Your opinion is not as valid as the opinion of an lgbt+ person. Same for cis people when talking about trans stuff, or white people when talking about PoC stuff, ...

OK I just wanted to clarify. Thank you. And yes, I agree that rarely is anything 100% influenced by only nature or nurture. Your statement about gray/white matter just gave ...
