(In response to an article about the life of a chimeric, hermaphroditic bird)

I call BS. How do they know this? Did they capture the bird and study it? How do they know it is not simply a coloration issue. Let us assume they are correct. Is this bird 'normal'? Is this bird not suffering from a medical condition? Why do they not refer to it as a birth defect that should be looked into to be corrected? NO, this is written in support of some LGBT 'they're born that way' hype. People are born with cleft lips, why not just say, 'they're born that way' and leave them be? People are born with any number of other issues and we do not just accept it because they were 'born that way'. This bird, on its own in nature (if we continue to assume the stated position of the writer) is not likely to breed. This would not be 'normal'. I also suppose if we are to shrug and say 'they're born that way' and leave them be we will not look into either the environmental (pollution, pesticides, herbicides, Monsanto) or the possible medical solutions to the defect because we would not want them to feel bad about themselves nor be called a homophobe for doing so.
