Right . Once the words leave the page and enter the reader ' s mind , they are no longer the author ' s to interpret . Perfect analogy . <| sep |> Because you said At my current state , I am . However , sexually speaking , this was volatile since around age 8 , and changed until around the age of 24 , when I learned . The fact that sexual orientation was volatile and changing , clearly shows that sexual orientation is capable of ' change '. Desire to fuck . Explain desire to have sex , as a means to why sexual orientation is solid and not fluid as you state . Simply seeking to have sex doesn ' t explain anything . You ' re explaining that a subsubstantial increase in same sex relationships , among a population of homosexuals , which is typically 25 % across the board in all nations , is responsible for an increase in bisexuality ? Correct me if I ' m wrong , but people have always had an evolutionary drive to reproduce or have sex , correct ? So why would people be getting all overboard with bisexuality all of a sudden ? Growing acceptance ? No . Understanding of why a body is oriented to something , at the epigenetic level , and understanding how psychological conditioning , which can change brain chemistry and evolution , is a rather more accurate hypothesis . When I began as a younger adult , to understand that brains can be affected by trauma when your young , in addition to having these attractions that weren ' t there before , clearly would tell me that the trauma effected the brain , in my case at least . Never felt any desire to fuck another man . Emotional or otherwise . Great , now how do you explain men just like yourself , who never are attracted to ' masculine ' traits , attracted to men , dressing up as women ? Confusion and information being interpreted by the brain being fooled into thinking there is fertility , is a viable hypothesis . Like you said , its a facsimile of a woman . No , Facsimile means ' exact ' copy , which isn ' t true . It ' s more pseudo like or false . I find manikins attractive when I pass by stores . Does this contradict your statement about being purely straight then ? How can you have attractions about intimate objects that have no chemical basis , yet your saying that you ' ve only ever been attracted to women ? Doesn ' t mean I have plastic fetish . Except , that trans , have in fact more than just visual displays of stirring chemicals and neurons inside your brain . Unless their toxic . Dude being gay , and choosing not participate in gay sex doesn ' t make you straight . So , if a man says he ' s gay , but never does anything that is homosexual in nature or otherwise observable , he ' s still gay ? Is a person a pedophile if he never has sex with children ? You still are avoiding the real question Is there evidence of change when it comes to sexual orientation ? Quit with the mental acrobatics . I ' m flattered , but I ' m really just curious on what you have to say . Whatever state of being makes you want to fuck men is irrelevant , its the fact that you want to fuck men that makes you not straight . This still sounds a little contradictory to what you stated earlier . Dude being gay , and choosing not participate in gay sex doesn ' t make you straight . So which is it then ? Is it wanting to have sex with men that makes you gay , or is it just the fact that you ' re attracted to men , that makes you gay ? And guess what its totally ok ! How do you know ? Ok in respect to what ?
