The contamination may also offer a clue to a mysterious shift in the sex of babies. Normally 106 boys are born for every 100 girls: it is thought to be nature's way of making up for the fact that men were more likely to be killed hunting or in conflict. But the proportion of females is rising, so much so that some 250,000 babies who statistically should have been boys have ended up as girls in Japan and the United States alone. In Britain, the discrepancy amounts to thousands of babies a year.

Posssible interest to your ping list.

I’ve suspected the prevalence of the birth control pill as the cause of this.

I mean even the fish are becoming female.

Well that makes no sense unless they are claiming that the chemicals are not only messing with boys' hormones, but actually TURNING BOY BABIES INTO GIRL BABIES in utero.
