And by "scientific cure for homosexuality," I mean that it lacks any sense of understanding about science or homosexuality.
Dr. Al-Sohel believes that homosexuality is caused by anal worms that get implanted in gay people. These anal worms are voraciously hungry for semen, which causes the gay people to become obsessed with sexual activity. And the anal worms can be killed -- and the person's homosexuality cured -- through the introduction of special suppositories.
Check out this transcript:
Dr. Mariam Al-Sohel: I discovered therapeutic suppositories that curb the sexual urges of boys of the third gender as well as the fourth gender, which is butch lesbians. They have excessive sexual urges, and these suppositories...You know that somebody has no basic understanding of the diversity of LGBTQ people when they started with the assertion that gay men just need to butch it up and get into shape in order to get straightened out.
Television Host: They have a calming effect?
Dr. Al-Sohel: ... the anal worm feeds on. By the way, this is all science, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Television Host: Of course not. It's Prophetic medicine. It's all in the books.
Dr. Al-Sohel: The sexual urge develops when a person is sexually attacked. And afterwards it persists, because there is an anal worm that feeds on semen.
Television Host: It feeds on sperm.
Dr. Al-Sohel: Right. It feeds on sperm. So what I did was to produce suppositories, which are to be used by certain people at a certain time and it cures those urges by exterminating the worm that feeds on sperm. The ingredients are the same (for both sexes), but I made them in different colors so that...
Television Host: But the ingredients are the same.
Dr. Al-Sohel: Yes, they are the same in every respect. We start the patient on a balanced diet when the treatment begins. It is a balanced diet of bitter, sour, salty, and sweet foods. In order to cleanse the body of poisons. The diet for the third gender -- the male ones -- consists of foods that increase their masculinity and build muscle. Any food that is buried underground provides men with stability, strengthens their muscles, and increasing their masculinity. Bitter foods increase masculinity.
After reading about Al-Sohel's sperm-hungry anal worms, I'm left with a few questions:
- What about tops? I mean, if I'm a total top then how did I get infected by a sperm-hungry anal worm? Or is the implication that tops aren't really gay or in need of a cure?
- If the goal is to starve anal worms from their steady supply of sperm, why not simply promote condom usage? The anal worms will starve to death. And it's certainly less complicated that completely modifying one's diet and creating special color-coded suppositories.
- How did lesbians get infected by sperm-hungry anal worms? And why do they need special color-coded suppositories and diets to kill off the sperm-hungry anal worms if they don't have sex with men? Won't they quickly cure themselves by avoiding men?
