"Taoism. Life is Androgynous, i.e., It contains within itself both the
masculine and the feminine factors (Yin&Yang). The male and the female of
Creation come from One Principle; Mankind, coming from Unity, is both
male and female, and has, within himself, both attributes of Yin & Yang. In
some the male predominates; in others the female. We have two distinct
types in man and woman; they are types of one fundamental principle.
Science: "Doctor Kosofsky, Is it true that the hypothalamus is
formed in the first few weeks of pregnancy?" His response was affirmative,
"Most parts of the brain are formed in the first trimester..." (i.e. the first three
months of pregnancy).
Embryology teaches that early embryos all start out as female. At some point
in early gestation, if the chromosomes destine the fetus to be male, this
female embryo is altered by the genetically programmed addition of certain
hormones, called androgens. These androgens, especially testosterone,
instruct the embryo to develop male characteristics. In their absence, the
embryo continues to develop into a female.
An "XX" pair of chromosomes will yield a female; an "XY" pair will result in a
male. The "X" is always contributed from the mother (since she has only
"X's"), but the father can contribute either an "X" or a "Y"-- so it is the father's
genetic contribution that determines the gender of the child. Homosexual
men have "XY" pairs which are typically male in all respects.
If all homosexual men have the same chromosomes as heterosexual males,
what makes their hypothalamus different? This inquiry received no definitive
commitment from my learned friend at Harvard, but he did refer me to some
studies where I could find the answer.
In a paper published almost a quarter of a century ago, a research
psychologist at Villanova University was also puzzled about gender. Dr.
Ingebog Ward was studying the sexual behavior of rats, years before the role
of the hypothalamus was even suspected of gendering human brains. She
divided a group of pregnant rats into three groups. Suspecting that
something special might be happening in the early stages of pregnancy, she
subjected the first group to stress during the first ten days of gestation by
irritating the mother rats to bright lights, noise and annoying vibrations. Ten
days in a rat's pregnancy corresponds to the first trimester (3 months) of a
human pregnancy. The second group was subjected to stress towards the
end of their pregnancy, just before birth. The third group was comprised of
male offspring from both prenatal stressed mothers and unstressed mothers.
These babies were subjected to the same stress producing stimuli.
Dr. Ward then allowed all the males to grow to adulthood without further
interference. She then placed each group of males in cages with healthy
females to observe if their ability and desire to mate with normal adult
females. Here is what happened.
"Abstract: Male rats were exposed to prenatal (i.e. before they were born) or
postnatal (after they were born) stress, or both. The prenatally stressed
males showed low levels of male copulatory behavior and high rates of
female lordotic responding. Postnatal stress had no effect. The
modifications are attributed to stress-mediated alterations in the ratio of
adrenal to gonadal androgens during critical stages of sexual differentiation.
Specifically, it appears that stress causes an increase in the weak adrenal
androgen, androstendione, from the maternal fetal adrenal cortices, or both,
and a concurrent decrease in the potent gonadal androgen, testosterone."
Parental Stress Feminizes and Demasculizes the Behavior of Males,
Science, January 7, 1972 (83-84).
Her findings showed that if a mother is stressed during the early stages of
pregnancy, she will release an adrenaline related hormone into her own
bloodstream and that of her unborn baby. This hormone, called
androstendione, is structurally similar to testosterone, the male hormone. If
the baby carries "XY" chromosomes and is destined to become a male,
testosterone needs to be active when the Central Nervous System (including
the hypothalamus) is being formed. This is the only way that the CNS
"knows" to develop along male lines. Because the stress hormone seems to
bind to the receptors that would normally be receiving testosterone, there is
the delay or blockage of the effectiveness of testosterone, even if it is
plentiful.
In 1972, Dr. Ward had no idea that androstendione in male pregnancies
would prevent or inhibit the hypothalamus to develop into a healthy male
brain, but this stress-related hormone now appears to do just that. The brain
makes its gender committment very early in development and, once
committed to either male or female, it can not change. The interference
with testosterone in the later stages of pregnancy, or after birth, does little or
nothing to inhibit primary gender development of the other organs of the
body.
In Doctor Ward's own words:
"...The present data support the hypothesis that exposure of pregnant rats to
environmental stressors modifies the normal process of sexual behavior
differentiation in male fetuses by decreasing functional testosterone and
elevating androstenedione levels during prenatal development. During stress
conditions plasma testosterone emanating from the gonads decreases while
adrenal androstenedione rises. The molecular structure of the two
androgens, being very similar, it is postulated that the two hormones
compete for the same receptor sites. Since androstenedione is a less
potent androgen than testosterone, the decrease in male copulatory ability
and increased lordotic potential seen in the prenatally stressed animals of
the present study would be expected. The relative difference in potency
between testosterone and androstendione has been repeatedly
demonstrated.
It is therefore possible that while the body and organs of an animal can be a
"male," the brain can coincidentally be "female."
there is also an intermediate sex; that is, one in which the two attributes
seem to be almost equally balanced but the physical body says one gender
and the hypothalamus gland tells the brain different. Science has proven
that the brain in the intermediate sexes, development of hypothalamus
glands are different than that of Heterosexuals. Dr. Harry Harlow's famous
studies with Rhesus monkeys demonstrated that such things as love and the
ability to nurture healthy children was a learned skill that could be altered by
post-natal experiences. This non-biologic effect may play a role in female
homosexuality and may also be a contributing factor in the degree to which
male homosexuality is either expressed or repressed. So another of life's
perplexing questions has been resolved by science. This consistently
occurring phenomenon has been labeled everything from a "terrible sin" to a
form of mental illness or even Demon possessed. It should perhaps, in light
of the hypothalamus discovery, be viewed as part of the natural variety of
human biology. As such, it could be protected from slander by our strong
admonitions prohibiting discrimination based on gender or a congenital
disability. A violation of any human privileges against males with a
"feminized hypothalamus" ought to be seen as an affront to basic civil rights.
As we evaluate new scientific understanding, antiquated prejudices need to
be cast off, letting the functions of nature show us how to live in harmony, to
foster compassion to devote our attention to more important moral issues. If
you seek the truth, you will eventually find it. And the truth, however elusive,
will ultimately set us free.
Under Kirllian photography the aura is also different. This results in proof that
Homosexuality is not learned or a matter of choice and can not be forced to
change. Psychology is running like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to
keep up with the advancements in Science. The greatest men and women
of the ages have belonged to this intermediate type.
The Bible and Homosexuality
The old testament refers to Sodom and Gomorrah which is the first time we
see the word Homosexual but actually the old testament was written in
Ancient Hebrew and the word used was "Qadesh" (QDS) By definition was
male prostitute, male cult prostitutes, and male cult shrines .
It was common in Sodom and Gomorrah for young boys to dress like women
and sell themselves to travelers for a night and shrines and temples were
built to Hebrew Sex cults in this honor. We don't see the word Homosexual
in Aramaic which was the language used by Jesus because Jesus never
brought this subject up or was never important to be asked about it. After
Jesus Ascended from the Cross. "Arsenokoitai" is a Greek word that
appears to have been created by Paul when he was writing Romans & 1
Corinthians 6:9-10. No record remains of any writer having using the term
before Paul. It has been translated as "abusers of themselves with mankind"
in the King James Version (KJV):"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not
inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind", Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
"Arsenokoitai" is made up of two parts: "arsen" means "man"; "koitai"
means "beds." In 1 Timothy the word used was Malakos which was a
common word used to describe one who was soft in character or
effeminately Vain, indulging in ritual baths, self looks, painted faces, exotic
colorful clothing. Although the word in English Bibles is interpreted as
referring to homosexuals, we can be fairly certain that this is not the meaning
that Paul wanted to convey. If he had, he would have used the word
"paiderasste." That was the standard Greek term at the time for sexual
behavior between two males. We can conclude that he probably meant
something different than people who engaged in male-male adult sexual
relationships.
Love is the Givingness of the self. But energy must have some outlet. It is
only when the unexpressed desire remains in the subjective mind that
destruction follows in its wake and strews the shores of time with human
derelicts. Liberty and license, freedom and bondage, heaven and hell,
happiness and misery, good and bad, all, all, are tied up in human desires.
Energy is energy and will be expressed or blow the top off, just as a pipe will
stand only so much pressure before bursting. Millions are daily being blown
up, mentally and physically, through the suppression of desires. Desire is a
dynamic force and must be taken into account. Society suppressing
homosexuals for so long has the pressure built up to the limits. The true
meaning of love is a wonderful thing; for it is the desire of the soul to express
itself in terms of creation. Creation is brought about only through the
self-givingness of the lover to the object of his love. This is why, when we love
people unconditionally, we will go to the limit to help or serve them; nothing is
too great, no sacrifice is enough. The true lover gives all and is unhappy in
not having still more of him to give to the object of his adoration. It is our
teaching through Love that we love all, not selected few. All sexes are
encouraged to put God first in everything they do. Jesus loves all and
forgives all. The teaching against Adultery and promiscuity does pertain to
all, and being truly committed to your mate is for everyone. Not just
heterosexuals. As long as you put Jesus first in everything you do, you will
receive blessings beyond all comprehension."
