It's ironic how the most insightful comments on this site get the most downvotes. As if endocrine disrupting chemicals in the enivronment are not a possible contributing factor, and the eventual downfall and extinction of most if not all species. [1]

1. be wary of all citations to a _meta_ analysis; 2. be wary of dated results that are being republished without further research; 3. be very wary of publishers with an agenda beyond the fourth estate.

1. check 2. 13-page report published in 2017 without follow up turned into a book released yesterday 3. axios "Between the Lines" (https://www.axios.com/about/) just because i like and/or agree with axios does not let them off the hook on #3

The body of evidence about the effects of endocrine disruptors/gender bending chemicals on the destruction of species is many decades in the making. Axios is just one of many to publish such stories:

I'm way more wary of people who post a lot, have been on the site for nearly a decade, and get everything they post voted down and flagged on a consistent basis.

yeah if anything I'm saying doesn't make any sense to you or it's wrong then it makes sense to downvote it, right? but when people provide evidence to prove otherwise, not sure why the down votes happen. One thing I do see about this site is that it is quite ironic that the majority of downvoted comments actually are the most insightful, and maybe that's because people just cannot handle the truth. you be the judge. Down vote me some more, it seems to make everyone feel better when they do that.
