The Evolution of Sexuality with Dearbhaile Casey, PhD

Tend Your Garden

HERE WE GO AGGGGGAAAAIIIINNNNN! The wonderful Dearbhaile Casey came on to TYG just to tell me that bisexuals are scientifically irrelevant. No I'm joking, (not about the bisexuals being scientifically irrelevant that's unfortunately deadly serious) she actually came on to talk to me about the Venn diagram of science and sexuality. She discussed the chromosomal difference between 'XX' and 'XY' chromosomes and how there is not a specific 'gay' gene but that is not to say your genes and your chromosomal make-up do not influence your sexuality. We discussed how we should *not* be comparing ourselves to animals, instead we should be funding research into chronically under-researched communities. Dearbhaile also highlights how there is no default state, heterosexuality is not the default state. We also chat bonobo porn, complex traits, the importance of Christina Aguilera's song Dirty and being a woman in STEM.
