The Missing Piece
There is a missing piece of information in the Scriptural, medical and social gender variation discussion.
Many environmental chemicals and toxins are estrogen/hormone mimics and endocrine, enzyme and chromosome disruptors. Literally these substances in relevant doses at critical split second moment, often in utero, can change boys into girls and girls into boys. They can cause them to be both male and female, or feminize/masculinize them on a spectrum of variations.
Twin related events in utero and genetic anomalies can cause similar variations.
Natural toxins and estrogenic plants such as mercury, soy etc. have probably been responsible for rare cases of gender variance throughout history. The soup of toxic chemicals today has increased these incidences drastically.
Public social responses to these poorly understood dynamics have often been harsh. Churches and many of their leaders who typically readily assist those in need have often misinterpreted and rejected many gender variant applicants who sought help. On the other hand, extreme secular gender ideologies have substituted themselves for more Scriptural assistance the Church could have provided. Neither of these approaches necessarily reflect Christ. Additional "missing piece" information can improve understanding and support these dear gender variant people and their families and churches.
This web page focuses on that "missing piece" of endocrine and genetic gender disruption. It examines as well the complicated personal/social dynamics of a rainbow of toxin induced variations in the light of Scripture. God has graciously and lovingly remembered. He has provided guidance and instruction for the care of these precious friends among us.
Embracing the "Missing Piece" in Gender Conversations
This website shines a light on a pivotal "missing piece" in gender discussions; the impact of environmental factors on gender development. In an era dominated by chemicals and disruptors, this web page offers insight into these influences, heralding an understanding that aligns with both Scripture and science. By engaging with these resources, you’ll gain a deeper comprehension of the complexities affecting many lives today. Together, let’s advocate for Scripturally and medically informed perspectives and discerning, compassionate, and appropriate dialogue for all.
Advocating for Church Support: Providing Comfort and Scriptural Understanding
Let’s reclaim the Church's role as a Spiritual oasis and physical sanctuary where, environmentally speaking, nutritious, health building green pastures and still, refreshing, socially stigma free waters abound. Let’s return to Christ-like, Biblically based care, where every soul is welcomed with warmth and wise, informed understanding.
May our interactions with gender variant friends focus on nurturing educated, open, faith and science informed conversations at the Throne of Grace.
Empower your pastor and congregation with relevant Scripture, and "missing piece" endocrine disruption, information to fully embrace this mission.
Simultaneously it is wise to provide a physically healthy, chemically clean and less toxic church environment for your families.
Together, let’s lead the Church into a safer, more compassionate future. Be a beacon of hope and join this endeavor.
How can our churches help? What are some specific environmental factors that affect gender?
We can nurture each other Spiritually and morally, in physically healthy, environmentally friendly worship spaces. Ie., “green pastures”. We can promote calm stigma free social relationships in which the sheep can relax and partake of the Water of Life (still waters).
Research shows that various environmental chemicals, toxins, and genetic factors can impact gender by disrupting natural developmental processes, especially in utero. These influences can result in a spectrum of gender or attraction variations (and disruptions to many other body systems also).
Here is a partial list of endocrine disrupting substances. Many of them can be fairly easily avoided or substituted with healthier safer choices. When we search for replacements it often helps to think back to the materials and substances our grandparents and great grandparents relied on before these current toxic products became available.
- Personal care products including makeup
- Many household cleaners
- Soy based processed food products and other estrogenic plant foods
- Many pesticides and herbicides including atrazine and glyphosate
- Artificial fragrances
- Flame retardants
- Many sunscreens
- Many grease proof, stick proof, stain proof, water resistant, wrinkle proof coatings on disposable food wrappers, disposable paper plates and cups, microwave popcorn bags, non stick pans, furniture, fabrics, carpets, etc. (PFOA's and PFA's)
- Prescription hormones flushed into the water supply, not removed by municipal water treatment systems
- Mercury
- Chlorine
- Labor inducing drugs
- Vaccines contain endocrine disrupting chemicals and aborted fetal cell DNA fragments of both baby girls and baby boys
- Some artificial lights (LED’s)
- Many drycleaning chemicals
- A search of The Environmental Working Group provides many excellent articles on endocrine disruptors and how to manage them. Here is a simple overview guide.
