Very interesting! Now would it have the same effect in humans? Would be interesting.

I see no reason to downvote this... weren't LGBTQ people arguing for the longest time that there is a biological causation? They may have finally found it, though it is not genetic like they hoped for. Either way it is interesting.

Unfortunately it's not all too uncommon these days to simply assume (project?) bigotry and treat innocent people like crap over that assumption.

It's only studied in rats, so we basically don't know. I cannot access the original paper so I can't discern exactly how much fungus these rats were fed. Given what usually happens with such papers, it's probably an extreme amount. I wouldn't put too much credence into it.

It's still genetic, just not human genes ;)

The lowering of testosterone in the average male due to environmental and other factors definitely seems to correlate with a rise in the amount of LGBTQ. Of course society accepting them more and allowing them to come out is a big part too.

No doubt that eating clean, working out, etc seem to make you feel more masculine as a guy.
