There is that weird conspiracy theory that soybeans contain an estrogen adjacent substance which makes men more feminine. Complete nonsense but it gets especially funny when these people are advocating for cows milk instead of soy milk, because the former actually contains mammalian estrogen.

Soy does contain plant based estrogens but it's in meaningless quantities.

Some pregnancy institutions do tell pregnant ladies to refrain from soy products. But that's because they consider the research to not be complete yet. So it's just a precaution based on lack of research and not on any actual known harm.
