Male Frogs Becoming Female; Female Frogs Object
In an alarming development, male tadpoles, when exposed to pollutants
that either are or resemble estrogen, frequently grow up to become
female frogs. Apparently, the transformation is occurring with
such frequency that it partly accounts for the dramatic decrease
scientists have recorded in the frog population.
On a contentious
note, female frogs, having observed the proclivity, are apparently
quite incensed that males would presume to encroach on their
sexual bailiwick. Adding to the concern about the decline in
frog populations, the females are threatening to stop having
sex with the remaining males.
There is only one difficulty with the frog’s feminist
movement. The females are having a hard time deciding which of
them are authentic females and which, in a former incarnation,
were males. Until the lady frogs develop a reliable way to determine
their own origin, it appears that only intuition can guide those
females who wish to proceed without knowing for certain what
side of the female faction they belong to. Since very few are
eager to deny having sex with frogs they were at one time identical
to in terms of sex, the movement seems unlikely to gain as wide
a following as it might.
