This being said one could easily say a child LEARNS to feel an attraction to one side or the other, one way or another.

As someone who has dabbled (read: dabbled) in the study of psychology, alarms go off in my head when someone says "the brain most definitely works via this model". The "blank slate" theory is not one I strongly believe in - to my own understanding, there are far more aspects to a person that are innate than the base theory generally credits, and I believe things such as sexual orientation, gender identity and inherited personality traits are among them. I'm also not sure where you're going with "learning" to feel attracted to another person.

(P.S. why am I helping keep this topic alive aagh)
