Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”

    Soy is not feminizing. Plant estrogens are not mammal estrogen. You have to actually take estrogen. It’s really inconvenient.

      You are correct but it’s a common right wing myth. The Soy Boy diet making men wimpy girls was super common on right wing media.

        I hate how the fucking conservatives have turned it into a talking point. Soy makes me pee out my butt, but if I’m too loud about avoiding soy, people assume I’m scared of the phytoestrogens.

        It’s also a myth that appears in trans communities on occasion. The right wing misogynist to trans-girl pipeline is alive and well.

          Yeah the soy myth was based on single flawed and debunked study from the 1940s or 50s. Plenty of further research proves their shit wrong in every way.

            Nearly all studies cited by right wingers are really old and debunked. They cherry pick to the one thing they can find that supports their views.
