The enemy of my friend is… hmmm

Instapundit links to a chilling report that’s sure to set off even more confusion in left-wing faculty lounges than it is with hormones across the animal kingdom:

The study itself may have some solid data, but I notice that the news article mixes physiological factors (undescended testes, for example) with psychological factors — men who want to play with tea sets and dolls. How well-understood is the link between psychological factors and physiological factors?

This is purely anecdotal, but one thing I’ve noticed in just the past couple of years, in my job as a medical transcriptionist, is the increased number of men with testicular hypofunction in need of monthly testosterone shots. These men range in age from mid-30s to 60s and have no other health problems, not even erectile dysfunction, which is another increasing malady but not necessarily related to the former (sometimes but not always).
I’ve read that soy and soy-based products have a lot of natural estrogens in them which can also play havoc with men, so it’s not just pesticides or other man-made chemicals.
Kinda scary as I love men and manly attributes.

..but this report is published by the Independent, a certified whacko lefty source. I wonder if they published this report as a way of getting conservatives (who, the left assumes, are repulsed by the idea of girly men) to support anti-corporate legislation. The enemy of my enemy…
Some of the ‘gender bending’ effects they mention, like the prevalence of girl babies or the feminization of frogs are long-existing adaptations that allow threatened populations to produce more offspring. Frogs and (perhaps) fish are known for this (remember Jurassic Park I). Fish and frog populations have been severely depleted lately. This could be a positive adaptation.

“How well-understood is the link between psychological factors and physiological factors?”
You ask a good question James. I’ll ask my shrink next time I see him and his post-gendered girlfriend at the Tupperware Regatta.
