Endocrine Disruptors and the Transgendered
It's a fact that harmful chemicals like DDT are responsible for certain intersex conditions, but have the increased presence of human-made chemicals in the environment created a rise in the transgender population? For an environmental perspective on the incidence of transsexuality and intersexuality, read Christine Johnson's Endocrine Disruptors and the Transgendered. Johnson is a co-founder of TransAdvocate, an educational and advocatory site about endocrine disruptors and trans civil rights.
