they called themselves with male names, so they were transmen

Those authours would be surprised, but even J.K. Rowling took male name and surname for her first books (and later for crime fiction books, so those are taken seriously). And you know why? Because with female name no one would even consider looking at her books and publishing. And for her crime fiction books to be taken seriously. I guess now JKR is transmen too? According to this article logic. So this means that those TRA who are attacking her - are just transphobic! Hehe.

And same happened in history gazillion of times. If woman wanted to do ANYTHING the only way was is to pretend that she is a man (or to have a lot of money left from dead husband). They were still woman, they were not thinking they are man, they just had no other choice.

I guess the Bronte sisters. Alice Sheldon , Louisa May Alcott, and George Eliot were really all men! I hate how they never acknowledge how society was even MORE misogynistic and oppressive or women then it is now!

The Bronte sisters must all have been dudes as well, right?
