      Damn near anything makes the frogs trans, that was the whole plot of the first Jurassic Park. They used frog DNA to fill in the missing bits, and accidentally added the voluntary sex change gene, allowing the dinos to propagate.

          That’s…actually wrong for once.

          The entire plot of the first Jurassic Park was caused by (a) corporate espionage and (b) lack of information about frog biology. (a) directly led to the security systems being sabotaged, and (b) led directly to dinosaurs reproducing into a population the system was not designed for.

          Unless you think capitalism is the reason people don’t plan for events that cannot be reasonably expected to occur given the information at the time. Note that the paleontologist did not immediately flag the issue either during the intro presentation, so it was obscure enough that even the external experts (not the capitalists) wouldn’t have considered it. In universe.
