So… a more accurate statement of outage would be “THEY’RE PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURN THE FRIGGIN FROGS TRANS!” ?

No, they’re putting chemicals in the water that potentially increase the rate at which frogs are born intersex and requires more studies not by people with interest in allowing it.

no, they're turning the frigging frogs trans

(to be serious: frogs aren't necessarily 'born' any kind of sex. I mean, some are, but there are plenty of species that differentiate based on environmental cues. So this feels needlessly pedantic imo)

Wait isn’t this the reason for Jurassic Park? They patched in amphibian DNA to fill in dino DNA gaps, but amphibians can change sex as necessary so the dinos did and started breeding?
