These microplastics consist mainly out of bisphenol A, which bonds to estrogen receptors, that with waste water from “the pill” for woman making a boost in the last 30yrs. Which hardly gets filtered out of tapwater, might be the reason why so many young people struggle with their gender.
I dont mean this bad, but if your are hormonal imbalanced when hitting puberty, weird stuf happens. Just a brain fog thought.
Before you start to downvote. My daughter is trans with my blessing. But it really made me thinking about it. Mainly because she only drinks tapwater and seems like hooked to it. She is under the tap every 30min, doesn’t like anything else to do drink.
Well, there is the famous correlation with the use of lead on diesel fuels and psychopathy and violent crime in the 20th century. Once adding lead in fuels have been abolished, the rate of crime went down. I am not insinuating that being lgbt is wrong but you could be on to something.
Yes exactly, lead and criminality is a proven statistics but came only late in the research, correlating takes time.
You see the rise in lgbt, it just might be that the population is more tolerant and they don’t have to hide anymore (at least where I live) or there are idd external factors at play.
I dont mean to offend anyone with this, you do as you feel best about yourself.
It is an open conversation and instead of downvoting, I would really like people to tell me why this cannot a plausible link
I don’t think there is “rise” in lgbt movement in recent years, more like rise of acceptance as you alluded to. LGBT genders have existed for as long as humans have existed. There are many cultures that recognise and even exalt third genders, like the muxe in Mexico and bakla in Philippines. But what you say may have some merit.
We’re still full of lead btw. Little aircrafts (cescna style, r22 helicopters) still fly on leaded fuel over your house. Chemtrails are real, they just don’t come from boeings ;)
The reality is that all 3 are full of micro plastics. And there’s some overlap in the Teflon lead generation. And non stick material is still not all that great.
Really, the only problem we’ve solved kinda is lead, unless you’re poor.
To be fair most people still cook with teflon, albeit PFOA-free, so we’re still actively consuming teflon. And the worst part? You need to use plastic cooking-utensils with teflon pans. And as plastic utensils wear down they shed lots of microplastics straight into your food.
I’m usually very sceptical about things that “might supposedly” be bad for you, but even I refuse to buy any teflon pan and/or plastic cooking utensils. I now use cast iron with steel utensils :D
My mother (a boomer) died of an asbestos cancer (one of the better kinds of asbestos deaths) because her mother used asbestos heat spreaders on the stove
Those were asbestos cloth and they slowly disintegrated during use (between the stove and the pans) putting asbestos fibres into the air
Fun fact, Teflon was invented by dupont. And the Wikipedia page is fairly clear on the safety of Teflon being in question. The real concern is who did Dupont pay off to make Teflon a thing?
The real issue is PFAS or PFOA, which are used to help bind Teflon, or other nonstick polymers, to other surfaces. This was all done in the early 1900s, and the likelihood of some conspiracy is low. Especially since they didn’t (and literally couldn’t) know the long term effects of “forever chemicals”.
The real conspiratorial behavior comes AFTER the knowledge that PFAS or PFOA are harmful, and what actions, or inactions, of the companies and government are taken.
Remember there are people in our government (not all, but enough) who actively want LESS government: less regulation, less taxation, leas oversight. AND there are a vast quantity of companies that want the very same thing: unfettered freedom to do whatever the fuck they want, without consequence.
And that handful of government employees will easily be bribed or influenced by special interest lobby groups, businesses, “think tanks”, etc. (funded and/or founded by the aforementioned businesses).

Getting a NEW Teflon pan is less than ideal, and should be avoided. You can keep the one you have, and keep using it until the nonstick properties degrade, then toss it.
Just don’t throw away your Teflon pan “because”. It’s totally okay to use it on normal use cases. But absolutely avoid buying a new one when the time comes.
A small correction of the chemical nature, Teflon is PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which belongs to the class PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) also belongs to the same class, PFAS.
Leaded addons for fuel was invented by the same guy who invented freon as pressure gas in aerosols and airco making a hole in the ozon layer. He fucked us twice
