This is a misrepresentation of UC Berkeley research. https://news.berkeley.edu/2010/03/01/frogs/ Atrazine exposure may cause frogs to develop into a sex not aligned with their genetics, affecting hormonal balance, not sexual preference. https://www.reuters.com/article/science-us-weedkiller-frogs/common-weedkiller-turns-male-frogs-into-females-idUKTRE6204RG20100301/ The EU banned Atrazine in 2004; it is still widely used in the U.S. https://usrtk.org/pesticides/atrazine/#:~:text=Atrazine%2C%20an%20endocrine%2Ddisrupting%20herbicide,widely%20used%20in%20the%20U.S.
