Request addition of reference

I am requesting that the following reference should be considered for inclusion in the article on sexual orientation: Hayman, John; Fortune, Denys W. (2023-12-30). "Sexual Orientation in Twins: Evidence That Human Sexual Identity May Be Determined Five Days Following Fertilization". Cureus. 15 (12): e51346. doi:10.7759/cureus.51346. PMID 38161549.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI (link)

with thanks

Hi John. I won't deny that your request appears slightly self-interested. Is there a particular sentence in the article or change that citing your paper would help support? –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 02:26, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Narraburra, I have seen your paper. The problem is the paper actually gets an important finding wrong. It states "MZ twins have been found to have a concordance of 65.8%". But per the Bailey et al. 2016 review the twin concordance is actually 24% (see page 76). In fact, the paper you cite for the 65.8% figure actually found a concordance of 31.6%.

An interesting side note, Rice et al. the concordance of ~25% is the same concordance seen in cryptorchidism, another hormonally mediated trait.

Anyway, for a paper on this topic to be included on Misplaced Pages, it should probably get the twin concordance right. Zenomonoz (talk) 00:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
