When it comes to working on the job, do people with women's brains function differently?

How much of a "women's brain" does it take before a man qualifies to use the women's locker room?
Appeal to Ridicule aside, Yes. There are notable differences in the brains of females and males.

Males tend to have larger brains (circa 10% difference) and more gray matter. Females tend to have more white matter. Language processing for women generally occurs in both hemispheres of the brain, whereas in males, it tends to reside solely in their dominant hemisphere - which is usually the left side. Men have more brain cells, but women have more connections between their brain cells. Men are more apt to be single-hemisphere dominant (generally left side), whereas, thanks to a larger corpus collosum, women are more apt to have a balance between hemispheres.

Just to name a few differences.

Oh, and...

Somewhat, yes. According to research, the hypothalamus of a gay male resembles that of a straight female moreso than that of a straight male.

If you're actually interested, there are numerous studies and research material for the reading.

Why shouldn't homosexuality be taught alongside heterosexuality in Sex Ed? There are dangers in either style (read: STD's), so teaching how to keep one's self safe is probably a good thing.

Good to see you are asking a lot of questions in an attempt to alleviate you ignorance on the subject.

Rita has some good answers for you

I'm not so sure about that. The Las Vegas Gay Pride event (more than just a parade, it was 3 days long) was just a few weeks ago and the only reason I knew it was happening was because some friends and I were discussing it on Facebook. The local news station I watch had NOTHING on it. Not sure if other stations had anything on it because I never turn them on.

Not every "defect" or alteration in the biological makeup of a person is at the level of schizophrenia. Most are relatively harmless.

To me, having a preference for consensual relationships with someone of the same gender is really no more harmful than having a preference for completing tasks with dominant usage of the left hand.
I'd have to agree with that. With properly padded undergarments, my "defect" can be hidden. But even when not hidden, the fact that one breast is three times the size of the other causes me no harm other than the teasing I got in junior high when I hit puberty.

And just where is that happening? Learning that some well known people were gay doesn't mean learning how they had sex!
