Lots of folks. Endocrine disruption is a common discussion here and other places. It's debatable how much is related to plastics, hormones in the water, air pollution, or other factors.

To paraphrase one bankrupt demagogue: "it's makin the frogs gay"

Did you mean birth control pills or just birth control in general?
I know it exists, but I don't know what form the medication is in.

But I know it's so ubiquitous it is in the water.

Yes, birth control medication has been extensively research.
Certain aspects have, others have not. You can see by the downvotes that asking the question is seen as a political attack by many.
Massive hormone therapy at a never-before-attempted scale might have an effect…
Didn't think this was controversial.
Not just individuals, but relationships too.
