The gayness question is theoretical.
They have shown precursers to these hormones and so they say they'll
turn you gay.
Whereas the study below shows these precursers should seem to work
just like Genistein has been shown to work .. deep in the mitochondria
of the cell.

Oxidative stress, bioenergetic failure and mitochondrial dysfunction
are all implicated in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases such
as Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The mitochondrial involvement in neurodegenerative diseases reflects
the regulatory role mitochondrial failure plays in both necrotic cell
death and apoptosis.
The potent feminizing hormone, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), is
neuroprotective in a host of cell and animal models of stroke and
neurodegenerative diseases.
The discovery that 17alpha-estradiol, an isomer of E2, is equally as
neuroprotective as E2 yet is >200-fold less active as a hormone, has
permitted development of novel, more potent analogs where
neuroprotection is independent of hormonal potency.
Studies of structure-activity relationships and mitochondrial function
have led to a mechanistic model in which these steroidal phenols
intercalate into cell membranes where they block lipid peroxidation
reactions, and are in turn recycled. Indeed, the parental estrogens
and novel analogs stabilize mitochondria under Ca(2+) loading
otherwise sufficient to collapse membrane potential.
The neuroprotective and mitoprotective potencies for a series of
estrogen analogs are significantly correlated, suggesting that these
compounds prevent cell death in large measure by maintaining
functionally intact mitochondria.
This therapeutic strategy is germane not only to sudden mitochondrial
failure in acute circumstances, such as during a stroke or myocardial
infarction, but also to gradual mitochondrial dysfunction associated
with chronic degenerative disorders such as AD.
