It's not at all surprising if you know anything about neuroanatomy. Feet and genitals are often very close to each other in the brain map. Easy for them to get crosswired sometimes.

Are you saying my obsession for intra-abdominal organs is not as sexy as I think?
Well, I see no reason to send kids to school, period. But if you approach it from the perspective of the child, it's you imposing your will and your preferences onto them over theirs.
Not really, is it likely to happen though? Yeah, but that's their experience to deal with. Kids can be bulldogs and if you don't conform, you're going to get ridiculed. That's one of my big issues with public education, forcing groups of people together against their will does not make for a good social experience.
So on one hand you have a child who's expressing free will to dress however he/she wants (something certainly not against the NAP), and on the other you have the negative consequences associated with non-conformity. If the kid is 6, I'm sure he's old enough to understand what cause and effect is, and what is likely to happen based on his actions. If the kid is willing to take the ridicule, so be it. Conformity is over rated.
I'd influence them to the point at which I let them know what is likely to happen for dressing up as the opposite sex. If they're OK with that, so be it. I'm of the belief that we don't "own" our children. They're independent, separate human beings with their own brain and ability to make decisions on their own. We're just here to guide them. But I believe being consistent in libertarian philosophy (self ownership & the non-aggression principle), means applying those same concepts to child rearing.
if it weren't for religiously dictated morality most people wouldn't care or even give this a second thought. They'd look, say that's weird, maybe even be disgusted by it, and move on. Because at the end of the day it has nothing to do with them.
I'm saying your gall bladder fetish puts you in the 8th standard deviation. Sorry to break it to you.
If you make that conclusion then you also have to make the conclusion that the majority of straight people would make the assumption that gay people have been rejected by females purely because they don't understand the urge to fuck other men.
By using out words like 'possibly' & 'some' you're trying to protect your viewpoint. If you have an opinon stick to it. At the moment your viewpoint is that some people are BORN gay and others turn gay, if that's the case is it possible that the people that identify as gay are all actually born gay?
The reason twin case studies are so interesting is because even if you're brought up in the same environment you still have different outcomes. Otherwise NO twin studies would be run because you could argue the whole nature vs nuture angle.
With all the stigma associated with being homosexual, can you honestly say that somebody would choose to be gay because they were rejected by a female (or multiple females?).
I don't think it's very probable that every person who identifies as gay was born genetically gay.. but yes its possible. But anything is possible. What opinion have I not stuck to? My opinion is that there are a few possible non-genetic routes to homosexuality but you seem to want to focus on only one of them - the rejection route.
Definitely, some people might choose it for many different reasons. But are you saying that nobody would ever become gay after having their guts ripped out by a painful rejection or betrayal? Are you saying that someone would never question their own sexuality and worth as a male after being rejected so bad? Are you saying all homosexuality is genetic and they're born that way? Are you telling me it's in their genes to wear drag and talk like a lispy clown? Where is the gene for white guys talking more faux-feminine than a pissed off black woman? Most, if not all of this shit is learned. Just like women learn how they're supposed to dress in our society and men learn not to pick pink as our favorite color. Or do we have anti-pink genes?
And yes, I realize not all gays wear drag and talk hyper feminine.. but maybe you get my point about learned behavior and possible non-genetic routes to homosexuality.
Oh and real quick.. I've got to make the point that I'm not making any moral right/wrong judgement on homesexuality here. "Right" and "Wrong" are words for preachers. I wouldn't even call it a disorder. The word 'disorder' is a word reserved for modern day preachers aka psychologists aka criminals.
