    These microplastics consist mainly out of bisphenol A, which bonds to estrogen receptors, that with waste water from “the pill” for woman making a boost in the last 30yrs. Which hardly gets filtered out of tapwater, might be the reason why so many young people struggle with their gender.

    I dont mean this bad, but if your are hormonal imbalanced when hitting puberty, weird stuf happens. Just a brain fog thought.

    Before you start to downvote. My daughter is trans with my blessing. But it really made me thinking about it. Mainly because she only drinks tapwater and seems like hooked to it. She is under the tap every 30min, doesn’t like anything else to do drink.

      Well, there is the famous correlation with the use of lead on diesel fuels and psychopathy and violent crime in the 20th century. Once adding lead in fuels have been abolished, the rate of crime went down. I am not insinuating that being lgbt is wrong but you could be on to something.

        Yes exactly, lead and criminality is a proven statistics but came only late in the research, correlating takes time.

        You see the rise in lgbt, it just might be that the population is more tolerant and they don’t have to hide anymore (at least where I live) or there are idd external factors at play.

        I dont mean to offend anyone with this, you do as you feel best about yourself.

        It is an open conversation and instead of downvoting, I would really like people to tell me why this cannot a plausible link

          I don’t think there is “rise” in lgbt movement in recent years, more like rise of acceptance as you alluded to. LGBT genders have existed for as long as humans have existed. There are many cultures that recognise and even exalt third genders, like the muxe in Mexico and bakla in Philippines. But what you say may have some merit.
