Most of what I report there comes from real world experience, from having done a lot of research into the way hormones work, particularly the effect of estrogen on physically normal males, personal experience related to my sister's sexual reassignment and talking to other MTF transsexuals of varied ages, talking to the endocrinologists, gynecologists, and surgeons who treated my sister, and from my wife, who is a nurse.
The question was related to a general trend towards early puberty in girls and lower testosterone levels in men. This implies that whatever is causing these effects is having a broad effect on the population, that people with no apparent physical disorders are showing these changes.
I have no doubt that what you say is true, that people with adrenal disorders are sensitive to much smaller fluctuations in hormonal levels. That's not what we were talking about here, which is the effect of ingested hormones on the development of otherwise normal girls and grown men. There are too many other factors to control for to blame trace amounts of ingested estrogen.
