copypasta of documentary description:
The last few decades have seen steady and dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer.
At the same time, boys are now far more at risk of suffering from ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and dyslexia.
The Disappearing Male takes a close and disturbing look at what many doctors and researchers now suspect are responsible for many of these problems: a class of common chemicals that are ubiquitous in our world.
Found in everything from shampoo, sunglasses, meat and dairy products, carpet, cosmetics and baby bottles, they are called "hormone mimicking" or "endocrine disrupting" chemicals and they may be starting to damage the most basic building blocks of human development.
This was a big story in the 1990s
The Feminization of Nature by Deborah Cadbury (1997) (archive.org full copy)
Details how the UK govt. discovered genital mutilation from endocrine disrupting chemicals in UK rivers and issued D-Notices to the press, which threatens publishers with jail if they print anything about it. It was eventually re-discovered by other scientists and the D-Notice was withdrawn.
It also includes the story of the chemical DES, which was prescribed for decades and deformed grandchildren, making them infertile or other defects.

It was all a big story for a while and then it fell out of conciousness
gender changing chemicals in the water with government knowledge which was under UK Government Censorship until 1999 is certainly "conspiracy" material.
