The globalists, the gay frogs, the reprotoxic tampons, it's all real. All of it.

Besides the reflection plastic pollution prompts on consumer capitalism and anthropocentrism, what interests me about this example is the role microplastics may play in queering these new generations of plastic-bodies. As queer ecology commentators like Heather Davis7 and Max Liborion8 note, microplastics frequently absorb endocrine-disrupting chemicals, causing reproductive anomalies such as early on-set puberty, infertility, miscarriages, and the feminisation of XY foetuses. This plastic-induced remoulding of flesh incites unruly bodily becomings that can queer the sexuality and gender of affected individuals by altering patterns of sexual emergence, neurological development, and prompting ambiguous, fluid states of being9. While this is not to say that all queerness is solely caused by microplastics, it does suggest plastics are themselves inherently queer through their ability to disrupt the traditional binaries of as male/female, natural/unnatural, and human/non-human. And with plastic production expected to double in the next 20 years10, it is likely these effects will be amplified, leading to an increasingly queer future.
