This is interesting:

More and more people have friends, family members, and co-workers who are ex-gay, and so it’s becoming increasingly difficult to deny their existence. Some of these ex-gays are in wonderful, heterosexual relationships and have been for decades. Others have seen a real decrease in same-sex attraction in their lives, for which they’re thrilled. And others are still attracted to the same sex but recognize this as wrong in God’s sight and contrary to His design, and they are enjoying their new lives in God, even as singles. In all cases, “gay” no longer defines them, and there are too many of these precious men and women to ignore. In fact, I’m facing a new problem now. I’m getting flooded with requests to write endorsements or forewords to books by men and women who formerly lived as gay, bisexual, or transgender. That is who they were. It is not who they are. Not only so, but the whole myth of homosexuality being “innate and immutable” has been exposed, with some gay activists even saying that they don’t need to use the argument anymore, acknowledging that sexuality is fluid. As a recent headline in USA Today announced, “’Born this way’? It’s way more complicated than that.’” Regarding the notion that some people are born gay and can’t change – something that has been a central mantra of gay activism for decades – the article notes that, “many members of the LGBTQ community reject this narrative, saying it only benefits people who feel their sexuality and gender are fixed rather than fluid, and questioning why the dignity of gay people should rest on the notion that they were gay from their very first breath.” Old myths die hard, but they do eventually die.

I haven’t heard of there being enough ex-gays to change the minds of the LGBTQ community before, which makes me wonder if this is the beginning of a trend. Now that they mention it, the old mantra of “born this way” has given way to a constant use of “fluid” to describe sexuality.

If r/K Theory is correct, then homosexuality is just an over expression of the reversal in sex specific traits and preferences which you see in r-selected species. There, females grow masculine and aggressive to provision and protect the children they raise alone, while males become effete and feminine to facilitate avoiding and fleeing from conflicts with other males. As a result, sexual preferences also shift, with males preferring masculine traits in mates, and females preferring feminine traits, since each form is, respectively, the fittest model of the species in times of r-selection.

As the book showed, there is a study linking the 7r allele of the D4 dopamine receptor gene to homosexuality, and there is an anecdotal case of a dopamine agonist used to treat Parkison’s causing a strait male father to become a promiscuous homosexual, a situation which reverted back when he ceased use of the medication.

There is also intriguing evidence that an aggressive deficiency in development of part of the amygdala is linked to homosexuality.

So, expose someone to extreme dopamine, or the amygdala atrophy of r-selection, and their reproductive strategy, and presumably their sexual preferences in mates, can shift. Guys will prefer muscular, manly ball-busting women who bang like it is an Olympic sport, and women will gravitate to effete, conflict averse, socially manipulative hipsters. On occasion that shift in preferences may overshoot, producing men who desire so much masculinity they actually like men, and women who desire such femininity that they actually prefer outright women.

But that will also go the other way. Expose people to the harshness of K-selection, and their reproductive strategies will shift back, and with it should go the reversal in sexual preferences.

If all of that is correct, as r shifts to K, and dopamine is reduced and amygdala begin to get exercised, we may see the rise of the “ex-gay.” I imagine such would be confusing to the individuals involved, as they look back on their previous sexual tastes with a strange loss of interest in the past tastes, and a new preference having developed. However in light of r/K Theory, this would make perfect sense to them, so perhaps r/K can have another purpose as well, facilitating the transition of gays back to heterosexuality.

So, given how the gays hate the idea of their numbers being diminished, there is one more group which will be horrified by the spread of r/K Theory.

r/K Theory truly makes everything not only explainable, but predictable. I cannot imagine how cool it will be in fifty or a hundred years, as the next r-phase shifts from peak r into K, to be able to look back on all of this, know exactly what is coming, understand the mechanism behind all of it, and be able to see the last iteration in the form of youtube videos and news articles from this time.

I imagine the leftist panic will probably be epic, as they watch youtube videos of the pogroms and street executions of leftist traitors, and read accounts of the horrors their diverse pets will inflict upon them the moment the food grows scarce.

Good times coming all around, and they are all due to r/K Theory.

Tell others about r/K Theory, because panicked leftists, about to die, will be a funny sight
