How to make frogs and sons LGBTQIA+

I don't think it's the water. I feel like I'm just doing what I feel like doing. Deal with it! Snap!

Sorry, Judy, I'm just not into it. - But your skin!
The herbicide atrazine is one of the most commonly applied pesticides in the world. As a result, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water.

Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations.

Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian [frog, toad, salamander] larval development.

My son wasn't until I made him mow our lawn!
The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians.

Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults.

Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs.

Atrazine-exposed males suffered from:

  • depressed testosterone,
  • decreased breeding gland size,
  • demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development,
  • suppressed mating behavior,
  • reduced spermatogenesis, and
  • decreased fertility.
These data are consistent with effects of atrazine observed in other vertebrate classes [like mammals and humans?].

The present findings exemplify the role that atrazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides likely play in global amphibian declines. SourcePMC (nih.gov)
COMMENTARY

Froggate turning the friggin frogs gay: Alex Joens conspiracy rant
(Whang!, 2/5/17) Alex Jones' rant about turning the frogs gay is perhaps his most famous, most outlandish, and most repeated freakout. It gets posted and referenced a lot. One has to wonder where he got the idea. It sounds ludicrous, yet he says it so casually and with so much certainly that it feels like he's assuming that we all already know about the gay frog subculture of West Pond. Look into it because it turns out there are chemicals in the water shown to have such effects, even turning male frogs into females. One is the pesticide atrazine. Another is a chemical called ethinyl estradiol, a synthetic estrogen found in some birth control pills. Although the research is clear that these chemicals are having negative effects on frog populations, there is much debate over what their presence in the environment means for humans.
Fairytale: The Frog Princess

Russian royal Ivan (Swerdlow) meets a nagaraja
The oldest attestation of this tale type in Russia is in a 1787 compilation of fairy tales, published by Petr Timofeev [36]. This tale is titled "Сказка девятая, о лягушке и богатыре" ("Tale nr. 9: About the frog and the bogatyr," Bogatyr being a surname).

In it, a king who is a widower has three sons [princes]. He urges them to find wives by shooting three arrows at random and to marry whoever they find on the spot the arrows land.

The youngest son, [Prince] Ivan Bogatyr, shoots his, and it takes him a long time to find it again. He trudges through a vast swamp and finds a large hut with a large frog [reptilian (nāgashapeshifter] inside holding his arrow.
Beautiful enough for you, Ivan Bogatyr?
The "frog" presses Ivan to marry it, lest he will not leave the swamp. Ivan agrees, and [the transforming creature] takes off the frog skin to become a beautiful maiden.

Later, the king asks his new daughters-in-law to weave him a fine linen shirt and a beautiful carpet with gold, silver, and silk, and finally to bake him delicious bread.

Lizard people masking their bodies?
Ivan's [reptilian] frog wife summons the winds to help her in both sewing tasks. Lastly, the king invites his daughters-in-law to the palace, and the frog wife takes off its frog skin, leaves it at home, and goes to the palace on a golden carriage [vimana?].

While she dances and impresses the court, Ivan goes back home, finds the frog skin, and burns it.

The maiden realizes her husband's folly and, saying her name is Vasilisa the Wise, tells him she will vanish to a distant kingdom [another world or dimension] and begs him to find her [37]. Source
Kiss frogs to find a good spouse?
Incest-Princess Finnegan wants big inheritance, kisses Grandpa Biden, unlike boyish sis Maisy
Something in the water makes me want to skip over to a different pad and find the boys.

Yum, you're so rugged!
[(WQ) As fun as it is to laugh at the monster that is Alex Jones being taken down on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (2018)does atrazine affect humans? You better believe it, as do xenoestrogenic plastics. How? That requires more study, the bill for which should be footed by pesticide producing corporations like Monsanto Bayer Corp. and Big Pharma in general. And is this why the folkloric tale of a princess or beauty kissing a lot of toads, frogs, or amphibians includes this animal form rather than other less shapeshifting beasts such as skunks, fish, birds, or wolves? What did the ancients know or observe about frogs?]
