Salaam To All,

The following is an extract from one of my papers on human sexuality. I submit this in oder to establish the physical realities of sexual and behavioral differences between men an women. This should help increase understanding, and hence, knowledge, wisdom and peace between those men and women willing to learn:

The Brain as a Sex Organ

Scientists have known about physiologically guided differences between men and women for years, but the onslaught of feminist, homosexual and unisex ideations of social engineering policies—not to mention traditional taboos regarding sex education—have prevented this knowledge from consequently penetrating the public domain. As in all phenomena there is a range of the natural norm in sexuality including men who may be effeminate but not homosexual, as well as women with masculine traits who remain faithfully heterosexual. Numerous studies in embryogenesis reveal that human sexualization permanently affecting the actual form and function of the human brain occurs during 6-12 weeks of fetal development. A hadith supports this position:

“At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, ‘O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh.” Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks, O Lord Will it be male or female, a wretched or a blessed, and how much will his provision be. And what will his age be?’ So all that is written while the child is still in the mother’s womb.”36

If insufficient androgens (male hormones) are circulated at this time, chances increase that a genetically male fetus will develop a feminized brain that later dictates character traits describing the effeminate, homosexual or transsexual male respectively according to levels of hormone insufficiency during this time. On the other hand, if the fetus is female the brain may be dosed with an excessive surge of androgens that cause masculinized brain structures favoring male behavior and/or thought patterns, so that the babe may then become ‘Tom-boyish’, lesbian or even transsexual on maturation.37 In addition, there is second surge of masculinizing hormones permanently affecting the brain at 6 months of gestation if the fetus is a boy.

Prior to recognition of transsexualism as a disorder deserving medical and psychiatric attention many patients self-mutilated or committed suicide out of despair. Transsexual patients are helped by sympathetic assessment and intervention … A recent development in the pattern of patients presenting clinically are those with a transgendered identity popularly known as ‘the third sex’. These males or females do not request ‘sex change’. Rather, they want, if male, to be demasculinized and, if female, to be defeminized. Thus males want castration and penectomy but no oestrogen treatment and no neovagina, and females want mastectomy, perhaps hysterectomy, but no androgen treatment and no neophallus. These patients pose a dilemma for clinicians. The crux of patient management for gender identity disorder [Transexual] is the ‘Real Life Test’ including cross-sex hormonal treatment, the prelude to possible surgical alteration. Reversible procedures precede those that are irreversible in this management strategy. But with these third-sex patients, no ‘Real Life Test’ is possible. They do not have a trial period. Guidelines for testing the rationality and stability of their requests need to evolve from the body of clinicians currently attempting management of this unique population.

It is now clear that just as mercury has profound teratogenic effects on fetal developmental form and function—which places us in positions of guilt, pity and compassionate support for these profoundly handicapped victims—it appears we must also similarly reposition our perspective on sufferers of anomalous sexualization.

Notwithstanding this now valid postulation are the several sexual aberrations that are indeed socially conditioned such as fetishism, pederasty, sado-masochism, sexual addiction (satyriasis and nymphomania), hedonism, various paraphilias,39 religious and magickal sexual ritualism, as well as temporal homosexual proclivities such as take place in the prison environment. Most of these latter are subject to therapeutics of one or more medical disciplines. Nevertheless, these inclinations fall outside the pale of embryogenesis and fetal development, albeit not a small segment of those subject to the developmental sexual anomalies described above also fall prey to immoral and even criminal behaviors due to social ostracism and/or absolute censor. The problem is confounded further in the case of genetic anomalies such as hermaphrodism or infants with ambiguous genitalia because the sexual orientation of their brain is not known at the time of birth. Diagnostic procedures are still in the initial stages, bearing in mind the new data just mentioned. In the past the decision was made to surgically alter the baby and raise it as a female as this is usually the easiest and most successful path of least resistance naturally. But in the event the brain is masculinized, this creates an irresolvable identity crisis in later years. Some experts now recommend postponing surgical and hormonal intervention until the child manifests gender specific behavior usually during the fourth year. The incidence of sexualized brain anomalies is directly correlated with:

 severe stress or illness during early pregnancy;
 the use of certain prescribed drugs such as the BCP or those used for the treatment of diabetes and psychosis, as well as intoxication from illicit drug usage;
 eating chicken and beef raised with additional hormones may add to the imbalanced sexualized development of the brain during this crucial time of re-creation.

In addition to these findings, various types of brain scans and sophisticated physiological assessments demonstrate typically feminine brain patterns for adult homosexuals and masculine brain patterns for adult lesbians. These patterns are both structurally formative and functional. In other words they are developmentally anatomic (structural) and physiological (chemical) conditions that may be modified by medical intervention but never changed. The somatic development of the entire body also demonstrates different patterns of growth, mass and weight that are gender specific yet independent of brain sexualization. In addition, the Central Nervous System’s sexualization is gender specific for cognitive functions. Furthermore, there is convincing evidence of non-sex-chromosome involvement in the gestalt sexualization of the fetus. These scientifically established facts indicate that ‘choice’ is not an identitarian option for the sexual orientation and instinctive behavior of such persons, whether they fall within or without the normal range of variation. Modernity, with its stressful lifestyle, endless wars, abusive husbands and caretakers, artificial food production, illicit drugs and deleterious prescribed pharmaceuticals, all effect aberrations with increasing incidence. In addition—with the exception of the conditioned behavioral examples listed above—it is well established that ‘role modeling’ during childhood has little or no effect on the erotic inclinations or gender-specific behavior of these children because they are indeed ‘born that way’. We must also keep in mind the effect of meat bearing hormones on normal children as mentioned in the footnotes above. This latter, in addition to longer exposure to electric light which decreases melatonin’s inhibition of growth hormone, causes premature maturation and sexual prurience such that pubescence and onset of menses globally occurs much earlier than in centuries past. When added to the pornographic media which is purposely disseminated to cause moral chaos by the ‘hidden hand’ of Talmudic media moguls, the problem confronting Muslims may be better brought into focus.

Setting this disturbing moral dilemma aside for review by the wise, I’ve included significant papers on sexual dimorphism and function in the next ten pages for your examination. This represents but a small fraction of the work available. I’ve made an attempt to edit them for salient summary and thus avoid burdening the reader with medical terminology only the professional might comprehend.

Nevertheless, I must caution the reader that this new field of research is complex and intricate in its scope, and may well be of such a nature as to confound even the experts. I will be bold enough to suggest that the following verse applies also to the microcosm:

“He Who created the seven heavens one above another: no want of proportion will you see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn your vision again: see you any flaw? Again turn your vision a second time: (your) vision will come back to you dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.” [Q. Al-Mulk, 67: 4-5]
