This should have been done long ago.
Thank you President Biden. The infrastructure guy.
Let the age of plastics, and the synthetic endocrine disruptors they produce (which have been variously linked to increases in autism [1], endometriosis [1], heart disease [1], and gender nonconformity [1], among other things), REIGN SUPREME!
P.S, I’m aware some of what endocrine disruptors have been linked to might seem like controversial claims, but they do not invalidate the lived experiences attached to them. Someone with autism or gender non-conformity isn’t suddenly invalid just because synthetic hormone analogues might have acted as catalysts, anymore than someone with endometriosis will suddenly stop feeling pain just because plastic hormones were highlighted as one possible cause. The endo pains are still real, just as the identities are real… Just like in the previous century lead induced increases in crime and violence were real. The crimes and jail sentences weren’t somehow erased or invalidated just because lead may have been influencing people’s behavioural limits. We are sacks of chemicals, we changed as the composition of what’s in the sack does… Whether that change is from thoughts, education, practice, training, medicine, environmental conditions, habits, experiences, lifestyle, perceptions dreams, ideological shifts, or moods and foods… We’re still humans. All of these factors are involved in our human experiences of life.
Likewise you reading this comment, who you are, the life you’ve lived - some of it will be a product of chemicals you’ve encountered. Some of it will be from thoughts you’ve had, things you’ve learned from the external world. Thoughts are also biochemical processes, our existence and consciousness is …and from the foods our mothers ate, to the flesh that makes us up - it’s all chemicals. Very little of it came from the original sperm and egg, the vast majority came after that, from the external world. We are what we’ve been, what we’ve consumed, and what we’re made of. Regardless of whether it’s deemed synthetic or not. People just don’t like to admit that, so they downvote. Because that’s something bags of chemistry can choose to do!
