Why boys are turning into girls... a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes, rubber boots, bed linen, food, nappies, sunscreen lotion and moisturising cream.

My "journalist writing about subject he knows nothing about" alarm just went off.
I also liked this comment:
that last part is actually probably true
Are you sure?
Is it not possible that all those chemicals from plastics, agriculture, pollution etc are all working together in the human body and causing me to look less manly instead of the pink frilly dress I'm wearing?
All news articles should be taken with a grain of salt.
The "lost boys" phenomenon is real though. I don't know how many there are (probably a tiny percentage), but some girls are genetically XY. It's interesting. The default developmental pathway is female. So if it gets disrupted for some reason, the embryo never deviates to the male state.
I don't know if it's a new phenomenon. I suspect it's not. Still, it's interesting to think about.
