Really interesting. I looked up the hormone on the image from the book. I'm wondering if I was exposed as I may have had one of the complications that was listed in wiki (yeah yeah Wikipedia). It's common but I also know my moms OB/Gyn was old school. And the procedure I had done short after birth would have corrected the issues from that complication.
Here's a list I came up with of things that commonly seem to be associated with DES exposure:
Born between 1940 and 1980; mother with risk factors for miscarriage (e.g. diabetes, very young or aged over 40, prior history of miscarriages)
Undescended testicles
Micropenis - a fully formed but considerably shorter than normal penis
Hypospadias
Epidiymal cysts of the testicles (these are apparently Mullerian remnants - fragments of female tissue that would have been absorbed in normal male development)
Vestigial female organs or organ remnants
Intersexed genitals similar to grade 3 PAIS
Other genital abnormalities
Feminine-looking facial features, developing a body structure that's more like the female members of your family than the male ones
Other symptoms of low testosterone such as a lack of body hair, gynecomastica and an inability to build upper body muscle
Very shy, socially passive behaviour as a teenager
Difficulty forming friendships with boys; having a special affinity with girls
Being bullied a lot; having an inability to fight back
Having no interest in sport
People tending to assume you're gay; lots of men being attracted to you
Identifying as a woman, or part of you identifying as a woman while part identifies as a man
Depression
ADHD
Other seemingly non gender related psychological problems
