It all goes down to survival. Our sexuality is an ancient survival mechanism. And I'm speaking in generalities here but typically guys want to fuck as much as possible, best chance for them to propagate. We're simple creatures like that. Women have an incentive to find a strong male because they're going to be knocked up with child then saddled with the brat and they need resources, a caretaker, to survive.

Women also have an incentive to surround themselves with weak males. More protection and care taking without cost (pregnancy). Second tier males who make failed bids to have a shot at breeding are exiled from the community (they exist today as incels, in olden times they usually probably just died off -- the natural revulsion a person feels for incels is instinctual).

I think that pretty much sums up everything about modern heterosexual relationships. Sure, we fancied it up over the years but it all goes down to the basics.

Homosexuality seems to be genetic, since computer programs can identify homosexuals that means there's a relationship to appearance and genetics would be the obvious answer. Why those genetics are expressed may have to do with environmental factors, such as overcrowding.

Trans... Fuck if I know, you should probably explain that one to me. I figure it's psychological.

Thanks, I guess. Obviously, people have to have sex to make babies, I just don't like it.

Transgenderism is quite simple: society expects people to behave in certain ways according to whether they have a penis or a vagina, even if the behaviors are entirely unrelated, but some people behave differently than the expectation.

I ain't sure how certain behaviors became associated with genitals, such as wearing make-up and shaving your legs, but others make more sense: women have kids, so naturally they take care of them, and that leaves men with the responsibility to work.

Some of it really is baffling. I'm a husky 6' dude, but I have very long hair. Not the first time. This time I have a long white beard. No one's ever confused me for female.

Other things I do people may consider me eccentric and no one would confuse me with "normal" - especially in the small normie city I've been in for the last 10 years. Yet no one has called the white coats to haul me off to the loony bin.

I saw the picture on infogalactic. You could probably pretend to be Santa and kids would believe you.
