Although some here are mocking your duck theory I was reading an article from Japan that stated this very correlation.

"When I realized I was a human being, it was a strange feeling. I wished I were an animal, a bird, or dog, horse, serpentine. But no matter how much I thought about it, I knew I couldn't leave my body and be an animal in this world. I was so disappointed.

"My body was a woman's. But I thought men's bodies were better because they're more like animals, with muscles, hairier. Then I wished I could be a man. I was very small then, probably three or four," he says.

Quite a lot of young children pretend to be or wish to be animals. I'm not sure how much that has to do with transgenderhood.

I have been reading the objections of Christian organizations
concerning the hate crimes bill passed by the House.

I checked my search engine for the text of the bill and every
reference made by a Christian organization was to a bill dated in
2005. Immediately, I smelled a rat. This is the year 2007.

The objections were claiming that preachers could not mention
anything from the pulpit about the persons mentioned in the bill,
and that included the transsexuals. They claimed that the
Christian's first amendments rights would be taken away.

I am sure that if they knew I had found the bill, they would be most
unhappy. In the first place, the bill is H. R. 1592, dated April
30, 2007 --- not the year 2005.

Futhermore, Section 11, RULE OF CONSTRUCTION states the following:

"Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be
construed to prohibit any expressive conduct protected from legal
prohibition by, or any activities protected by the free speech or
free exercise clauses of, the First Amendment to the Constitution."

Remember, this Section is not being mentioned by Christian
organizations. It would defeat their claims. Remember, they had to
refer to a bill written in 2005.

Now, are Christian leaders actually lying? That is for you to
decide.

I agree with you and James, we should stiffle freedom and speach, force the kid to conform to make us feel more confortable because since we are not that way, it can't be possible since we don't understand it. Pay an illegal under the table to scrap his brains off the wall (when he blows his/her brains out for being forced to be what he was not) with out bio hazard protection and when the illegal gets sick, kick 'em back to his home contry with out compensating him or the government for employee taxes.

The U.S. isn't about freedom, our founding Fathers fought so we could all be the same and have no choices or rights and all politians should be treated as Gods and obeyed.... right?
I love people who wave the bull**** flag under the guise of "patriotism"... like how they dogged the Dixie Chicks. Bush is not God, you can oppose war and governmental policies and support troops, thats what being an American is.
You question public servants (like the President) and thier motives and allow all citizens to be who they are and choose and exercise thier rights, all of thier rights...to all of the people, not just the rich or majority.

We are not the ones who need to leave and this is the place to air differing opinions so I think we are all in the right place.

Amen Brother, I have found many wonderful Christians... I have also found those who call themselves Christians that use the Bible and facts and twist it to fit thier discrimination and personal values and gain. (Don't forget even the Catholic church actually altered the Bible to collect reparations for sins to fill coffiers and protects known pediphiles. Doesn't make Catholics immoral or bad or approving of pediphiles) People are good and bad in all shapes, forms and backgrounds.
Just because you are reliegous doesn't make you moral, the opposite is true as well. Just the same as being straight doesn't make you normal, being something else doesn't make you a freak, etc..... insert issue here.

Here you go. Real research and some of the findings they have, right now! TODAY.
You can choose to be ignorant. Or at least consider that just because you are not gay or transgendered that accepting the possiblity that some are does not make you "gay" for being educated.


Same Mechanism Involved in Male and Female Homosexuality

Copyright 2004, James Michael Howard, Fayetteville, Arkansas, U.S.A.

In 1985, I first suggested male homosexuality results from reduced availability of DHEA in utero (copyrighted). (I learned later that DHEA is low, on average, in male homosexuals.) I think low DHEA in males in utero reduces "male" orientation because of low growth and development of the pertinent part of the brain. DHEA does affect growth of brain areas, even in adult song sparrows, when testosterone is low. DHEA stimulates "aggression and the size of an entire brain region [involved in male territorial song]" (Horm Behav 2002; 41: 203-12). Subsequently, I decided testosterone "intensifies" the effects of brain growth stimulated by DHEA. Therefore, if enough DHEA is present, the "hit" of testosterone produced by male fetuses accentuates the direction of sexuality established by DHEA. Female fetuses lack this "hit" of testosterone. (All of our brains are "female" until this occurs.) If a male fetus experiences low DHEA at the time of development of the pertinent part of the brain, the testosterone cannot change the orientation. When testosterone increases at puberty, the orientation is intensified and sexual activity corresponds with the direction established in utero.

Explaining female homosexuality eluded me until recently. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is often (90%) associated with increased DHEA. It was recently reported that "among women with CAH, we found that recalled male-typical play in childhood correlated with reduced satisfaction with the female gender and reduced heterosexual interest in adulthood. Although prospective studies are needed, these results suggest that those girls with CAH who show the greatest alterations in childhood play behavior may be the most likely to develop a bisexual or homosexual orientation as adults and to be dissatisfied with the female sex of assignment." (J Sex Res 2004; 41: 78-81). I suggest this fits my hypothesis, that is, that increased DHEA in utero increases "male" orientation, growth and development of the pertinent part of the brain, in these girls. These girls are like boys in early play and later sexual orientation. The testosterone of puberty in these girls will simply intensify their orientation. Testosterone levels, on average, do not differ between heterosexual and homosexual women (Horm Behav 1987; 21: 347-57). The difference occurs in utero. (A male with extra DHEA in utero would simply have more "male" orientation.) No differences in CAH male childhood play or sexual orientation are found (J Sex Res 2004; 41: 75-81).

The same mechanism is in effect. Low DHEA in males in utero reduces "male" orientation and high DHEA in females in utero increases "male" orientation. These conditions are not chosen.

Just the facts,

FWIW, I once knew a guy whose fiance discussed with him her plan to dress their future child (if he were conceived and was male) as a girl.

He bolted.
