What is your view on human endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which are present in a prolific multitude of modern chemicals used in human manufacturing inputs & outputs (herbicide, fungicide, pesticide, plus a huge proportion of consumer goods of nearly all categories), and at certain concentrations result in hormonal & reproductive system interference & cell mutation in animals, that is, the increasing economic importance and social harm of endocrine disputers, relative the to the correlated increase in trans gender identity in the political & economic areas of society?

- are endocrine disrupters endocrine-disrupting chemical proliferating in human environments? --> yes

- do endocrine disrupters result in hormonal & reproductive system interference & cell mutation in animals? --> yes

- is trans genderism increasingly effecting human politics & economies? --> yes

- is there a relationship between the above three points? ...

While I think it's an interesting question, I am not sure what this means. I can list plenty of other things that are temporally-localized that are more likely to explain an increase in diversity of sexuality and gender in modern societies, but I am more curious how transgender folks are affecting* economies.

As a woke person, I consider these important questions.

Only a tiny minority of human beings are transgender. Even in cultures where the concept of a third gender is celebrated, it is a rare phenomenon.

Canada is the first country to provide census data on transgender and non-binary people: "Of the nearly 30.5 million people in Canada aged 15 and older living in a private household in May 2021, 100,815 were transgender (59,460) or non-binary (41,355), accounting for 0.33% of the population in this age group."

As someone who lived in Thailand for a few years, I'm going to tell you that you are totally wrong.

"There are an estimated 314,808 trans people living in Thailand" https://weareaptn.org/

Thailand has a total population of 71.6 million.
