Fairness will always trump inclusion. Always has.

No. MRI can detect psychopathology without psychopathological behaviour manifesting.

Certain sections in the brain that manifest empathy do not activate in those born psychopathic.

However, generally if the psychopathic child is brought up well (without exposure to violence and abuse), then those genes (and epigenes) remain largely dormant. The psychopathology (such that it is in those people), will only manifest, for example, as never becoming emotional when watching a sad or empathy-arousing movie.

Check out MAO-A (monoamine oxidase A), the so-called 'warrior gene'.

Patterns of behaviour are necessarily partly genetic and epigenetic - there's no getting around that. They're just not the alpha-and-omega of behaviour.

After 5 pages, someone is discussing the topic of the thread.  Not everything is genetic, as I already said. 

it still has to be, in a large part,  a 'social contagion".

if it was genetic we would see very small changes in numbers of trans.

yet we see a 1800 % increase in teenage females in the USA wanting to transition to men in the last decade

this is fueled by feelings of inadequacy in teenage girls looking at "babes" on instagram along with a lot of "cheering on for their bravery", these awkward girls when they "come out"

you reward a behaviour, you get more of it.

thats not genetic, thats pavlovian social conditioning

No they don't.

Patterns of behaviour, ability and pathology necessarily have a genetic component. How could they not? We are all predisposed to respond to our environment through our genes and the epigenes that control them.

However, genes and epigenes are not the alpha-and-omega of behaviour, but they predispose us to a pattern of behaviour as they respond to nurture.

All this is a societal wrecking ball to destroy any semblance of normality
any semblance of basic human biology that you see in the bees
and you see in the birds -
imagine if someone in a demon outfit showed up next to a baby giraffe and
said hi I'm a demon -
be inclusive - don't be mean to me -
let me wear demon horns - and come up and look
like a complete alien from another planet -
let a space alien - by the way this is a program -
they dress up like space aliens -
all over the United States and all over the world -
I told you -
in horrible demon psychopath outfits
that they pity....? look beautiful -
and they show up and they have their way with your children
in demon outfits -
I mean if you've got men that look like 400 pound goblin demons
with your children
there's nothing you won't put up with -
there isn't a species on the planet that would let something that looks like
a space alien get up close to its kids but
only in America does it happen and I'm sick of it -
I'm tired of it - right now - I can't handle it anymore - owwww.

Deus ex machina?

I guess when you drive a car, you don't expect there to be an engine under the hood or if you do, is every engine the same to you?

Why can't a moped travel at 250km/hr?
