Nice attempt at shifting the burden of proof there.
You made the initial claim that the question has been settled and it's mostly environmental.
You need to actually demonstrate that and no, one study about one of many ways genetics can affect your sexuality, does not do that.
You stuck your foot in it when you threatened him with how genetics can actually work. My guess is that genetics actually has determined the structure of all those axonal highways that are in place in our brains at birth. I think it quite reasonable to believe that that structure leads to male on female mating most of the time. How that happens exactly is what got me into neuroscience in the first place. My big questions is how do genes wire a brain to prefer a .7 waist to hip ration across so many cultures. My guess now is that it does that indirectly because females have that ratio when they are by other conditions more likely to bear offspring. But who the hell knows for sure?
All we know is that this happens too damned much to be without mechanism.
