What's it going to do to help you to say, oh, I have the genes for shortness. I'm just going to never talk to women ever again. What is the use of that? What is the benefit of that?

So no matter what circumstance you're in and no matter what hand God has dealt you, I think it's very much in our control to do what we can with what we have. So I think both are true, and we can hold both in our mind at the same time. But you're right. I mean, it drives me crazy when people ignore the role of genes. And I have a whole section of my book on that in terms of...

Okay. How do we cover this sensitively? Well, I think that in a lot of ways, trauma is the narrative that we tell ourselves about an experience that happened to us.
