Veronica Drantz on the Biology of Gender, Intersex and Sexual Orientation.



In 26 concise minutes, Dr. Drantz an animal physiologist lays to waste social myths about gender and sexuality in all its variations with plenty of just good science. She pulls no punches in attacking both the religious and social misinformation and wrong attitudes toward LGBTI people and their conditions and behavior. If I could summarize, atypical is not abnormal and the variation in genetic and hormonal effects on the reproductive organs, body and especially brain during prenatal development that we observe in animals and humans are well described and understood in terms of biology and physiology.

The made up nonsense that the Conservative religions promote as explanations of LGBTI behavior are exposed. She also takes the medical community to task for moving much too slow away from the social attitudes towards LGBTI people that are primarily religion-promoted and have no basis in reality.

This is a classic example of the clash between scientific knowledge and religious claims. Religions are bastions of old ideas that must give way to new knowledge.

Information Kills Religion.

Thank you Dr. Drantz for providing a clear, concise summary of the reality of gender and sexual variance. If every high school kid in America was taught the biology of the prenatal development of sex and gender, the bullshit we hear repeated about “choice” and “sin” and the strict male/female dichotomy would disappear even quicker than it already is.

end religion now.
