Ok so I guess the entire animal planet is just mentally ill then all because they ALL engage in same sex behaviour. That makes perfect sense.... :/
Laws of nature need not apply.
The vast majority of animals aren't engaging in such acts. WTF are you even talking about? Only a very few in isolated phenomenon which can definitely be categorized as illness.
According to Bagemihl (1999), same-sex behavior (comprising courtship, sexual, pair-bonding, and parental activities) has been documented in over 450 species of animals worldwide.
Do some research before you spout off misinformation. You will easily find several sources confirming homosexuality in animals with a simple google search.
And almost all, if not all, reference Bagemihl's ridiculous book. Its pathetic. Its a dumb argument for a dumb argument because why are you basing your behavior on an animal anyway?
The entire point is that a great many species including humans engage in homosexuality. It is not an uncommon occurrence today or throughout history. Not a mental illness as he says.
If you're going to rubber stamp any human behavior as 'normal' because some animals may do it, that's just fuckin insanity on your part. Animals shit in public - do you?
You're actually doing a pretty good job of proving your own mental illness, when you claim to use animal behavior as a litmus test for what is acceptable human behavior.
So its not a mental illness for people to do something as long as animals do it? You're an idiot. My dog eats cat shit - is that ok for people to do at your house?
There are people who eat shit, and like it. Coprophilia. Which is not currently considered a mental illness unless the person eating shit is obsessed or distressed about it.
It was a continuation of a conversation with someone else. TrashPosterinthe Dark or whatever his name, said that homosexuality amongst animals was only an isolated few and far between.
Not agreeing or disagreeing with your conclusion but "animals do it so we should too" is an extremely dumb argument. By that logic we should also be murderors, cannibals, polygamous...
The argument wasn’t animals donit so we should too. The argument was that homosexuality isn’t an uncommon occurrence that is seen in animals and humans and It’s not perverted.
Ok, I've seen many dogs that habitually eat feces. If a human does that, is it perverted? Your argument is non-sequitur. One statement has literally nothing to do with the other.
Now that we are talking about literally eating sh*t I think we are officially off topic and the entire point of the conversation is lost. I’m going to politely exit&bow out now 😂
When trying to find the line where acts are considered "perverted" you need to find a few things that fit (hopefully!?)obviously into that category and then ask why. Simple logic.
I've skimmed through it - its a joke. His "references" are just other people giving opinions like he is, and its poorly written. Not scientific at all.
Animals can not get ill. They are by definition always healthy, because their diseases are natural. Not the unnatural diseases we get, like smartphone disease. (Joking.)
You specifically stated in regards to homosexuality in animals “Only a very few in isolated phenomenon which can definitely be categorized as illness.” I provided proof your wrong.
It is proven &scientifically documented that homosexuality in the animal kingdom is a common occurrence. Not an isolated instance categorized as illness as you state. So ya your wrong.
In 1973, (APA) asked all members attending its convention to vote on whether they believed homosexuality to be a mental disorder. 5,854 psychiatrists voted to remove homosexuality
The American Psychiatric Association is propaganda? Omg Ok, I have provided numerous reliable sources all showing your incorrect. You are only believing what you want to hear. Ignorant
I am done with your nonsense. You have been provided many reliable sources that show your incorrect and you have only spouted tin foil hat theory. Your ignorant by choice. Goodbye.
From a Psychiatric perspective, if something does not cause distress it is not a disorder. A man feeling like an alien (but being cool with it) is not a mental disorder (psychiatric).
You quote the APA as saying LGBTQ is a mental illness and I show a reliable source stating the exact opposite directly from the APA saying LGBTQ is Not mental illness. Evolve your mind
MetalBrushes, who are you virtue signalling to? Is it a #memo.cash guy who's dick, soaked in your very own faeces, blood and colon secretions, you like to suck? Seek help, U R ill!
Only vaginal secretions are safe for consumption. (Joking). People are arguing for what is perverted and not, but nobody asks: Is it wrong to be perverted? (My answer: No, not really).
Your sources are as good as using the scientific studies of the Catholic Church during the Inquisition. Abandoning studies because of propaganda is everything but science.
Omg Ok your pointless to talk to. Your like one of those people who believe the earth is flat even though there is definitive proof that it is round. Have fun tin foil hat boy. Bye
“Animal sexual behaviour may be tied more strongly to establishment and maintenance of complex social bonds across a population which support its success in non-reproductive ways.”
Yup over 450 different species engage in regular homosexual behaviour and in your eyes the LGBTQ community cherry picked that fun fact only to support thei cause. Common Lady!
There is no scientific argument in there. 450 species is litterally a drop in the ocean. And also the term "regular" is used the same way that flu is a "regular" illness.
u r simultaneously arguing against an appeal to nature (other species are homosexual) while making an appeal to nature (reproduction, the natural purpose of sex, is the only moral sex)
I think masturbation is pretty common among human men, that is one common perverted thing to do. So common that some see it as perverted to 100% avoid.
APA asked all members attending its convention to vote on whether they believed homosexuality to be a mental disorder. 5,854 psychiatrists voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM
5854 out of how many? Anyways, psychiatrists care about the well being of people, if something does not cause distress for a person it is not something psychiatric consider disorder.
"Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness.” Sigmund Freud 1935
Anyone that masturbates would at the very least have to concede to being a pervert themselves first if reproduction is the only non-perverted sexual act:P (I may be a pervert, maybe).
“with much greater sexual diversity – including homosexual, bisexual&nonreproductive sex than the scientific community and society at large have previously been willing to accept."
