Why The Recent Surge In People Identifying As Trans or Other Gender Identities? It's Not What You Think.

I think it has to do more with the sudden acceptance of trans gendered people. My Father is Trans and came out 6 years ago. As a child trans people are told to hide it, and play the gender they look, not feel. This leads to a life of lying to yourself and those around you. Now people feel safe enough to tell the truth and live how they are. Trans people have always existed as a very small percent of people. Now they are just more visible.

Health harms

Human exposure to atrazine is linked to a number of serious health effects. A potent endocrine disrupter, atrazine interferes with hormonal activity of animals and humans at extremely low doses.

Endocrine Disruption: The science on atrazine's effects on the hormone system continues to grow. It alters the levels of key hormones in rats and can delay puberty. In male frogs, exposure to atrazine causes a kind of "chemical castration," causing them to develop female sex characteristics. Researchers hypothesize that atrazine singnals the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, demasculinizing the frogs.

Reproductive Effects: Because atrazine disrupts hormones, it's not surprising that epidemiological studies find associations between exposure to the herbicide and reproductive effects including increased risk of miscarriage, reduced male fertility, low birth weight, increased chance of any birth defect, and higher incidence of abdominal defects;
Cancer: Evidence for the carcinogenic potential of atrazine is growing — exposure has been linked to elevated risk of breast and prostate cancer. The recent President's Cancel Panel Report notes that atrazine has possible carcinogenic properties. In response to concerns, U.S. EPA is currently re-evaluating atrazine's carcinogenic potential.

Timing of exposure may be more important than exposure levels. Research shows that low levels of exposure during key periods of pregnancy may interfere with healthy fetal development. The third trimester of pregnancy appears to be most critical, says a recent epidemiological study. Synergystic effects between atrazine and other pesticides may also render health harms more severe.

Atrazine in drinking water
Atrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides in the U.S., and is found in 94% of U.S drinking water tested by the USDA — more often than any other pesticide. An estimated 7 million people were exposed to atrazine in their drinking water between 1998 and 2003.

The highest levels of contamination are in the Midwest where it is widely used on corn fields. USGS monitoring shows drinking water concentrations typically spike during the spring and early summer as rains flush the freshly applied herbicide into streams — and into local water supplies.----Enjoy~

EXACTLY! It's all right there!

Sex sells.

That would not surprise me--they admit developing this stuff to use on the soviets.

its all propaganda by the left

Its an election tool

Is that Ted Creepy Cruz?

Instead of going to great lengths to find a chemical conspiracy here, isn't it just more likely they feel more comfortable coming out these days?

HA! I was waiting for someone to say it--I thought the exact same thing!!! LOL

It's not even going to 'great lengths'.

The research is all there.

Go do your own homework about it.

Don't take my word for it!

The ONLY thing that has SURGED is the media hype of transpeople. The NUMBERS haven't EVER changed. One in every 6000 people are born intersex or gender disphoric, and it's been that way for THOUSANDS of years. It's BIOLOGY, not perversion. Look it up. Google it. It's SCIENCE.

There is NO perfect man or woman ... It's an illusion created by the media. EVERYONE is somewhere on the scale ... deal with it people.

My God, if you had ANY idea of the number of straight men who crossdressed in this country you would FAINT.

This recent trans-bashing is just another witch-hunt dreamed up by the crazy-ass, ultra-fundamentalist, born-again, bible-thumping, southern rednecks who NEED a devil in their bathrooms to make them feel good about their HORRIBLE meaningless lives.

Yeah, I'm trans. 100% gender change. And I am invisible. You see me and never see me. No one ever knows unless I tell them, and that's the way I like it. It's the way it should be. My medical history is my business and NOT yours. You DO NOT have a say over what my doctors decide, thank you.

Get a life.

a quick search turned this up...

Another study, conducted by University of California-Berkeley researchers and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that small amounts of atrazine lowered testosterone levels and fertility in male frogs. Many of the frogs were chemically castrated or even turned into females.

What a completely worthless OP. You have literally added nothing of value. 1*

Nowhere in my post did I bash anyone who is transgendered actually.

Is it that difficult for you to consider the fact that what you thought were your own desires or beliefs could in fact be influenced by an altering of chemicals within your own physiology?

Your post was WAAAY over the top defensive when no one here personally attacked you.

There's enough points of value here that you're either too blind or too stupid to bother to read.

Here's another:

Please, I have been bisexual since 1989.

There have been gay people since time immemorial.

NEXT!

It's no secret that a plan to reduce population is well underway. OP is only expressing a natural concern for the future of the Human Race (if any).

And you can't swing a dead cat in America w/o hitting a sadistic government/corporate conspiracy of one kind or another.

With all the "programming" we get from Hollywood and the media, who knows what thoughts are our own idea anymore?

Like they always say, "it's not a choice", but it may be a program.

OP yes, add in pcb. They've been feminizing the world for a while now. There's too many people emotionally involved to try and talk reason. They don't want to know it's increasing on purpose. That whatever was normal 50 years ago means Jack shit. A small amount is natural but they've increased that amount greatly with chemicals.

DO A SEARCH FOR....
"atrazine causing homosexuality"

And since when does making your sexual proclivities increase one's popularity and acceptance?

It took me 30 years to develop my "gaydar"--so looking back many of the people in my life were obviously gay, but I never thought about it at the time. They were just people, and treated like everyone else.

Cut to today when it's all so "special" and demanding of extra privilege.

Seems to me they are being "weaponized" against the rest of society.

If you eat any processed foods you are eating soy. The queen of fag, soy making you gay. The great gmo soy...the only soy you get....please sir can I have some more. Soy going to make sure you are not a boy.

I often express my own version of what you wrote. When I was young in the 60s, 70s and 80s, who you slept with wasn't the definition of who you were. It was behavior, not identity. It didn't make you "special" as you wrote, and it sure as hell didn't mean you automatically belonged to some sort of group or club, or that because you engaged in a sexual act, people could make assumptions about your beliefs and politics.

Again, in the past, it was something you did, not something you were.

Nowadays you're nothing without a label and a club to belong to, and some groupthink to engage in, I guess?

I don't want any part of it.

More on topic to the thread, it's increasingly obvious that there's an agenda to treat people like a herd of animals, and what's the first most obvious thing they do to a herd of cattle or other domestic animals, they either kill or castrate the males.

They can't come right out and do it surgically and call it that so it's done by slow poison, just like everything else these days.

Yes indeed. Estrogen friendly foods and additives in all the processed foods. Mimic estrogen remove the testosterone.

for sure that is part of it, but we are being attacked from every angle from chemicals like you say, but also on a sociological and psychological level through the media too, from porn to hollywood to music, the music industry is the most controlled contrived industry on the planet, and they have been pushing it since Bowie, monkey see monkey do

Kids will copy behaviours they deem to be successful, so if the TV says black people are cool, rich, brave, successful and sexy etc etc, then expect 4 and 20 white kids try to identify as black, if the media has gay actors being the star roles and msuicsells them as sexy and cool, then expect 4 and 20 kids of all races to do the same.


The same happened with michael jackson, his idol when growing up was fred astaire, much to his fathers displeasure, which made michael dig his heels in more, eventually becoming whiter and whiter, in behaviour and appearance, his dancing was influenced from watching fred astaire not black people

What we are seeing are the beginnings of a "Neo-Segregation" movement: where, after all the needless violence, the experts will inform us that since nobody can get along--we all have to join with those like us in a closed community.

Unless we all try to get along--it can end no other way.
