:10000-com:% agree. Being obsessed with a “rational explanation” of queerness comes from viewing cishet as default. That belief in CompHet is founded in the cultural norms of white supremacy and colonialism.
Possible correlations between genetics and queerness is an interesting question in a complete vacuum, but the way that information will inevitably be weaponized regardless of the outcome is not worth having one’s curiosity piqued.
I’d feel differently if we had a country with a DOTP that upheld queer rights as a part of its party line and protected queer people from genocide. We’re not there… yet.
Also, a lot of the people I’ve seen who are obsessed with that question also happen to be bigoted freaks having a closeted existential crisis about their own sexual orientation / gender identity.
I had an argument with a cis transmedicalist once who eventually admitted they were only invested in their truscum beliefs because of their own search for a “scientific” definition of their bisexuality. They were, unsurprisingly, trying to suppress / “cure” their attraction to multiple genders.
Convo ended when I told him the best cure for his emotional turmoil would be to accept himself and suck a dick when he wanted to suck a dick.
trying to suppress / “cure” their attraction to multiple genders.
I really hate that people can be convinced they need to agonize over noticing more than one gender of cutie. It's unilaterally positive without that inflicted agony

Internalized bigotry is a fuck
