I'm always a little wary of research that seeks to locate a unique
cause for any kind of human phenomenon. People are complex and, as a
social scientist myself, I see that most of what we do has multiple
causes. Therefore, while I'm not entirely opposed to research that
looks for biological components of sexual identity, I'm always worried
about the tendancy for reductionism.
