LGBTF? Pesticide Turns Male Frogs into Females

I found it interesting that a simple pesticide could change the sex of an animal. There are people who go through years of injections of testosterone or estrogen, while there are male frogs who are simply exposed to a specific pesticide and are turning into females.
