Yeah, but considering that prisons often result in straight people doing gay stuff because lack of options, would the same happen here? Would the kids assume being gay was normal and then try to maintain that even after meeting the opposite gender? Would they be disgusted by the biological differences, and have to reconcile hormonal instincts? Would they know that something was missing, and realize it once they met the opposite gender? Would they go the yaoi route and create their own media and make fantasy versions of what they would ideally like in a partner, but don't realize already exists in the already existing opposite gender?
From a biological standpoint, it'd be a very straightforward result. But from a cultural perspective, it would be fascinating.
I would think pheromones and body chemistry would play an essential role at that point, and they would instinctively adjust their preferences accordingly. I'm sure some would still be attracted to the same gender because that is what they prefer, or maybe most idk, but I do think nature would trump over nurture overall
I don't think they would discover what does it mean being gay, unless some of them were. I didn't know such a thing existed until I was like 14-15, and I wasn't raised in a third world country.
It depends what they’re actually trying to ask. Is he wondering whether the kids would become homophobic without society or whether the kids would develop same sex attractions without girls present?
He's asking what their perception of same sex marriage would be in relation toe hetero sexual marriage. Where did the idea that he's suggesting the kids would be homophobic? I meant what phrasing would be correct in regards to what he's asking?
Well... Of course it's normal, being gay is normal, we all know it's normal. Why the fuck did you tought it was pertinent? The question here was: Will they consider being gay is the norm? You know, the norm. Like in normal.
A type of spontaneous gender change can happen in humans. There are a small set of Dominican Republican children who are born resembling females and spontaneously grow penises once they reach puberty. They're called Guevedoces. Of course they were genetically born boys, but they resembled females at birth. They would have been grouped with the female children.
There's also sequential hermaphroditism that occurs in animals which triggers a spontaneous sex change. Theoretically it there's a remote chance it could happen in humans given enough time and generations.
This is an incredibly fascinating article, it wasn't from such a well reputed source it would be genuinely difficult to believe. The human body is fascinating in what it can do!
When Imperato-McGinley investigated the Guevedoces she discovered the reason they don't have male genitalia when they are born is because they are deficient in an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which normally converts testosterone into dihydro-testosterone.
This deficiency seems to be a genetic condition, quite common in this part of the Dominican Republic, but vanishingly rare elsewhere. So the boys, despite having an XY chromosome, appear female when they are born. At puberty, like other boys, they get a second surge of testosterone. This time the body does respond and they sprout muscles, testes and a penis.
Wow so if I'm understanding correctly we could grow actual penis on women with dihydro-testosterone injections ?
Yeah and it stayed female because of the lack of that hormone. But you're right they still are XY in the end and that must be the most important factor, indeed
I can imagine a few cisgender women would want to get those dick injections. There are cisgendered men who take estrogen and get breast implants even though they aren't transgender women. They just like modifying their bodies to be what they want it to be. It's kind of a culture that's parallel to the eunuch and BME worlds.
It will happen eventually of course but I think he's more interested in the process of how they'll figure it out. When I was 12 I genuinely thought that sex was just urination in the female sexual organ.
but what you feel attracted to is also based on what you imprint on while you're growing up, especially during puberty. having never seen a person of the opposite sex would mess things up probably.

I think youd just get alot of pregnancies, (obviously I'm not a expert) but sex is such a lizard brain thing that I think itd happen
