Gay-lib reactions to the Mayer and McHugh report, part 1: Dean Hamer
Gay-lib magazine The Advocate has released a response by Dean Hamer to the Mayer & McHugh report of August last.

1. “The idea that individuals are “born that way” – that sexual orientation is a biologically fixed, innate human trait is not supported by scientific evidence.”
2. “The idea that an individual could be “a man trapped in a woman’s body or a woman trapped in a man’s body” – in other words, the notion that a gender identity that is independent from or in conflict with biological sex, cannot be supported by scientific evidence.” Continue reading New scientific evidence Mayer and McHugh proves you were not ‘born that way’
