if we go with the notion commonly accepted in metaphysics that our circumstances of birth are not an accident and that we choose our families, genders, countries, and challenges to tackle within a certain lifetime, why is it that people who identify as homosexual would often incarnate in families in which the parents are fundamentalist christians and preach fire and brimstone? this happens so frequently. is there any evolutionary purpose in setting such a split into motion beforehand, as opposed to being born in a family accepting of a gay sexual orientation?

i am similarly curious about transsexuals. why not incarnate into the gender you feel most comfortable as, rather than as one you don't resonate with and spending your whole life feeling out of sync with it and trying brutal surgeries to try to change into the opposite gender?
