Thoughts on telegony /sci/?

A famous example of it happening in mammals is Lord Morton's mare
>In 1820, the Earl of Morton, FRS, communicated to the Royal Society of London, UK, a “singular fact”. In attempting to domesticate the quagga—a zebra-like, South American member of the horse family (now extinct)—he was forced to breed a male with a female Arabian mare. The resulting hybrid was predictable, but the singularity appeared when the Arabian mare was subsequently mated with an Arabian stallion: their offspring possessed colour and hair characteristics of the quagga.
There is also this study here - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4282758/ -
That shows telegony happens for sure in this one species of fly.
>Scientists at the University of New South Wales discovered that, for fruit flies at least, the size of the young was determined by the size of the first male the mother mated with, rather than the second male that sired the offspring.
>Our new findings take this to a whole new level – showing a male can also transmit some of his acquired features to offspring sired by other males,” she says. “But we don’t know yet whether this applies to other species.
>Dr Stuart Wigby of the Department of Zoology at Oxford University added: “The principle of telegony is theoretically possible for pretty much any internally fertilising animal, but these hasn’t historically been much evidence for it.

Sex and Gender

Hello /sci/ can you please explain to me how sexuality works, scientifically? Accordinf to the most recent academia? I will read and likely save effect posts. Is gender/sex a feeling? How is it possible for a person without narcissism to be sexually attracted to themselves? Can sexual inversion occur in a heterosexual? Can prolonged torture change a person's sexuality? Can repeated sexual torture change a persons sexuality, permanently?
