Do you think that people are born asexual and agender?

I think so.

People make homosexuality, bisexuality and any sexuality other than heterosexuality sound so wrong. Even people who aren't homophobic make it sound like heterosexuals are normal and homosexuals are just a separate branch. Also, people think that just because you have a penis, you are a boy. The biggest part of your gender is in your head. Most people's brains identify with their bodies, but some don't.

I think that we are all born asexual and the only reason why children seem to be attracted to the opposite sex is because of the extreme PRESSURE that media, society and even parents put on them. There is NO pity! Everything is heterosexual.

I think that if someone were to raise a child, make him wear neutral clothing, make him play neutral games, watch movies without love stories and make everything neutral, the child would more easily be what he wants to be.

We shouldn't mold kids into anything. We should only raise them to be good people, not to be people we want them to be.

Of course, I'm not saying that you should give your female child a masculine name or not give toy trucks to your male child. Also, I think it's fine to give your child the pronoun of his birth sex (she for a female and he for a male). It's not to prevent the kid from identifying with anything, just to let him be what he wants.

Does any of this make sense?

    i think that people are born certain ways but it doesn't become apparent to the person until they are forced to decide in some way by social pressures. even if you never tell a child there is a difference between boys and girls there will come a day that the physical ones are made very clear.

    No. I don't think we're born agender or asexual. Unless that person is, in fact agender/asexual, that is. But I agree that parents should stop putting so much pressure on their kids to fit into a mold of what they're supposed to be depending on the genitals they were born with. It would be a lot easier if everyone were agender, that way there would be no sexism or discrimination against sexes.

    Yes I think they are born that way just like homosexuals are.

    yes we are...both the scientists & the bible say so (mattew: blessed are the eunuchs BORN of their mothers wombs (asexual) or who were made eunuchs (castrations) or who are eunuchs by choice (celibacy). let any accept this who can.)
