From anecdotal evidence it seems for some people the phytoestrogen still activates estrogen pathways. Probably has genetic variation on the effects.

Anecdotal evidence? How does someone anecdotally detect that their estrogen pathway has been activated?
By growing big moobs.
then why is that not the case for countries with a significantly higher proportion of soy in their diets such as countries in Asia? if what you said is true then once would expect to notice it
Like I said, genetic variation.
so you suspect that some gene (evidence for which also exists "anecdotally") triggers a genetic response only in countries where this type of food isn't regularly consumed? because then this sounds like a wild guess prompted by suspicions and pseudoscience
