it’s really weird how all the touted historical examples of “women” who “pretended” to be men seem to fall into two extremes:
1. women who did it for maybe a couple years at most on an extremely limited basis and usually not full time, died as women.
2. people who were men 100% of the time their whole adult lives and made explicit instructions to a trusted person to ensure they were remembered as a man even after death.
gee it’s almost like these two groups were totally separate and have completely different motivations or something. almost like it’s super obvious the 2nd category were all trans men and the only reason they aren’t remembered as men is due to transphobia.
