It didn’t seem to matter what I exposed myself to, the doctors would examine me and tell me I was a perfectly healthy woman. I could eat food grown in contaminated soil; I could go into the most radioactive parts of a nuclear power plant; I could swim in industrial runoff. Maybe I did it all because I hoped something might change me back into a man; maybe I did it because I had a death wish.
But did I do any of it to help science? Or accomplish tasks no other human could safely do?
Nope.
Mostly I just filmed YouTube videos. I’d scoop a glass of gunk from a highly polluted river, and people would like and subscribe in masses. I’m not sure anyone watching it actually believed it, and I found it weird that it attracted so many viewers. But I guess people enjoy seeing someone put themselves through something that should absolutely kill them.
