I wish this were true...but, it isn't. Some of my sister's PhD work was on this, and the data just doesn't support any affect on male sexual hormone levels in people fed soy formula.
You know what food is really gay? Hot dogs. Pretty much the definition of phallic. And hot apple pie is basically a vagina with flaky crust. What kind of a man identifies with a steaming plate of vagina?
If yer ESTROGEN level goes up, so does yer TESTOSTERONE to match it! And vice versa, which is why male bodybuilders who take steroids commonly get (what they refer to as) "bitch tits" when their estrogen levels skyrocket.
You know, I remember reading "Prevention Magazine" about three or four years ago and they had an article about not eating too much soy while pregnant. I only remember it because my sister-in-law was pregnant, and really big on soy. Her daughter was fine, and by the time she had her son, she'd discovered that soy made her stomach ache. I actually kept the magazine for a time, but of course I can't find it now.

I grew up with a grandmother who read Prevention religiously. By the age of ten I'd figured out that Prevention wrote headlines and articles primarily to sell magazines and, if you pitted all of their articles against each other, EVERYTHING caused cancer and EVERYTHING prevented it, and EVERYTHING was both deadly and healthy.
