The claim
Estrogen from birth control pills is contaminating tap water, and drinking it can emasculate men.
Rating
Research indicates that birth control pills contribute to less than 1% of estrogens found in drinking water. The alleged link between trace amounts of estrogen in water and gender dysphoria or “emasculation” lacks scientific support.
