Testosterone levels, however, are and have been decreasing everywhere
These are both (xenoestrogens and the trans movement) deliberate attacks on maleness.

Yeah I really think there is something going on in the environment, either birth control or pesticides or platics or some other drug like antidepressants. It seems epidemic. It could be a cultural shift but I think its something else

I was researching tagamet and I found similar problems with that too. And I know there’s some prostate meds that are anti-androgenic. How much of this shit gets in to the water supply? And the food?

More studies have to be done to really understand what's going and why. That's going to take more research that's invested in finding direct solutions: whether it's a particular type of estrogen that's involved in stimulating those pathways, or purely androgenic, or something else. The issue lies in that we're not exactly a carbon copy of one another, so while we have a basic anatomical guide to go by and understand processes to happen in a typical way-- there's a spectrum of what is considered normal. Having large study groups helps to find an average, but you can't just dissect everyone down to a molecular level and monitor each individual physiological action and pathway for each person to find their particular cause (but that would be pretty fucking neat to see a program that could do that).
