Thyroxine Causes Lesbianism

Well now, this is an interesting piece of news! According to an article in the UK’s Sunday Times, when pregnant women take a thyroid medication called thyroxine the chances increase that their daughter will be a lesbian. Certain diet pills - those based on amphetamines - cause a similar effect. This research was from Minot State University, located in North Dakota.
This study sounds awfully farfetched to me. The debate has been going on for decades as to what causes homosexuality, whether it’s biological or caused by environmental factors. I don’t expect these results are going to change much about that debate.
