The public association of soy with xenoestrogens is what I was talking about, not actual consumption. Soy's a good dietary staple but it's hampered by the (probably incorrect) perception that it's going to feminise men.

Soy also has negative associations on the subcontinent. To the point where I have to overcome a bit of an ick reflex to eat soy, similar to eating ham (being from a Muslim country). My mom thinks soy causes cancer.

I have never heard this - the local ISKCON temple serves soy nuggets at their Sunday dinners without any outcry and the Pakistani Shan masala boxes I use often call for soya leaves.
