I talk about many of these things and get labeled as a "Conspiracy theorist", particularly when you start observing that these are all known endocrine disruptors, that testosterone and sperm quantities are in free-fall among men world wide, and that precocious puberty is becoming normalized in girls simultaneously.

But the moment that you bring up how there might be a environmental/biological component to the extremely rapid increase in LGBT identification, particularly in the youth, they think you're Alex Jones. Sorry, no. I'm simply someone who internalized the message that movies like "Children of Men" were sending.

The problem is that this isn't true once you factor out disease status (such as obesity, which is rising).

I was with you until you started saying that the trend towards LGBT identification wasn't just people's emotions.

People think you're Alex Jones because it's a very, very dumb reach.

Punk wasn't something in the blood.

Recent LGBT craziness is just a trend like any other.

You’ve got to at least consider the effects of pharmaceutical birth control has on society.

If you can’t question things for fear of being labeled a conspiracy theorist is a signal to question those things.
