George rushes were respectable scholars fear to tread: the mimetic-theory hypothesis on homosexuality. The idea is that homosexuality arises when the sexual attention and appetite shift from the instinctual object of desire – i.e. a person of the opposite sex – onto the rival. George elaborates on the theory and applies it to the next-level sexual nonconformity we're seeing today: gender fluidity, multiplying types of sexuality, gender transitioning, etc. The phenomenon is explained as resulting from hyper-sexualised culture, but also from individuals trying to differentiate through authentic desire.
