ORIGINAL: Arpig quote:
But a bias against a gender preference (e.g. being biased against a homosexual person) is not the same as sexual preference. Sexual preference and what you have described as gender preference bias are two different things. No shit Einstein! You do realise that you have just agreed with my main supporting point in the bolded section, right? Now, just follow along carefully....according to you, a bias against a gender preference is not a sexual preference. Therefore, if you do not want a relationship (a bias against) with a bisexual (a gender preference), what you are dealing with is not a sexual preference. I'm glad you have finally seen the light. quote:
And you can't say it isn't genetic. What is a result of our genetics and what is a result of our environment in terms of our choices in life is still ongoing in studies. To make an unequivocal statement like that is rather arrogant. No it's not. It's common sense. If having a bias for or against a gender preference were genetic then it would not be alterable. However, as I pointed out, and as TJ has confirmed, a bias regarding a gender preference can indeed be changed...ergo, it is not genetic. quote:

Don't argue with the DM. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? CM's #1 All-Time Also-Ran (in reply to DeviantlyD) No, I don't agree with you because what I referred to as bias is societal, as in one person dismissing another person, as a human being, not as in a sexual partner. It's interesting how the term bias has made a late appearance in your arguments. With reference to your genetics comment, you stated it had nothing to do with genetics because it was unrelated to gender. And my argument is that just because sexual orientation isn't a gender doesn't mean it can't be related to genetics. You've somewhat skewed things again.
