It does have some protoestrogens but to me that is a positive because I want to look fem. Most men have low estrogen and it makes them uglier and psychotic. The only time estrogen really feminizes you beyond giving you a better body shape and slightly healthier skin and stuff, is when you are taking a high amount of it.

Most men have too low of estrogen and this causes mental issues, depression, it gives them a lot of fat around their stomach while being lanky everywhere else. It causes all kinds of weird little issues.

Perhaps you mean phytoestrogen? Another commenter suggested that the applicable phytoestrogen found in soy may actually be protective against excess estrogen.

I get that. But you are making a number of statements/claims about the effects of estrogen on men, so at the very least it would help your credibility to get the word right. Hell, when I tried Googling "protoestrogen", the Google AI said it wasn't a word in any kind of normal use but was in a 1998 paper about the possible origins of estrogen.

Shit man, I think I need to hop on this soy boy train myself!

It's fitting too because I've been taking in a little extra protein and putting on some muscle for the past few months due to some hobby stuff that led to construction projects, lol.

Yeah don't fear the estrogen. Most men could use a bit more of it.
