Trending mis/disinformation: “Be Careful With Birth Control😳”

Summary
This podcast-style video is part of a persistent social media trend claiming that hormonal birth control alters attraction, personality, and relationship outcomes. In this video, two creators go further than most — asserting that stopping birth control can leave someone completely unattracted to their partner, and that people on hormonal contraception are drawn to “less masculine facial features.” These claims reflect a broader wave of anti-contraception content that dresses up unsupported assertions in the language of neuroscience and relationships. Current evidence does not support the claim that hormonal birth control meaningfully changes attraction or partner selection.
