Drug the Gay Away!
Jul. 1st, 2010 11:34 amPreventing Homosexuality (and Uppity Women) in the Womb? @ Bioethics Forum.
To summarise, some researchers are giving out a class C drug (not thoroughly tested on humans, but shown to be damaging to fetuses in the womb in animals) to women whose unborn girls may have Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. That's a condition that makes women's lady-bits look more "male" and such women tend to be, well, a little "queer" or less inclined to be the good little wife.
I don't know what else I can say, than what I said in a comment at Shakesville:
So you can take your dexamethasone and stick it up your bigoted arses.

Fuck you, researchers. I am not a deviation from a norm. I am beautifully, diversely, strangely, incomprehensibly DIFFERENT. I am not one or the other. I am not femme nor butch. I am not strictly gay or straight. I am not a tomboy or a girly-girl. I defy categorisation and so do so many women in this world and I tell you, the fight isn't easy to be different, but I would never, ever take that away from any child I might have that might share my make-up. I consider it a gift, a gift with problems but a gift nonetheless.
There's a song that was on HR Pufnstuf that I've remembered my whole life, that was sung by the wonderful Cass Elliot.
"Different is hard, different is lonely, different is trouble for you only. Different is heartache, different is pain. But I'd rather be different than be the same."
So you can take your dexamethasone and stick it up your bigoted arses.
