My title is actually sarcasm, because individuals from the LGBT community cannot have any special rights in principle 🙂 They differ from other people in just one area of neurons...
What is this area?
Our brain has a special region with a complex name— the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). It turns out that this nucleus is responsible for body perception. That is, even during brain formation in the womb, information is "recorded" in this region—"your body is male" or "your body is female."
Why does this happen?
Unfortunately, not every pregnancy goes smoothly. Various substances can "damage" this region of the fetus through the mother's body (approximately 25-30 weeks of pregnancy).
It has been relatively well established that these include certain hormonal medications (for example, contraceptives, anabolic steroids), as well as antiepileptic drugs (phenobarbital, diphantoin). However, the full spectrum of such substances remains to be discovered. Perhaps there is a common external factor that affects the neurons of this nucleus. Perhaps this region is not the only one involved in these disorders, as the number of such disorders increases every year.
The word "damage" has a slightly different meaning. The substances described above distort the "recording" of accurate information about the body. For example, a male fetus develops in the womb, but the substances the mother ingests prevent the body from forming "male" neurons. As a result, an outwardly healthy child is born. But as they grow up, they don't accept their body with male sexual characteristics. A striking example of this is the creators of the film The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers, who became sisters . 😁
Similarly, girls who want to be boys after growing up (actress Ellen Page). Based on this, we can assume other abnormalities associated with this region. For example, when neither "male" nor "female" neurons are formed. Perhaps this is where abnormalities such as non-binary personalities and so on originate.
So, the next time you see LGBT propaganda on Netflix (shoutout to the creators of Operation Hyacinth 🙂 ), at parades, and elsewhere, know that it's being done by sick people who believe they're special 🙂 Of course, this doesn't mean they should be ostracized, but it also doesn't mean illness should be glorified. After all, no one organizes parades for schizophrenics or psychopaths 😁
From a scientific standpoint, this is a very promising area for research. Whoever comes up with a cure for this disease can get the Nobel Prize (of course, if the jury is not from LGBT representatives 😁 )
