[lbo-talk] seeing things as a man

[B.]

I'm still wondering if anyone here's read Norah
Vincent Neale's Self-Made Man, a journalist's
undercover life as a man for about 18 months that
resulted in her going to a mental hospital and
psychotherapy, towards the end, due to the emotional
and personality crises the experience caused. The book
came out within the last few months.

Not sure what the gist of her take on the experience
was.

She took the testosterone road to manhood

An author's female-to-male transformation has turned
out to be more than just sexual.

What makes a man a man? How much of our sex
differences are cultural, how much hard-wired biology?
Who better to ask than Max Wolf Valerio - a
49-year-old man who was once a woman?
