Pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females

Atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

The 75 percent that are chemically castrated are essentially “dead” because of their inability to reproduce in the wild, reports UC Berkeley’s Tyrone B. Hayes, professor of integrative biology.

Who has the link for the gay swords?

Wait. Youre telling me that guy from the memes was telling the truth?

So what else is also true?

Was the pandemic and the lockdown really orchestrated by the government to change the batteries of all the pigeons too?

I wouldn't consider frogs changing sex to be "gay" , so it's not exactly true. But yes, the basis of the claim ("does something to frogs") is correct and arguably worth being worried about
