😅 It would probably blow an evangelical's mind to learn that some scientists have caught evidence of fetuses touching themselves in the womb.

Humans evolved with the potential (not the certainty) of procreation. Sexuality is inborn, not taught.

You can't "teach" or "influence" someone to be queer any more than you can "teach" or "influence" someone to be cishet.

You can try and force them.

If you're an asshole.

But it will be for nothing cause it's not gonna work.

What needs to be taught are the definitions and knowledge that will allow the child to understand themselves better, and eventually, navigate their inborn sexuality more safely and happily.

And so, all these religious conservatives do by denying children honest, open, and age-appropriate sex education; is stunting their development as a person at least, and endangering them with enforced ignorance at most. 🤷🏾‍♀️

(Kind of explains why child abuse in religious groups and regions are higher than non religious ones.

The abuser takes advantage of the child's lack of knowledge, as well as their indoctrinated shame, fear, and silence around the topic of sex, in order to deceive and manipulate the child into staying quiet).
