Like any good conspiracy theory, it has a grain of truth in it.
We really do live in a world full of unnatural endocrine disruptors and their use has drastically increased over the past several decades (though it's unlikely there's a conspiracy to deliberately poison people, or frogs, with them), and endocrine disruptors really do fuck the body up in all sorts of fascinating ways.
That article says so too:
huh, i just read an NIEHS report on endocrine disruptors. (this is very much not my field, this question probably exposes that). I wonder why they include phytoestrogens but not corticosteroids. pretty sure corticosteroids fuck up the endocrine system (very badly), just they're generally administered by doctors, not the environment or in your food.
No idea, but if I had to guess, corticosteroids break down so quickly that it's rare to be exposed to them inadvertedly.
well i mean NIEHS is the national institute of Environmental health science, so it makes sense why they'd focus on environmental causes rather than MD causes. just, it feels like an intentional oversight.
There is definitely a grain of truth behind this, which is actually even funnier than whatever Alex Dumbass Jones spun it into.
On my phone so I can’t look this up, but it was the CIA or the pentagon, who found some researchers who were studying this in frogs. They gave them a very small grant. Something like $100,000 which is pretty fucking small for a military research grant. They thought they could use this in Iraq to make the enemy gay, and like stop them from fighting by having gay sex with eachother.
It still baffles me that they thought being gay would render the opponent completely helpless because obviously "gay men can't help but fuck each other constantly".
What a take on sexuality lol.
Ultra straight, white, conservative, old men with a bit of a hidden gay thought buried in the closet seem to think that way, I can't explain their behavior any other way.
