       Fascinating NY Times article about an Albanian tradition that allows women who don't want the traditional female role to declare themselves men.   No one ever considered it transgender, now or in the past.   Fascinating that the NY Times even ran this.  The catch is that the women have to take an oath of celibacy.  Reminds me of something I learned in women's studies class back in the day:  history shows that women are allowed to have sex and independence just not at the same time.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/08/world/europe/sworn-virgins-albania.html
