In defense of science, without seeing the full context of this tweet, looking a causes of an observable trait x is not in itself pathologising or x-phobic. If you look for it in order to intervene, that is. But it is a genuinely interesting question and defensible curiousness.

Exactly. "Defining characteristics" are sociologically divisive, especially when you try to mix genetics in to fuel that divisiveness, like Blanchard.

Sorry, I've lost you. You said you don't think the word is misused but you also agree with me that claiming LGBT people have a different trait is wrong?

I think you put it better than me. A collection of traits. My cold-addled brain is running on slow.

I'm sorry you're sick! I'm still confused because I do not think LGBT is a collection of traits.

I just saw this response out of context and thought to myself "Oh no, this is the point in the conversation when someone calls comeone sick. I knew I should have resisted to comment"

Please don't get sick!

I am ill, too in fact. All these tweets were written under the influence of paracetamol. And anyway, I'm not Ferenc, I'm his lawyer, and I meant to say something completely different.

I think I had/have a cold too... but I haven't really suffered from it. I do have the flu shot, so I at least don't get flus any more.
