      Let’s not make unfounded and harmful claims that being LGBTQ is some sort of toxin-related defect, unless you’re prepared to provide some sort of evidence to that effect. There is ample historical evidence of the existence of LGBT individuals dating back thousands of years.

      this is a dumb take.

      it’s pure speculation, there is no proven connection between teflon or microplastics or whatever and being gay (or i should say LGBTQ+).

      even with the testosterone thing being true: since when does low testosterone mean LGBTQ+?

      this stupid take just strengthes the idea that being LGBTQ+ is some kind of illness, which really doesn’t help anyone.

          It’s at least an actual fact that all of the crap that’s been polluting up our bodies has messed with our hormones and such

          yeah, so what? who says that this wouldn’t lead to less gay people?

          remember “don’t ask, don’t tell?” that basically meant that officially, 0% of men in the military were gay. obviously there were way more than 0% gays in the military. i don’t think it is a “dumb take” to say there weren’t necessarily less gays back then, because we know for a fact that there were way more gays than what was reflected in stastistics.

          i am certain that there are studies on this, too.

              There’s a black hole sized gulf between “perhaps there is a reason for homosexuality” and “homosexuality is caused by Teflon and micro plastics”

              If you aren’t going to even attempt to point at something that even comes close to backing up your claim then you’re going to be very disappointed with the amount of people who take you seriously.

      this is how you sound when you say “average testosterone levels are lower and sperm counts are way lower”
