LIKE I SAID, THEY’RE ALL FEMALE AND THIS IS WHY

*Reverse dimorphism*

—“Another big study is going on at UCLA, this one of discordant for homosexuality. I believe this is the study that resulted from Sven Bocklandt’s work that found some extreme skewing of the X in a hefty % of mothers of gay men.

Bocklandt thought this might mean that epigenetics explained things, that in gay men, genes from the mother that we always thought silenced were turned on.

I don’t know the state of that very large study. Last I read, Bockandt had taken a job with a private genetics company. He had been working with Charles Roselli, the sheep guy up at Oregon State, I think it is, who is studying male-oriented rams. According to Bocklandt, Roselli gave him sheep brains to study.

I just checked the UCLA twin study site and it’s been changed to a facebook website. The remnants of the old site state:

Drs. Eric Vilain and Cisco Sánchez are currently doing a study using the DNA of identical male twin pairs where one is gay, and one is straight. Although these twins have the same DNA sequence, they might use those genes differently, and this different use might explain their difference in sexual orientation.

The lab is trying to identify which genes are regulated differently between the gay and straight twins. Please contact us if you’re interested in participating, or if you know of some twins might be interested.”—-
