Were You Born 'Mentally Intersex'?

Could it be that males who are attracted to other males were born with a 'level' of the Biologically Mentally Intersex/Bisexual condition?

Research from the 70's has shown us that since all fetus are initially female. During the first trimester, once the fetus is triggered to be male, the mother must provide a version of testosterone in order to complete the transformation of the female mentally and physically into male. However, if the mother is stressed during the first trimester(bad relationship, fear, too many children, bad living conditions, overworked, taking birth control pills during the first trimester when pregnant, taking estrogen shots, etc), she floods her body with estrogen, which blocks the supply of testosterone to the fetus that was triggered to be male.

The result after the first trimester is a 'level' of mental 'gender identity' male, with a 'level' of mental (gender identity) female remaining based on the lack of testosterone provided by the mother. The more Intersex the male child is, the less of a desire he will have to procreate with females.

What has received less attention in the medical community and in the media, is large and growing number of Mentally Intersex males. Due to their low levels of the intersex condition that impact their gender identity (hypothalamus), these males may be biologically male physically, but their gender identity is various levels of Intersex. Most don't know this and tend to hide under the gay umbrella with other people with various gender/sexual 'differences'.

For example: Low Level Mentally Intersex would be males who are more attracted to females, but still have an attraction to other males. These males tend to consider themselves as 'Bi-Sexual'.

Mid Level Mentally Intersex would be males who are to a lesser degree attracted to females, but are more attracted to males. These males tend to consider themselves 'Gay'.

Higher Level Mentally Intersex would be males who feel no sexual attraction for females, but are only attracted to other males. These males tend to also have more physical female attributes of the traditional Intersex or Hermaphrodite person.

Understanding the varying degrees of the Mentally Intersex condition, it becomes obvious why there is so much conflict and rejection between these males, since they are vastly different from a mental gender identity perspective.

I will talk more about the conflict in the next post...
