That's just a quick look at the literature, and there have been other studies that aren't immediately popping up in the search terms I'm using. If you're interested, there's a lot out there.Muscarella F, Elias VA, Szuchman LT. Brain differentiation and preferred partner characteristics in heterosexual and homosexual men and women. Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2004 Aug;25(4):297-301.Berglund H, Lindstrom P, Savic I. Brain response to putative pheromones in lesbian women.Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006 May 23;103(21):8269-74. Epub 2006 May 16. Erratum in: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006 Jul 18;103(29):11098.Swaab DF. Sexual differentiation of the human brain: relevance for gender identity, transsexualism and sexual orientation. Gynecol Endocrinol. 2004 Dec;19(6):301-12. Review.Judge the science as you will. It's a complex area, and a lot more study (and replication most importantly) needs to be done.Edit: And we're probably going too off topic now. My apologies.</blockquote>
