#self-made man
Self-Made Man: My Year Disguised as a Man is a 2006 book written by journalist Norah Vincent, recounting an 18-month experiment in which she disguised herself as a man—"Ned"—and then integrated into traditionally male-only venues, such as a bowling league, a monastery, and a men’s support group. She also described her experiences as a man in the workplace, in strip clubs, and on dates with women.
In order to effectively pose as a male, Vincent acquired a buzz cut and flattened her chest using a sports bra. She also hired a makeup artist to fake a five o'clock shadow and trained for months to imitate a deeper male voice.
Near the end of the experiment, Norah Vincent had a mental breakdown, and had to check herself into an institution for depression.

My first real attempt at ‘No Shave November’ - Day 20.
I’ve always struggled to grow anything in this area of my beard, so now it’s coming in at 3 years and 11 months on T, to say I’m relieved is an understatement.
