furthermore endocrine disruptors in general are not a conspiracy theory
i mean i could do the same thing you guys are doing and claim that because the government has said we need to reduce the population for sustainability and products leaching endocrine disruptors are being promoted by the government then we can draw connections and say alex jones is right
but that would not be reasonable, i think what should be done is that we use the scientific method which is breaking things into parts and analysing them individually to form conclusions

No. It's a conspiracy theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrazine#Amphibians
There is zero empirical evidence that follows the scientific method that supports Alex Jones's assertions.
And even if it did, Mammals and Amphibians are very different... Some Amphibians will change their sex if there is a lack of one sex in an environment.

the second statement here does not logically follow from the first
you can have a preference for something without holding other things in contempt

If you have a preference for Heterosexuality in the general population, then you will generally hold it's opposite, Homosexuality in contempt, especially when you start conflating it with various crazy conspiracy theories.

I have provided evidence.

"No. It's a conspiracy theory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrazine#Amphibians"
first off wikipedia is not a valid source of evidence but regardless, did you actually read this?
"Its principal finding was that susceptibility of wood frog tadpoles to infection by E. trivolvis is increased only when hosts were exposed to an atrazine concentration of 30 ng/L and not to 3 ng/L."
"A 2008 study reported that tadpoles developed deformed hearts and impaired kidneys and digestive systems when chronically exposed to atrazine concentrations of 10 ppm in their early stages of life."
"A 2010 Hayes study concluded that atrazine rendered 75% of male frogs sterile and turned one in 10 into females"
"In 2010, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) tentatively concluded that environmental atrazine "at existing levels of exposure" was not affecting amphibian populations in Australia consistent with the 2007 EPA findings."
the contention here is about what concentrations cause the frogs to become sterile and change their sex not that it doesn't happen at all
"And even if it did, Mammals and Amphibians are very different... Some Amphibians will change their sex if there is a lack of one sex in an environment."
yes mammals and amphibians are different but endocrine disruptors have adverse effects on both groups do dismiss that as a conspiracy theory is nonsensical
"If you have a preference for Heterosexuality in the general population, then you will generally hold it's opposite, Homosexuality in contempt"
you understand that you've pretty much described every human population that has ever existed right? its kind of necessary for most people to reproduce since that's kind of necessary to replace the people that die
that has nothing to do with homosexuality as a lifestyle, its simply a fact of reality
"especially when you start conflating it with various crazy conspiracy theories."
to reiterate endocrine disruptors being harmful, atrazine being one example is not a conspiracy theory
"I have provided evidence."
you apparently didn't read your own source
