> It's dangerous to push the idea that minorities are caused by chemicals.

But if it is true it could be dangerous to them for us not to discuss the possibility. If they are people with a medical problem rather than a perfectly naturally occurring identity then we may not be giving them the treatments that will help them most while causing them the least harm. What if there were treatments that would mitigate or reverse the effects of environmental exposure and allow them to feel normal with the gender expression typical of their sex?
