What if the perceived increase in numbers of androgenous and trans people has a chemical basis: chemicals from plastics interfering with the endocrine system.

transgenderism has been a prominent aspect of virtually all human cultures dating back to the dawn of civilization. it wasn't until the Victorian era and colonialism that it was demonized. it's not some new phenomena caused by microplastics
Yeah, but it's possible the chances of it occuring are increased with micro plastics. Kinda like how exposure to some chemicals used in plastics seems to increase the likelihood of a child having ADHD. It's not the sole reason, nor are trans people new, but micro plastics might make trans people more common.
Actually, this is genius. Get the right wing climate change deniers to fight climate change by telling them that microplastics will turn their Chad of a son into a sissy girl
they'd just inject trans women with extra testosterone to "cure" them, making them all commit suicide.
