In terms of the chances of being homosexual, chances of being homosexual increase 10-12% if your sibling is homosexual. If you have an identical twin who is homosexual your chances of being homosexual as well go up 60-80%. The video says that since the identical twin shares the same DNA, the heritability factor of homosexuality is 60-80% as well. In prenatal development babies are exposed to levels of testosterone. Generally, females are exposed to lower levels of testosterone in the womb than males. The impact of testosterone is seen in later years with high levels of testosterone correlating with the aggressive trait of competitiveness in sports, as well as having a longer ring finger than index fingers on hands, and generally bring taller and more muscular. Being exposed to lower levels of testosterone generally result in more visual and verbal play rather than competitive sports, a shorter and less muscular stature, and ring fingers and index fingers being about the same length. While most women tend to follow the results of the lower testosterone levels in prenatal development lesbians are twice as likely to enjoy competitive sports than other women, tend to have a longer ring finger than index finger, and generally have a slightly taller and more muscular build. Men generally adhere to high level testosterone results however gay men are half as likely to enjoy competitive sports as children, have ring fingers and index fingers closer to the same length, and are found to be a bit shorter and less muscular than other men generally.
