Oils such as, for example, bergamot oil found in Earl Gray teas, or oils in most shampoos or soaps, are known to cause prepubertal gynecomastia in adolescence.
Maybe they should research essential oils a little bit harder. If they disrupt hormones, maybe they could cause gender confusion in youth?
Or maybe not? But shouldn't we find out, since its proven this stuff affects hormones?

"Are known to cause" doing a lot of leg work there given the "study" was 3 boys and consisted of asking their mothers if they used lavender and/or tea tree oil. And that in all 3 cases it was about direct application of the pure oils and nothing to do with shampoos or products containing the oils.
But I agree with more research being conducted. But I also agree with actually reading the studies, particularly their methods results and discussions.

Since they aren't known to spread fringe theories and are generally respectable.
Granted this goes outside of essential oils, yet stays within the realm of endocrine disruption, and claims a wide net of the population affected.

Instead of reading any media's interpretation of scientific studies, because science journalists are notorious for being as bad at science as they are at journalism, how about just reading the actual studies. It's not difficult.
Here's a nice video on how to do it

It's been a few decades so no way I could dig up the study now, but they actually found that people from countries who never experienced certain types of cancer suddenly developed them when they migrated to western nations and adopted their lifestyle.
So something unique to our culture is causing cancers. And probably causing even more problems then that (As the feds said about the UFO's there are known unknowns and unknown unknowns)
