The Sissy Boy Experiment and Why You Can't "Cure" the Gay

[Joelcool7]

I love how people are commenting about this guy and how he was meant to be gay based on how he acted as a child. I have to say the premise of this experiment was absurd.

When I was younger I played barbies with my sister and did tea parties and shit. Played dress up etc...etc.. I grew up with a sister and single mom so I grew up very in touch with my feminin side. Today my friends consider me a MetroSexual. But to believe for a second that every guy who enjoys female passtimes is gay is pretty funny.

Now my audio on my computer is not working so I can't view the videos. But from the sound of it the doctor was trying to cure homosexuality by preventing what he thought to be a major cause. However I bet that this kid may never have been gay at all. Infact telling him from a young age that he was going gay, probably had a profound psychological effect on the child.

If you go through life always being told your something. Getting punished and mistreated and called something. Sooner or later you begin to think that you are that thing. I know a gay person who grew up with a mom who told him from very young that she never wanted a boy she wanted a girl. She dressed him in skirts and raised him as a girl, years later he came out of the closet and she was so happy. Fact is do i think he was born gay? No I don't but having that psychological pressure to be gay would definatly alter your viewpoint of yourself.

Now I find it funny that the doctor was found to be gay. What does that really matter? Wouldn't that have made him an expert on homosexuality as he claimed to be? I don't know why that was even used in the article, its not really useful information. So the expert on homosexuality was infact gay. So what?

Now let me clarify, this was a horrible experiment. It was done horribly and would have had very lasting psychological effects on the child. The doctor's treatment could have actually driven this child to believe he was gay whether he was biologically or not. But look at all the horrible things psychologysts and psychiatrists have done. Labotamies chaining people up in rooms , electro shock therapy. This was the 70's doctors were idiots.

Mistreating this poor child was wrong, absolutely deplorable. Look at what scientists and doctors are willing to do to prove their thesis. To prove their theories, scientists will do all kinds of horrible things to advance the name of science. To argue this man wasn't a scientist is sort of laughable. He just had methodology which is unnacceptable to modern society. But for the 70's he didn't really do much that wasn't being done by other scientists.

Look at Autism for example. Doctors tried electrocuting patients , frying their brains. They tried solutary confinement and lobotamy. Fact is those were also doctors and scientists.

So this one guy doing this to a gay kid, really Sapphi what about all the scientists and doctors who did the same horrible things or even worse to other mental patients. I find it funny that in all these years I have never seen a thread about how these kinds of treatments were used to deal with other mental patients. But when its done to a gay kid suddenly its a huge topic and everyone cares.
