In my late 20s and early 30s, during the administration of Read My Lips Daddy H-Dub, I was what most people would consider an enviro-simp or eco-freak.  A tree hugger.

 

I’m no longer an eco-freak, but I am ecologically-minded.  I routinely pick up other people’s trash [though my wife claims I leave mine all over the house], recycle religiously, and re-use everything I possibly can.  I’m also still a tree hugger.  And a tree talker.  Yeller.  Screamer.  A half decade after Daddy H-Dub I acquired five acres of ex-wheat field and converted it into a small livestock farm with a wide assortment of trees that I hold regular, loud and profane conversations with, mostly having to do with their insistence on decapitating me as I try to mow around them.

 

But in the early 90s I read Mother Jones and tried really hard to like what I read.  I didn’t.  I found most of its content to be preachy pseudo-piety and intellectually insulting.  The rest was merely axiomatically presumptuous choir-preaching.  I also got the Seventh Generation catalog − they had a catalog at the time − and I ordered stuff out of it.  Most of what I ordered, soap and deodorant and laundry detergent mostly, did not work well, some not at all, and coupled with the exorbitant price made for a stupendously bad bargain.

At the same time, I was reading Scientific American and other semi-legitimate science journals.  Among the things I read in these were several discussions about the dangers and long-term effects of POPs − persistent organic pollutants.  This was less than a full generation after the end of the Vietnam War when some of the ex-hippies among us were still hair-shirting about Agent Orange in great, sloppy, bawling tirades.

 

Agent Orange contains dioxin, a class of chemicals known to cause birth defects as well as “developmental disorders”.  This is a catch-all term for any number of conditions which impairs a petulant, whiny teenager dripping with self-indulgence and delusions of omniscience from making the successful transition to a normal, self-doubting but still self-sufficient adult who knows his limitations and obeys them.  These developmental disorders may be purely physiological, or psychological, or sexual … or a combination thereof.

According to the literature, the surest bet was for all of the above to happen: delayed, accelerated or inhibited physical and psycho-sexual development.  When the chemical agents responsible for developmental disorders affect a person’s endocrine system − as they nearly all do in one way or another − and interfere with hormonal communication between one part of a person’s body and another, they are called endocrine disruptors.  Adolescent and pre-pubertal exposures are considered the highest risk for long-term effects of endocrine disruption.

There are hundreds of endocrine disruptors endemic to modern technological society, but a handful are also native to the Periodic Table: lead, mercury, arsenic and chlorine are the biggies.  Fluoride, a simple and ubiquitous compound, is another chemical responsible for messing with a growing endocrine system.  But at least you’ll have strong, healthy teeth as you retain your 14 year-old worldview.  That’s something.

 

The rest of the endocrine disruptors are complex chemical frankensteins.  Most people are aware of − or at least unsurprised by − the general sources of these problem chemicals.  Industrial solvents; cosmetics and toiletries additives [particularly unidentified “fragrance”]; bleaches and dyes; pesticides, herbicides and other agricultural chemicals; plastic leachates; highly processed food; paint; fire retardants and stain blockers; white paper… the list is nearly endless.

 

It is interesting to note − to me, anyway − that virtually all herbicides are carcinogens and endocrine disruptors except glyphosate, the active ingredient in the Monsanto/Bayer product Round-Up ®.  Glyphosate has shown no involvement in human endocrine dysfunction, and while the science is, at best, inconclusive on its actual carcinogenic properties, its makers have lost many lawsuits over it.  Yet the known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors in the pantheon of herbicides are largely lawsuit-free.  For some reason.

 

At any rate, it seems that virtually everything in our modern, techno-industrial world is trying to interfere with a person’s endocrine system, most of which screw with sexual development, and often affecting the emotional development that goes along with it.  And that’s not to include the natural sources of sexual development screwery found in, primarily, legumes.  Peas, lentils and beans contain high amounts of pseudo-estrogens.  The biggest culprit in this area is, of course, soybeans with all the well-earned satire that goes with it.  Soyboys are an actual thing.

 

I shouldn’t need to point this out, but I shall anyway.  The preponderance of chemical interference with human sexual development is a known First World Problem.  This is not even marginally debatable.  Issues with “sexual identity” − which have been reclassified as Gender Spectrum by academic simpletons − are virtually unknown outside of “The West”.

 

Also virtually unknown outside of “The West” are the broad classes of complex chemical endocrine disruptors.  Do we really need to point out the obvious here?  Chemicals which alter a person’s sexual and emotional development through puberty create results that are not normal or natural.

 

Adult men and women with the emotional maturity of mid-pubescent boys and girls is not normal, nor is it natural.

 

Adult men and women with the emotional maturity of young teenage boys and girls and with a sexual attraction to teenage boys and girls is not normal, nor is it natural.

Adult men who believe they are adult women is not normal, nor is it natural.

Adult women who believe they are adult men is not normal, nor is it natural.

 

The same people who bitterly and marxistly complain about large corporations and technological society for the profits they make “on the backs of the workers” don’t seem to register that those workers are, effectively, mutants.

The same people who wet their panties about corporations and technological society for the environmental damage they believe is being caused by carbon dioxide − a natural compound mandatory for life on this planet to exist − refuse to acknowledge the poisoning of the human race by the man-made chemicals that permeate the environment.

The same people who howl at the moon about corporations and technological society for poisoning the human race with frankenstinian chemicals merely “suspected” to be carcinogens deliberately ignore those same chemicals for their known ability to create adults with a sexual and emotional maturity of a 14 year-old − and a sexual appetite to match.

Why did the outrage over endocrine disruptors and the psycho-sexual havoc they wreak virtually disappear from mainstream outrage in the mid-90s? …possibly coincidentally during the Clinton Administration?

 

Why is a growing portion of academia currently justifying pedophilia as a viable lifestyle?

 

Why do the Alphabet People fling so much outrage at those who know − and say − that gender multiplicity isn’t a normal thing rather than at the witches brew which created their psycho-sexual aberrance in the first place?

 

Why are we so tortiously concerned about Round-Up ® maybe causing cancer than we are with the PFCs, glycol ethers and organophosphates which do cause cancer …and psycho-sexual dysfunction to boot?

 

If I were the arch-enemy of Uncle Sam searching for a way to slowly and inconspicuously render the US impotent and irrelevant, you can be sure this would be among the kryptonites I’d be looking at.
