Do you think that with more reliable research on the genetic component it would lessen the stigma?

I think I prefer the genetic approach. It makes me feel slightly less like it's my fault for not adjusting properly.
Oh dear, please don't think that "It's your fault". We are not to blame, no matter what the reason, for being the way we are. Nature &/or nurture doesn't matter. Neither are our fault. I think that I want to try to love myself no matter why I am the way I am. Fix what I can for sure, but don't take on that great heap of blame.
