Hormone active (endokrine) substances are a real problem in ecology in particular in regards towaste water treatment. They often can already take effect on ng/l concentrations.
They are not put there deliberately to turn frogs gay, but they are the result of necessary uses like hormone treatment and unecessary uses like hormonal contraception or use in cosmetics.
I have no doubt that it was presented poorly by Jones and with ulterior motives, but endokrine substances emitted by human activities are a serious issue.
Yeah, I agree that we should be looking for other solutions, but the pill works well and reliably for a lot of people. I think that what you were suggesting, and I would agree with you, is that we ought to be more focused on the potable water issue in general and removing various human contaminants, including hormones from the equation at the water processing plants.

What are the other options?
Condoms.
With the great side benefits that they also protect against most STDs.
Until they don’t.
I take that over no protection against STDs.
Of course you should think about who you have sex with in regards to STDs either way.
I’m pro hormonal contraceptives for those who want them, but there are other options like copper IUDs

Or death. Sorry, we’re out of cake.
