At first I was like "the fucking what?" and so i looked it up.

Given the fact that the term moose estrogen has only showing up in my searches in relation to this Direct article. I'm going to guess that moose estrogen is not a common term. Or may even be directly misquoted.

They may be looking for "moose estrus" which is sold as a liquid to attract moose for hunting.

Which is pretty much just urine from moose that are in heat.

You probably should have just read the article. The involvement of moose estrogen was just the reason these people were out and about in the area. It had nothing to do with the "road rage", which didn't result in anything happening anyway.

This is the dullest article I have ever wasted my time reading. Literally nothing happened aside from some people being run-of-the-mill dicks to one another.

The headline was sensationalist and OP is karma farming.

I did read it, and it was completely unhelpful in explaining what moose estrogen was.

However, I do conclude that the article is very dull and generally poorly written, and a bit difficult to decipher since they don't give much context on what's Happening.

This is why we need to ensure adequate access to HRT for every transwoman in America.

Because otherwise they'll start buying from the newfies the weird stuff and we'll have moose girls all up in america's eagle bits.

To be fair. (HRT) Estrogen does come for horse semen

thats inaccurate. premarin was made from mare urine, not semen and hasnt been used in most places for a while.

It began, as these things sometimes do, while people were out spreading moose estrogen on trees.

I love this sentence.
