    “Biological stigma” would refer to the effects of having an incestuous child.

    “Social stigma” would refer to the sexual relationship between people in a close familial relationship, which is clearly not the case since they had no prior relationship.

    Since these men wouldn’t fall under either category, what other stigma is there?

      I don’t think we’re using the same definition of stigma.

      Stigma is a profound, unfair negative belief or stereotype attached to a person or group, causing shame, social rejection, and discrimination.

      I’m having a hard time making any of the stuff you’re saying make sense with that definition, and the whole word is inherently social.

      The fact is that a lot of people think it’s nasty to fuck your brother, and that you should stop fucking him when you realize you’re related to him. I see the nuance in this situation, but a lot of people don’t, and if they maintain the relationship they will have to deal with those people. It’s already hard enough to deal with homophobia without this on top.

        I don’t understand how you can read that definition and not comprehend my comment. Perhaps you could explain in your own words what the stigma here should be.
