People who are 6'8" though were born with most of what leads them to the becoming of it, just as most people are born with most of what it will take to develop within a standard deviation of the bimodal distribution's modes.
I was not born gay.
I became
pre-gay at a young age. Anybody who knows an effeminate male child knows what pre-gay looks like.
But even if my genetics and environment predestined me, it
still does not make sense to say I was born a particular sexual orientation, and I think it is unhelpful and wrong to frame it that way.
It is supremely dishonest to say that my position is specifically "everyone is born with an orientation".
This is my position: which you failed to quote when you straw-manned it:
some babies are born straight, some are born gay, some are born bisexual some are born asexual. Some will have sexuality grow into them as a function of their born predelictions and experience.
As can be seen, I expect that even at the time of birth, some are going to be gay some are going to be straight, and some may be more malleable according to their nurtures.
At any rate the point is that it's not really a decision and is largely dependent on structures of the brain that form in particular ways, as a result of particular developmental differentiations in utero.
The same is in fact true of trans people, with aspects of gender identity becoming apparent at very young ages, and indicating that discordance is observed as a statistically significant event even at young ages.
The leading thoughts on this is that it has something to do with how the brain develops. It's not something that people choose, though I do accept it is something that folks will occasionally attempt to claim in bad faith. My thought is to take all claims in such faith seriously, and allow the consequences of doing so be visible for all to see.
This person I would see thrown in a prison claiming to be a woman, with many people who identify as men, because they will be there for the sole reason that this is a place not specifically for "men" but for those who do or may be able to ejaculate sperms, and who do or may have a large amount of testosterone.
If they were willing to castrate themselves such as to not produce sperms or steroids, then I would not see the issue with them being housed with others who produce neither sperm nor steroids.
It's a long ways to go, though, in bad faith.
More, I expect their claim will lead to unwanted consequences for claiming to be a woman who will inevitably be housed with a supermajority of criminal men, some of which are most assuredly gay, and some of which will not take kindly to someone who murdered a bunch of gay people and treats LGBT issues flippantly enough to use clear bad faith...
