Your being a big white guy visibly unaffected by soy is strictly anecdotal evidence - perhaps you aren't affected by it.

The plain reality here is that we don't yet know the full effects of a diet high in soy has on the body, so I'd err on the side of letting studies come out with something more conclusive. In any case, shouldn't we be consuming within moderation anyways?

you could replace the word 'soy' with 'meat' or 'eggs' or 'bread' there and the sentence would be equally true, and equally useless.

Well, soy is a staple part of the traditional Okinawa diet, so it can't be that bad.
