just so I understand the above statement, are you suggesting that nature created more than two genders?
*************
M*W: Yes, that is what I am saying. However, I believe at the present time, there is lots of scientific research being done, but I am not familiar with all of it right now. I strongly believe there are environmental toxins that may play a role in the development of the fetus of pregnant women that could influence gender and/or alter genders. I've written about this before. I consider the following factors to be possible causation of alternate genders:
Prenatal ultrasound
Homones added to food supply
Hormones added to cow's milk
Cats and the diseases they influence
Birds, chicken, turkey, etc.
Common refrigerator bacteria
Fish from contaminated waters
A woman's own hormonal rush during pregnancy
To name a few.
We can no longer blame the way a child was raised that would change his gender. It's not an option of one's choice.
The latest research that comes to mind, sorry I cannot site it just now, is the higher incidence of boys who have older brothers. They found that to be statistically significant in a greater incidence of homosexuality. Exactly how that works, I don't know. I haven't read the research.
This is a complicated subject that should not be addressed by religious bias. It's far more technical that the average public believes.
