It will be very telling when many Greens fail to get into their usual environmental uproar over this water purity issue:
A third of male fish in English rivers are changing sex due to ‘gender-bending’ pollution, alarming research shows. Experts say female hormones from the contraceptive pill and HRT are being washed into our rivers and causing male fish to produce eggs. The problem – which is country-wide – has raised fears that the pollutants could also be contaminating our drinking water – and even be affecting the fertility of men.
Fear of the pill being banned is the great feminist bugaboo, even more so than their abortion fixation, although they don’t talk it up nearly as much since no one is seriously pushing the concept these days. But if pumping estrogen into the water supply is responsible for even half of the things that scientists are beginning to suspect, there will likely be some sort of push for a ban from serious environmental groups.
Of course, the trendy Greens, who are only enviro granola out of a strange desire to have sex with individuals with personal care issues, will leap off that bandwagon faster than fantasy football owners abandoning Priest Holmes in favor of Larry Johnson.
