    Alleles becoming dominant or recessive based on upbringing? My brother, what publications have you been reading?

    The heritability of sexuality is not a scientifically defensible claim at this point—let alone the other claims you just made.

      If you read what I actually wrote down allele expression is INFLUENCED by the environment, regardless of what people want to think or want to believe the research supports the hypothesis that sexual identity is not simply a matter of genetic influence nor of just upbringing but a combination thereof.

      At no point was heritability mentioned or posited.

      Please read what people write and if you don’t understand what is being said you should ask questions instead of exhibiting a clearly sciolist position.

      Here’s a couple of current research papers to get you started: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5033347/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6677266/

      And here’s research on genetic expression and how the environment can impact such expression:

      Once again, and to be extremely clear, heritability is not mentioned nor even involved in this discussion.
