are we really going to talk about the fertility crisis without bringing up the obvious reason no one wants to mention, ie so many more AMABs coming out as trans? because that's a pretty huge factor imo
many of you saying this doesnt make sense bc there aren't enough MtF individuals to account for the entire trend
consider there may be shared underlying factors driving both (yes, we're not supposed to say there are factors driving MtF but cmon)

@pee_zombie mtfs are an indicator species

@pee_zombie it's liver and cholesterol impacting hormones associated with immune function.
It's in our water. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4067538/
It's everywhere.
No one understands.
@pee_zombie pesticides, herbacides, and pharmaceuticals combining with excessive runoff from artificial fertilizers.
We're queering the planet.
@pee_zombie we're destroying the bacterial ecosystems that drive hormone management and underpin immune system function. So of course going on hormones that change immune parameters makes people feel better.
I am looking at making my own gender change hormones to impact gut bacteria and exploring fermenting phytoestrogens.
@pee_zombie the AMAB thing is a sign that western society has invented new social constructions to adapt to the changes this has made in our biology.
With certain individuals more attuned to these changes.

These are normal facets of mammalian expression, but being driven by pollution in our environment.
It's amazing how many ancient medicines used cannabis extracts to modulate health factors ascociated with immune function.
@pee_zombie at some point all these ancient healing traditions were being meme'd out of existence by western christian ruling classes. Using anything that was outside if the purview of the church's role in healing became labeled as witchcraft and sorcery.
And then we had the victorian era.
@pee_zombie the past hundred or so years has been a speeding up on this process. Instead of a church, the powers-that-be, fueled by military funded pharmaceutical science, have created ideological moat around how we model the world.
With science not even realizing the endocannabinoid system existed until ~2010s!
Blind elephant parable.
@pee_zombie I could just arbitrarily predict how to affect the sex of a cow by extrapolating on three different cultures methods of animal husbandry. When you look through the world on this lens some of the stuff just falls out trivially.
Why do you think selling tools to tell Farmers when their cows are in heat is important? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10735110/
@pee_zombie I'm already 5 years ahead on this argument and have figured out a number of microbes that impact gender expression and many of the underlying dietary and environmental factors that underpin it.

Did you know that after hibernation, many mamals have to go back thru puberty?
