A Contribution to Archives of Sexual Behavior by Dr. Osman Sabuncuoglu: Commentary on “Gay Male Only-Children: Evidence for Low Birth Weight and High Maternal Miscarriage Rates” from the Prenatal Thyroid Model Perspective

In the January 2018 Issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior, a commentary on the article of Skorska et al. (2017) has been published by Dr. Sabuncuoglu. Skorska et al. (2017) had viewed low birth in gay males and higher evidence of miscarriage in their mothers as an indication of a second type of maternal immune hypothesis. For Dr. Sabuncuoglu all the findings were an indication of prenatal thyroid theory, as higher risk for low birth weight and miscarriage in the mothers were all associated with maternal thyroid dysfunction. There is also a unique contribution in the paper. An in-depth explanation of fraternal birth order effect from prenatal thyroid theory perspective, as well as fetal microchmerism suggested in its etiopathogenesis. "...in my opinion, a comprehensive consideration of all thyroid issues is essential in the study of gender nonconformity and same-sex attraction." says Dr. Osman Sabuncuoglu The article is available at: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-017-1122-2
