Why men's testosterone is so low (video)
Joseph Everett, What I've Learned, 11/15/20; Sheldon S., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
(What I've Learned) [Mood is strange, and so much of it depends on our testosterone (male and masculinizing hormone called androgen) levels. Social factors can depress our testosterone, just as xenoestrogens (xenoestrogens) in the environment. The herbicide atrazine (a teratogen) really does turn frogs gay or into females, as Alex Jones used to scream about. These chemicals mimic estrogen. Compounds in plastics like the plasticizer BPA and dangerous and can turn us fat, anxious, depressed, weak, effeminate, possibly even sending over the social contagion that accounts for some transgender affectations and behaviors.]
