Reminded me about James Barry (Margaret Ann Bulkley), who I mentioned in other topic here. The only way to work as surgeon was to be a man. At first she just wanted to study as man (women could not study in universities), and then run to Latin America, where she could be surgeon under her real name. However, Latin America was conquered during that time, so she stayed as a man. And she did a lot of good stuff, like forcing hygiene in hospitals she was rulling. And she was either one of the first, or first person who repeatedly performed caesarean section without mother dying. Obviously she is claimed to be trans too, and main argument is "why she not said she is woman then and was playing a man?". I don't know - maybe she did not wanted tribunal and imprisonment?
