"WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Fairfax County will push Virginia legislators to explore ways to cut pollutants linked to androgynous or "intersex" fish found in the Potomac River, supervisors decided this week.

The intersex phenomenon, in which male bass are found with eggs in their testes, raised enough red flags to prompt a congressional hearing in October 2006."

Ok These fish storys have gone too far.   

They are now "transgendered fish"

makes you wish for the good old days when fish only changed sex

But you must admit that the bass in that prom dress looked AbFab.

So, the recent boom of human ->-bleeped-<- around the world is related with increasing levels of environmental pollutants?

By the way, about 45 years ago, my mom lived in a pristine village where virtually no pollutant existed and I was born. But, who knows? Various medicines were already availabel at that time.

In a word. Yes. there is a long history of these many "fish stories"  linked to endocrine disrupters 

Do fish really need an umbrella?
