Overall, this article is a load of crap. The author's interpretation of basic endocrinological data is simply wrong.

Perinatal testosterone masculinizes.
Perinatal estrogen, contrary to conventional (but erroneous) wisdom, also masculinizes.
Adult administration of estrogen to normal males, in large doses, can feminize certain structures, e.g., gynecomastia.

I always continue to wonder which is worse: to be wrong due to ignorance or to lie by ommision.
Aside from the medical jargon and the weapon of big words, I was struck by your clumsy attempt at derailing the main subject through sophistry.

In your various comments, you studiously avoided the critical period between a month after birth through adolescence.
