The male gender is in danger, with incalculable consequences for both humans and wildlife, startling scientific research from around the world reveals.

 

The research – to be detailed tomorrow in the most comprehensive report yet published – shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people.

 

Backed by some of the world´s leading scientists, who say that it "waves a red flag" for humanity and shows that evolution itself is being disrupted, the report comes out at a particularly sensitive time for ministers. On Wednesday, Britain will lead opposition to proposed new European controls on pesticides, many of which have been found to have "gender-bending" effects.

 

It also follows hard on the heels of new American research which shows that baby boys born to women exposed to widespread chemicals in pregnancy are born with smaller penises and feminised genitals.

 

"This research shows that the basic male tool kit is under threat," says Gwynne Lyons, a former government adviser on the health effects of chemicals, who wrote the report.

Wildlife and people have been exposed to more than 100,000 new chemicals in recent years, and the European Commission has admitted that 99 per cent of them are not adequately regulated. There is not even proper safety information on 85 per cent of them.

Once when I was in the army waiting to be vaccinated in a row with tens of fellow soldiers that thing you are talking about did happen. The guys doing the injections were so tired they were just darting the needle into wherever it hits. Some guys did actually faint when his turn was close. You discover lots of things about people when you live together with so many of them.

Really glad you brought this up AEnigma. {#lang_emotions_flowers}

 

It´s so subtle and invasive, and has been going on for years.

 

The Environmental Working Group has a great database of product studies.

Things those boys and girls do with their bodies. Of course, it is a personal freedom but I think piercing and tattoo stuff are both unhealthy and unnatural.

 

Once, in the medieval times when I was much younger and unmarried, I would like the looks of a woman from a distance nice curly, blond hair but when that women came near me I would detest the plastic smell of the hair and the sticky lipstick. For me, a woman must be as natural as possible... Many a woman would be more beautiful without the thick make up they like wearing.

Of course it is unnatural - that´s the whole point isn´t it???

 

I feel rather unadorned at the moment as I only have 6 piercings since my lip piercing healed up.......but I will get it redone along with others.   And I am rather craving a new tatoo.......just got to find the right design!
