Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Estrogen/testosterone balance probably. There are certain dietary factors that can change this. Tofu for instance has a chemical pretty analogous to estrogen, hence the term “soy boy”
Plant estrogens, especially in the instance of soy, have been overwhelmingly shown to have no effects on our endocrine system. If growing breasts were as easy as eating tofu, a lot of transfem people would've been doing that over prescription meds
That logic makes a lot of sense. I only read this one scientific article which took a compilation of other findings, but it seems the short answer is: we don’t know yet and more research is needed, but if there are effects they are likely quite minimal.

If this was true then every Asian man and woman would have tig ol biddies which is obviously untrue.
