Oof
Right, I'll entertain the idea if there's actually something to it, but can it account for homosexuality across all species?
That question feels weird to say, obviously not
seems quite unlikely, and dare I sound like a leftist for a moment, motivated
My qualms with that theory, specifically the notion that homosexuality is caused by Toxoplasmosis, is that there are countries where the majority of the population has toxoplasmosis yet the majority of the population isn’t homosexual.
I might not be understanding it correctly though.
That could be social pressure
Like, they have a lot of gays, but they're all in the closet
I mean like 90% of the population has toxoplasmosis.

I’ve heard it before, it was in one of the subtweets as well.
Prager U is not having a good day in the comments under its last vid
@ophiuchus I mean... it can't be *that* hard to suppress a fetish, can it?
In Recife, in Brazil, 77.5% of the population has toxoplasmosis. There is literally no way that 3/4 of the population there is homosexual.
I think the idea is that homosexuality is a symptom, not something guaranteed to happen
@Sam Anderson the YT comments are supportive weirdly
Twitter is a bloodbath
As usual
The theory that homosexuality is spread through child abuse seems like the most likely
In the United States, 7.7% of the population has toxoplasmosis. I guarantee there are more gay people here.
It can't just be a coincidence that everyone knows a gay person who was abused
I don’t believe there’s any single cause of homosexuality.
It's crazy how common it is
I don't have any close gay friends, but I've talked to people who were close with a gay person, and once they gain my trust, they always tell me about how their friend was abused
Maybe gays are just MGTOW to the extreme? 🤔
I’d assume there were multiple causes of that as well.
I believe JF goes over the gay gene claims recently
went over*
When you become so woke you turn into Elton John
I’m nearly certain homosexuality is caused by disparate sources- not least the social capital that you get by claiming to be gay.
Or bisexual, meaning heterosexual but wants woke points.
The two sources he claims there are something akin to narcolepsy, and toxoplasmosis.
Here's a summary of the gay gene thing
There's a certain gene that makes people attracted to a particular body part. When found in the correct gender, this gene just makes people want to have a lot of sex. But when in the other gender, it makes them gay.
This is why it hasn't been bred out yet.
Plausible, for sure.
I need to do one of the DNA tests that allows you to upload data to codegen.eu
It's really cool. The website tell you what behaviors you're predisposed to, what diseases you might develop, all kinds of stuff
I never talked with this guy, but he routinely volunteered information he thought everyone should know. Guy was a homo & 'transitioning'. One day Im out smoking on break with about 15 people & this guy starts talking about what a great experience it was to be abused at 11 or 12 on a beach in new jersey.
what the fuck
