Hormones and Brain Differentiation
''Hormones and Brain Differentiation'' is a 1976 book about homosexuality and transsexualism by Günter Dörner.〔LeVay 1996. p. 118.〕 It formed part of a campaign to prevent homosexuality waged by Dörner in the 1970s, and like other parts of his work has aroused great controversy. Dörner advocated manipulating the sex hormone levels of pregnant women to prevent their offspring from becoming homosexual, and, based on experiments on rats, proposed brain surgery as a method of altering the sexual orientation of adult homosexuals.
==Summary==
Dörner writes that research on animals shows that "the direction of sex drive can be changed, at least in part, by intrahypothalamic sex hormone implantations or hypothalamic lesions." He argues that "an important preventative therapy of sexual differentiation disturbances" could be achieved through "administration of androgens in gonosomal male foetuses with androgen deficiency during the critical differentiation periods of genital organs and, in particular, of the brain." Dörner notes that there are possible arguments against a program to prevent homosexuality, including the fact that "numerous prominent personalities" of the past were homosexuals, including some who were "outstanding poets, painters, or composers." However, he defends his proposal on the grounds that 25% of homosexuals attempt suicide and that "a great number of males and females with inborn sexual deviations are suffering from psychosexual pressure." Quoting the author C. Hamburger, Dörner writes that he has received letters from unhappy transsexuals and homosexuals, and that he believes the medical profession has a responsibility to ease their suffering.〔Dörner 1976. pp. 228-229.〕
