10 years ago, I read a book called The Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent. It recounts a butch lesbian’s 18 months living as a man. After reading the book, I thought it was kind of fun and quirky.
Well, apparently, it was not so fun for Norah. The experience caused her major depression and PTSD, and she was never able to overcome it.
Sadly, in 2022, Norah committed doctor-assisted suicide.
I’m not a psychologist, so I cannot say what it was about her experience living as a man created so much PTSD. If I were to speculate, I might be majorly off-base.
But this story will haunt me.
