The really funny thing about this is OP is egregiously wrong.

Soy doesn't contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen, which not only doesn't produce any estrogen-like side-effect, but actively prevents our bodies from taking and producing estrogenic hormones.

This is all very ironic, considering drinking ~~excessive~~ cows milk ~~leeches calcium out of our bones and~~ exposes us to a smorgasbord of hormones not designed for humans.

Soy is shit tier anyway, oat milk all the way.

Out of all the things you can make out of soy, why milk? Tofu exists and it's grand-master based food. I'll smash several plates of mapo tofu without hesitation. Soy sauce, edamame, all ridiculously good shit.

I disagreed with you until last night about tofu. But gods damn that orange tofu I had last night was just excellent. Good tofu is apparently something that exists and was just always out of reach

People keep saying it's nice, but I've never had any good stuff. I would try it again if thought there was a reasonable chance I'd like it!

It was crispy and kinda tough and tossed in orange sauce at a vaguely pan-Asian restaurant.

Damn, I'm in the UK so no easy way to go to the same restaurant/chain!

Yeah it’s just a small single location place anyways. I will say I don’t eat much tofu because I didn’t quit meat until I was in a relationship with someone who can’t eat soy, so it may just be common for hole in the wall East Asian restaurants to have amazing tofu
