Gender imbalance...

Having just listened to an article on the TV news about over demand for NHS services and private services to assist young people towards transgender I have to wonder what is wrong in society.

I am not making any assumptions on people who decide to transgender but ask the question was all this hidden in the past, are children being "pushed" by parents who wanted a child of the opposite sex or is there something in our ever changing world that is causing an additional hormone imbalance in our bodies?

Scientific research has stated that Estrogen compounds have been detected in influent and effluent of sewage, there are also  concerns about estrogen levels in natural waters and their effect on fish physiology and other aquatic wild life.  Steroidal estrogens have been detected in effluents and influent from a variety of apartments of the environment; in particular, soil and water bodies at regions near Sewage Treatment Plants

Now-a-days there is a massive consumption of chicken, far more than in our grandparents days...chicken estrogen is identical to human estrogen—they're the same molecule.

Are we consuming some of these higher estrogen levels in every day life?

So what about testosterone? Well yes again we have hormones and steroids are given to livestock to help improve the production of beef. ...  testosterone, and progesterone—steroid hormones added to promote growth and production. We then go on to consume these products.

Food for thought, or for sex change ?

Society is now obsessed on how we as a human race are destroying our planet, perhaps thought and science should now also investigate how were are changing our bodies.
