LOL WUTWhen our biologically based aversion to incest that helps preserve our species survival is too “ableist” and isn’t “woke” enough.

That’s why male-female incest gets more disgust than same-sex incest. And the latter is still viewed negatively, because there are special bonds between family members that get spoiled after a sexual encounter.

I don’t know… call me an evil biological essentialist and utilitarian but I think we should do what countries like Hong-Kong, Germany and Ireland do and legalize incest for consenting adult same-sex couples only, and also remove the stigma when applied to them. (This of course would only apply to sibilings or cousins close in age, intergenerational incest like parent/child is too rife for abuse and grooming to ever be safely legalized, same-sex or not)

Do homosexuals even experience the Westernmarck Effect like heteros do? I mean the only reason we’ve evolved to be repulsed by incest is because we’re a sexually dimorphic two-sex species who reproduces sexually rather than asexually, thus requiring genetic diversity and too much inbreeding pretty much would spell the end of our species. But homosexuals are already born without a reproductive imperative, they’re the small portion of any given population literally wired NOT to reproduce (my theory is that this gene developed in order to prevent overpopulation) so why should or would a purely based reproductive taboo even apply to them?

It’s time to bring back acknowledging biological differences and set double (but fair) standards that make sense for these differences, maybe that’ll finally wake up this generation and get us off this wild ride of A Woke New World - make biology and science matter again!

I don't know. Homosexuality is probably some kind of disorder, and they evidently still have reproductive instincts, or they wouldn't mate at all, like myself. The only difference with heterosexuality seems to be the attraction to the "wrong" sex. This would exclude pseudo-homsexuality though, such as people who are trying to be trendy, or are only "gay" because they have a fetish for it.

No, it’s just another natural wiring or else it wouldn’t be seen in most species.

No if they had reproductive instincts they would quite literally be straight, or even bi.

Is this your way of saying you’re asexual?

For what it’s worth I personally think it’s the exact same gene that contributes to all these different reproductive mitigating orientations such as homo/bi/trans and yes even ace, but just manifested differently. (Or maybe not to as strong an extent as in the case of bisexuals)

Other species don't have disorders?

Then why do they try to mate? That's an instinct designed to make a person reproduce, even if it's not their intended goal.

Correct so homosexuality shouldn’t be considered a disorder.

Then why do they try to mate? That's an instinct designed to make a person reproduce, even if it's not their intended goal.

I believe there’s a certain reproductive inhibiting gene out there that manifests itself in different ways - some of it is complete asexuality and the absentation of sex itself, another way is still having that sexual urge but directing it towards the “wrong” gender, and still others is the individual in question having a brain that is more wired akin to the opposite sex which causes severe body dysphoria and makes them cease using their reproductive organs.

Regardless of how it manifests the end result is still the same: prevent a selected portion of the population from reproducing at all costs in order to maintain species-wide population stability.

By that logic nothing is a disorder because everything is for natural selection's agenda. No matter how terrible of a burden it is on the individual, as long as it's meant for natural selection.

Luckily abnormal sexuality isn't usually problematic but that doesn't mean it's intended.
