Is this worth commenting on? http://www.365gay.com/news/doctor-discovers-possible-“cure”-for-lesbiansfeminists/

No need for me to set this into context. The link says it all.

"....New is currently administering the experimental dexamethasone parentally as a solution to the excess hormones caused by CAH without the approval of a medical ethics committee. There is little clinical data about the drug’s long-term affects or potential risks to the children administered the drug. New, and associates, however, hope to cure the masculine affects of CAH, creating women who conform to the heteronormative gender binary.

There is no evidence to suggest that New is using the drug directly to cure lesbianism; but if the drug is released onto the market, doctors have the ability to prescribe it for condition they deem adequate."....

Kind of contradicts the article title.....

The thing that worries me is that I never believed that homosexuality was an ailment or required a cure.

"Sorry, I can't come into work today."

"Why is that?"

"Well, I've been diagnosed as a Lesbian. I'm ill."

If it's an ailment then everyone can get long term disability leave, can't they?

What a brilliant idea, Timmy. Pity you didn't think of it when the professions classified homosexuality as a disorder.

I think the RC church still does. Could a priest get time off for illness by coming out?

I wonder.
Love,
Anthony

I can't take any credit for it. The idea's as old as classifying homosexuality as an illness

... is why is it necessary to try to identify a "cause" or a "gene" or whatever in the first place. Somehow or the other this smacks of the 1930's and our good friends the National Socialists all over again.

Diversity is what makes the human idiom interesting; how boring it would be if we all walked the same, talked the same, looked the same, and above all else, behaved the same.
