I had this idea coming from somewhere that gay-ness is occurred by mind body mismatch (No offense guys).

"In personality traits" chart, gay men appeared to be more feminine (or less masculine) while gay women appeared to be more masculine (or less feminine). But following this line of thoughts, in the "what's bigger: the sun or earth" chart, the gay men and women seemed to have the places switched.

Just something I noticed.



Gender dysphoria is pretty thoroughly described and catalogued seperately from the hetero/homo continuum. There may very well be correlation, but the idea that one causes the other is worthless without new data.


How exactly does a really basic general knowledge kinda question have a gender assigned to it?


Straight men and straight women were in opposite ends of the chart. So I thought the sequence is more likely to be straight men, gay women, gay men, straight women. I got it wrong thinking gay women are more masculine than gay men. Actually the chart looks ok to me (in my line of thought) now.
