Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

Is there an intersex connection here?

I wonder if the intersex research that is being funded by Federal Agencies such as the NICHD has been involved in helping promote this idea of a gay bomb.  Sherri Berenbaum, one of the leading intersex researchers and J Michael Bailey have an ongoing project just for studying hormones and other possible factors as the cause of sexual orientation and they are using intersex subjects for this research.  Another well-known intersex researcher funded by the federal government and who is in the same NICHD funded group along with Berenbaum and Bailey, Eric Vilain,  is also using intersex subjects to try to determine the cause of homosexuality and gender identity. It does make one wonder what their research aims really are.  However, one thing we don’t have to wonder about is their pre-occupation with intersex research subjects.  They are using us to determine the cause of every other “disorder” (their word, not mine) of sex development.  The man who is assisting the famous intersex researchers who are using us to determine the causes of homosexuality wrote the following article which was published in a very serious academic journal in the United States.  It is an article justifying the eugenic elimination of gay foetuses  from the gene pool once we know what causes people to be gay.

These researchers are the ones who were instrumental in changing the very word we use to describe ourselves, "intersex" and make it a "disorder of sex development."  (1) Those of us directly affected by this terminology and the medical and legal consequences which will result from such a change were not consulted.  We were simply informed that this was better for us.  With "friends like these", maybe we need to research "homophobic bombs".  I wonder if these researchers would be funded if they were looking for the causes of homophobia and how to end it?

(1) Eric Vilain takes credit for changing the terminology from intersex to DSD.  This is a quote from a recently published article in Scientific Armerican.

"At the 2005 Intersex Consensus Meeting in Chicago, he stood before a group of 50 geneticists, surgeons, psychologists and other

specialists and argued that terms such as "hermaphrodite," male or female "pseudohermaphrodite" and "intersex" were vague and hurtful. Instead of focusing on a newborn's confusing mix of genitals and gonads, he urged his colleagues to let the explosion of new genetic findings point toward a more scientific approach. Rather than using "hermaphrodite," for instance, he recommended referring to a "disorder of sexual development" (DSD) and applying the more precise term of "ovatesticular DSD."

Although the attendees eventually concurred, not everyone likes the new terminology. Some who prefer "intersex" feel that a "disorder" is demeaning. Milton Diamond, who studies sex identity at the University of Hawaii, complains that it stigmatizes people who have nothing wrong with their bodies."
