É simples, isole 2 cachorros machos e não deixe uma única fêmea se aproximar deles por 2 anos, uma hora um vai tentar fazer filho no outro. São 3 fatores possíveis: genética, comportamental ou até influência de testosterona (baixa produção da mesma e aumento na produção de progesterona), mas o mais comum é comportamental.

As imagens cerebrais foram feitos em adultos e pesquisadores sugeriram que tal diferenciação foi causada pelo longo prazo após a escolha da orientação sexual.

EUA derrubam proibição de transgêneros nas Forças Armadas

Segundo secretário de Defesa, critério de seleção do Exército deve ser a qualificação do soldado, independente do gênero ou sexualidade. Pentágono diz que pagará por cirurgia de mudança de sexo a militares transgêneros.

Transgêneros não serão mais proibidos nas Forças Armadas americanas, anunciou o secretário de Defesa dos Estados Unidos, Ashton Carter, nesta quinta-feira (30/06). De acordo com o político, o Exército deve valorizar os soldados mais qualificados, independente do gênero ou sexualidade.

"Nossa missão é defender este país, e nós não queremos que haja barreiras que nos impeçam de recrutar aqueles que melhor cumprirão essa missão", disse Carter no Pentágono. Segundo o secretário, a abolição da proibição de transgêneros no Exército é "a coisa certa a se fazer".

O governo calcula que 2,5 mil transgêneros sirvam nas Forças Armadas atualmente, mas seguindo a política do "don't ask, don't tell" (não pergunte, não conte), em vigor desde 1993. Ou seja, eles são permitidos de prestar o serviço militar, contanto que não falem sobre sua orientação de gênero.

"A realidade é que temos transexuais servindo de farda hoje em dia. Os americanos querem servir, e a profissão deve estar aberta a todos", afirmou o secretário.

A nova medida tem efeito imediato, entrando em vigor nesta sexta-feira. Com isso, o Exército não pode mais demitir ou impedir que cidadãos transgêneros se alistem. Os que já integram as Forças Armadas poderão assumir sua orientação, se assim desejarem, sem sofrer discriminação.

Carter anunciou ainda que, a partir de 1º de outubro, o Departamento de Defesa vai custear cirurgias de mudança de sexo aos soldados transgêneros que demonstrarem interesse em realizá-las.

A decisão foi comemorada pela comunidade LGBT, bem como por alguns políticos americanos. Para o senador democrata Dick Durbin, a medida permite que transgêneros "sirvam sem viver uma mentira", além de fornecer aos comandantes "uma perspectiva mais clara sobre o assunto".

A discussão sobre a abolição de leis que discriminam militares por gênero ou sexualidade vem caminhando há anos nos EUA. Em 2011, o Pentágono derrubou a proibição a homossexuais assumidos e, no ano passado, permitiu que mulheres assumissem qualquer cargo militar, incluindo de combate.

Soldiers want NATO: The best security against Russia

Support for the western defence union has risen to a new record high among the officer corps of the Defence Forces. Out of the answers from a poll among members of the Officers Union 70% support Finland joining NATO.

The biggest support is within the Navy, where almost 80% of the answering Naval officers claim they support Finland joining the alliance. Also within the Air Force the clear majority of 72% supports joining. The Navy and the Air Force are the branches with the most international cooperation in the FDF. The lowest support for NATO is found among the officer staff of the Border Guards, where 64% advocate joining.

The poll also made it possible to freely judge Finnish defence policy and the main factors for those who are pro-NATO is the military strength of the alliance and the Russian threat. According to one officer "the only clear security is NATO membership". A senior lieutenant serving with the Border Guards claimed that "Finland joining NATO is the only credible form of defence cooperation against the threat represented by Russia".

Just over a fourth claimed that their opinion about NATO had changed and the majority of those claiming to have addressed their views are now more NATO-friendly than before. Under a tenth of those responding claim to be more reserved against the alliance than earlier.

The fifth article of the North Atlantic Treaty demands that NATO members support each other, and a majority of the responses were guessing that NATO only will support members, while over 40% were guessing that Finland could get NATO support during a military crisis also without membership.

"Simply put: As a member, Finland would get military support from NATO member countries, and if not, NATO would not give any support" one lieutenant colonel analyzed.

The support for NATO has risen dramatically within the officers corps during the last two years. In a poll performed in the end of 2013 support for a Finnish NATO membership was 51%, with a third against it and 20% declining to answer. In the spring of 2014 Russia occupied the Crimean Peninsula and in a poll performed in April the same year the officers were much more NATO friendly.

In the poll from the spring of 2014 the respondents had to order the preferences for NATO membership, a military alliance with Sweden and neutrality. NATO was then supported by 66%, a fourth supported neutrality and the Swedish alliance had support from every tenth officer.



The officers and the political leadership are of different opinions when it comes to NATO. The government under Prime minister Juha Sipilä (Centre Party) has left the question open in their program. According to the program "Finland maintains the possibility to seek membership".

When it comes to defensive cooperation with Sweden the soldiers are agreeing with President Sauli Niinistö and Minster of Defence Jussi Niinistö [not related, my note]. Both of them have advocated cooperation, and Minister Niinistö have speculated that the cooperation could develop to an alliance.

80% of the officers are positive to a increased military cooperation with Sweden. In an alliance the partnership could be mutual support, where Sweden of Finland would help a neighbor that has come under attack.

Within the Air and Naval forces cooperation is already almost a daily occurrence, and also within the armies the cooperation has increased. Among others the Jaeger Brigade and Norrbotton Regiment have trained together.



According to many of the answers the cooperation with Sweden may strengthen Finland's position in the Baltic region and restrain Russia's aspirations to destabilized the balance of the area. An alliance with Sweden can however not be a surrogate for NATO membership. Some officers doubt Sweden's ability and willingness to act in a real situation.

According to a lieutenant colonel answering the poll "an alliance between Finland and Sweden is not enough deterrence again Russia, and that is why both countries should join NATO". A Captain Lieutenant was guessing that "in a crises not Sweden either would be interested to get involved in an armed conflict".

Some of the respondents trust Sweden. An Air Force cadet thought that "an alliance with Sweden would be a better alternative even to NATO membership as it likely would further Finnish and Swedish interests better".



The Government emphasize in the program that the European Union is a defensive community, but the officers are divided among themselves when it comes to military abilities of the Union, Half think that the EU have little relevance while a fourth claim the relevance is at least fairly big. Even if the majority belittle the military ability of the EU the majority accept Finnish military assistance to another EU country. A fourth would limit support only to police and other civilian administration.

The officers are conflicted when it comes to a law change making it possible for Finnish soldiers to be sent as help to another EU state. Almost half think that the duty should include at least professional soldiers.

Over 40% are against the law, but the majority are still ready to take part in mutual EU support, as long as service terms, pay and insurance are suitable.



The soldiers have fairly good trust in their ability to defend Finland. 75% of the respondents gave a satisfying mark of 7 or 8 [on the Finnish school scale of 4-10, my note] to the defensive ability. The officers were also asked to give school grades to President Niinstö, Prime Minister Sipilä, Minister Niinstö and General Jarmo Lindberg, Chief of Defence.

The Commander in Chief, President Niinstö, is the favorite among the soldiers with an average score of 8,9, while General Lindberg scored almost as good at 8,7. Officers have traditionally been quite negative towards politicians and this time their scores were affected by the Government's suggestion to raise to retirement age of soldiers.

Minister of Defence Jussi Niinistö got a moderate score of 7,8 as he was against raising the retirement age within the Government. In the poll the officers also complained that Niinistö's defence political statements were old-fashioned and outdated.

Niinistö's score might also have been lowered a dispute of the position as Chief of Staff at the Ministry of Defence. Niinistö fired the formed Chief, Lieutenant General Arto Räty, and replaced him with a civilian engineer, Jukka Juustin.

Prime Minister Sipilä, who have taken very little part when it comes to foreign and security politics, was considered the weakest link by the officers who gave him an average score of 7.



The chairman of the Officer's Union, Lieutenant Colonel Jari Rantala analyzed the result as expected. NATO is by soldiers considered an overwhelming military force, and one that Finland should join. "Officers consider NATO membership from a strictly military position. Politics is another matter", Rantala claimes. He emphasizes that Finland not only can rely on NATO membership, and that the foundation for NATO's power is national armies. "One would think that also NATO would require that the national defence of the members is in order".

The Finnish political leadership is very excited and the soldiers excited about cooperation with Sweden, but Rantala wish to interrupt such daydream where NATO and Sweden would be equal choices. "NATO is supreme compared to Sweden". Rantala has also received the Government's plans to allow Finnish soldiers to take part in EU's military support missions. According to Rantala a soldier will go where he is ordered, as long as work agreements are in order. "The principle is simple. If someone will come and help us, I suppose we should go and help them."
