Is homosexuality innate or acquired?
On the one hand, Genetic testing technology has matured and rapidly popularized, and some genes that may be related to sexual orientation have also been found, although there are still many disputes., If relevant research is not combined with Epigenetics, considering the interaction between genetic expression and environment, there will also be loopholes.
On the other hand, psychological, anthropological, sexological, Gender studies and sociological studies have also found family environment, educational environment, infant/adolescent experiences, traumatic events, peer relationships, etc., Although most mechanisms may not be clear yet.
These acquired influences are often not controlled by personal will and are not the result of personal choice. They are formed by the combined action of many complex factors, and therefore cannot be simply corrected or avoided.
2. Factors affecting homosexuality
The unnatural view of homosexuality, a certain illness or mental disorder, and another view that homosexuality is a vulgar, disgusting, and rebellious lifestyle that individuals voluntarily choose. People with the first viewpoint will bring homosexuals to hospitals and mental hospitals for mandatory treatment, such as taking medication, electric shocks, various mental stimulation and torture, and even engaging in sexual assault and abuse, hoping to cure homosexuality. What's even more terrifying is that some people really feel like they're helping homosexuals get out of their misery and contribute to society.
Can homosexuality change?
There are many theories about the emergence of sexual orientation. Nowadays, the vast majority of scientists, psychologists, and medical experts believe that sexual orientation is innate. Scientific literature published by the American Psychological Association shows that long-term experimental records prove that homosexuality cannot be corrected and sexual orientation cannot be changed.
Many researchers have already believed that homosexuality has a profound biomedical foundation, and the sexual orientation of homosexuals is determined by their homosexual genes, which cannot be changed, is not a choice, nor is it something you can control.
Some homosexuals are 12 years old, and I am already aware of my sexual orientation. Another group of homosexuals should continue to explore their sexual orientation at the age of 12-16 and gradually determine it. Most homosexuals can clearly understand their sexual orientation by the age of 20. But there are also some homosexuals who may suddenly realize their sexual orientation and believe in it when they are between the ages of 40 and 50.
