What I mentioned was along the lines of the current medical consensus. There have been widely unpublicised experiments performed on male rats in which they're given anti-androgens during crucial periods of development, when surges of testosterone are necessary for the development of normal male brains. Needless to say, those mice that were given the anti-androgens displayed homosexual behaviour. I'm confused, because something like this
should be big news, but for the most part these studies have been ignored.
I first heard about this on a TV program on the ABC, I think it was called Catalyst, and I've heard a Psychiatrist named Dr T. Hance at the Royal Prince Alfred Hosptial in Sydney cite these studies. I did a quick internet search, but the results were vague.
