Default Common weedkiller turns male frogs into females
It doesn't surprise me.

Feminization of fish species has been known of for awhile, evidently due to pollution of water with oral contraceptives. And feminization of male humans is slowly becoming a real problem.

At this point I would not recommend that anyone use untreated tap water to cook with or as drinking water, for pregnant women, or (to a lesser extent) young boys. At a minimum an activated carbon filter should be used to remove steroids from the water before using.
