Muhammad

Shit... That could be a lot of countries... If he's UK-based, possibly Pakistani... And I keep seeing that they're getting involved in this gender/trans nonsense too because of influence from Iran. But I don't know enough about their beliefs to contribute anything useful :C But yeah, Islam is very much like Christianity, you know how they're all Christians, but you have the Baptists, and the Catholics, and the Mormons, and the Jehovah's Witnesses and all of that. They all worship the same dude, but very differently. In the Muslim world, different countries believe different things and it's all influenced from the culture, law, and society. For example, in my country, we are taught that Mohammed only had 4 wives. If you look online you can see the guy married, divorced, and hooked up with so many people he barely had time to do anything else. There is a lot of cherry-picking going on.

Sounds just like the different Christian sects then, hahaha. No worries!

Does everyone know that Muslims inbreed? Everyone should know. Lower IQ, higher risk of mental retardation, psychological disorders, and all sorts of health problems, and that's if you're lucky enough to avoid being born with spinal muscular atrophy or some other horrific and painful lifetime condition. Hundreds of kids are born permanently disabled in the UK every year because of cousin marriage. Wealthy Arab countries top the list for incidence of birth defects.

But they can't do anything about it, since their perfect role model Mohammed married two of his first cousins. So either Mohammed was a fraud, or Allah wanted his followers to have health problems and lower IQ.

I used to be all citizen-of-the-world, all religions are part of the same truth kinda guy... But Islam sucks. It really sucks.

Straight people would be just as open about their shitty childhoods if they were so pressured to dissect and navel-gaze about how much it influenced them... or if being heterosexual was so non-traditional that certain rules such as "we just don't talk about that" and "that doesn't happen in OUR family" lost their power.

That's a great point, I'd never thought about that before. Double standard.
