Forced Fish Feminization

[HBox]

More and more male fish around the world are developing female traits. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29509301/)

Around the world, increasing numbers of male fish are developing female traits — growing new sexual organs and sometimes even producing eggs. The phenomenon that has been blamed mostly on chemicals that get into the water and mimic the female hormone estrogen.

But a new study puts some of the blame on an entirely different class of chemicals — ones that block the action of male hormones called androgens.

I just posted this for the thread title.

The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp (2007)



Brown and Stokes investigate the death of a young man found hanging from a tree. They believe this to be a hate crime as the man had breasts and is believed to be a pre-operative transsexual. As the investigation continues however, they learn he worked at a local water treatment plant and may have been up to something else entirely. Sidle and Lake investigate when a skeleton is found at the construction site for a new hotel. The site was once the Rampart Hotel owned by Catherine Willows' father. Her mother provides valuable information on the case. Grissom and Sidle decide on their future.

Nah, just pissy and cranky. I'm FREEZING here at the office again.

Pitching non Pill-use as a "green" alternative troubles me, though (http://www.slate.com/id/2212648/).

its all good chica.
it was 83F yest am. i was in my bathing suit.
i suddenly land in snowy nj with a balmy 18F temp.

ps- some awesome snorkeling done by me. saw a lot more fish than i did 3 years ago.
fish i didnt think existed in this region. hopefully some of this estrogen pollution will help restock the reefs.

ps..

just thinking about the DR. The only protection these people use is the pull n pray method, which just by driving through town, isnt working well for them.
