| Apr 9 at 20:30 | comment | added | ac15 | @Conifold my best guess at a "solution" would be something like " 'clusters' of traits/characteristics near/around (the most common) secondary sex characteristics", which I think is more or less what you also have in mind. it may not account for behavioural traits though | |
| Apr 8 at 22:54 | comment | added | Conifold | Something only describable in biological terms, vaguely, and even that gets modified under social influences. | |
| Apr 8 at 21:01 | comment | added | ac15 | @Conifold what would you say we would be born to be attracted to or to identify with, if we are at all? | |
| Apr 8 at 20:42 | comment | added | Conifold | Given the distinction, your phrasing is odd:"How is it that we are born bound to be attracted to some genders and not others, and to identify with some genders and not others..." Well, we are not born to be attracted to or identify with any genders, we are not even aware what those are before social conditioning. And gender roles certainly are different in Saudi Arabia vs US, say, while sex and orientation might be the same. | |
| Apr 8 at 18:21 | comment | added | ac15 | Orientation/sexuality having a genetic component also works under the first bullet point, so that one may read (at least part of) the question as "What does orientation being innate say about the possible objects of attraction?" | |
| Apr 8 at 18:18 | comment | added | ac15 | hi, @Conifold, yep, I guess most people by now know about these distinctions, and the question of course assume they are in play, so I'm note sure I understand your (first) point | |
| Apr 8 at 18:10 | comment | added | Conifold | There is a difference between biological sex and sexual orientation, and gender and gender roles, see sex/gender distinction. This is why your second bullet has "to some extent". Sexual orientation is suspected to have significant biological (genetic) component, but even if so, it does not determine how queer people behave socially. | |
