This is whacked.

aside from the generally unpleasant wording, as if it's tracing the occurance of some kind of disease, i find the idea that a mother's body treats a male child as invasive a bit weird... and this theory only traces 'causes' of male homosexuality- do they think lesbianism isn't really homosexuality or something? what kind of study on homosexuality only looks at males?

I have heard the "mother's body treats a... child as invasive" bit before (though not specifically the male child part) -- and while I'm out of my depth on the specifics, I do remember that there's something where nutrients/energy/something is passed back and forth across a wall, 'cause if the mother's bloodstream came in contact with her child's, her white blood cells would treat this as an invasion. Though perhaps this is more related to different blood types.

There is something in there that isn't just a product of my imagination... honest!

*pats you* of course dear.

i've heard the concept before, but only from feminists declaring that 'feotuses are parasites and so we can abort them as we please'.
that line of logic really annoys me...
