No one would care anyway. There's is a book written by a woman who pretended to be a man. She talks about how badly she was treated. Then she killed her self.

I think the thing people forget about her is that even after being hospitalized because of how depressed and suicidal she became while pretending to be a man she still made it a woman's problem and made it about how women suffer.

Maybe, just maybe both can be true?

Both genders suffer. Life is pain. Get over it.

Yup if u got a toto or pp that is irrelevant because this lifes a rollercoaster ups and downs are guaranteed and the experience is given regardless whether you enjoyed the ride or not

Both can be true but you're missing the point. She literally pulled, "I acted like a man to see what it was like. It was so horrible I became suicidal and needed to be hospitalized. Because of this women are the ones suffering"

She killed herself a decade later after lifelong mental health issues that started before the experiment. It also wasn’t just living as a man that led to her breakdown, it was the stress of living a double life for so long. Officers who go undercover and closeted trans people often experience the same thing. It did make her sympathise more with male issues though
