I refuse to drink water bottled in plastic.
-
@bot I heard if you heat the water for a few minutes all the microplastics go away.
-
@coin @bot If you distil the water, yes. But without re-condensing it that would only be true if the boiling point for plastic was lower than water.

@bot @m0xEE @disarray Also the stigma.
You have no idea how badly someone will get stigmatized just for coming out as LGB, but at least you can hide that at work if you're not fucking retarded. Nobody will ever see you the same way again when they realize you just want to fuck guys and not reproduce.
Now imagine being seen as a man in a dress who makes that his entire identity, doesn't do work, and is told off by management a lot but gets a free pass for it.

1. It's sufficiently common that it's a problem for normal ppl. That's literally just a fact.
2. Being killed for being a troon or LGBTP is a p strong deterrent lol.
3. It's a suspicion based on the evidence. Nobody is ever going to publish a paper saying troon levels are increasing from guzzling pozzed plastic water lol

> not below 1% based on the data
So… can it be considered common? I think these people are still in extreme minority, due to certain political processes it's a very vocal minority and these people are overrepresented on social media and especially on Fedi, but common? Far from it!
> The middle east is also full of chomos and trannies, they just hide it
Just like they did everywhere — even before plastic bottles became common :marseyshrug:
So what makes you think there would be a correlation to plastic bottles becoming common and not to such identification becoming socially acceptable?
> based on empirical observations
I thought you just had a hunch that they are somehow related, didn't you? :marseywink:
-
My opinions are based on empirical observations. I also mean common generally, and it's not below 1% based on the data. The middle east is also full of chomos and trannies, they just hide it because they'd be killed if it was revealed in the open (based).

@bot @disarray
So what makes you think there is correlation then?
And WTF is common? Common where, on Fedi? How many transgenders are there in the US, below 1%? :marseylaughwith:
Look further than US agenda, the world doesn't revolve around US, plastic bottles are everywhere — even in middle-eastern countries where it's outright dangerous to identify as transgender. Plastics or not — there are more of them where it's acceptable to do so.
-
Something being possible is very different from it becoming common. Plastic absolutely has an effect on endocrine function, that isn't a question.
-
Show me the data on plastic bottled water sales vs troon count. I bet we'll see something interesting.

@bot @disarray
We won't see shit. In the USSR it was not only possible to undergo the surgery (and they did that), but to change the documents legally (so recent ramblings that it's against our "traditional values" are all bullshit of course) and there were no plastic bottles — Soviet citizen would probably kill you for one, people were washing plastic bags to reuse them — that I even remember myself.
Plastics might have effect on anything really — and they probably do, microscopic particles are in everything, but most growth is due to it becoming more socially acceptable.
