53-year-old journalist Norah Vincent opted for assisted suicide on July 6, 2022, years after experiencing what it was like to live as a man.

Journalist Norah Vincent and author of Self-Made Man wanted to experience life as the opposite gender so she could write about it. She was a lesbian, not transgender, but her inquisitive nature made her curious about gender and identity. In 2003, she hired a makeup artist to help her paint stubble on her face to match her short, dark hair. She worked out to build the muscles on her back, wore rectangular-framed glasses, and strapped her breasts against her chest. And with the help of a Julliard vocal coach, she was even able to train her voice to sound more manly. Norah Vincent was determined. There was no stopping her from switching genders. But what she found in living life as the opposite sex wasn’t “male privilege” — instead, Vincent learned what it was like to be at an incredible disadvantage.
For 18 months, Norah pretended to be a man under a new name: Ned. She did “manly” things and joined a bowling league, a Roman Catholic monastery, and an awareness group for men. She went to strip clubs and dated women. She even worked in a male-dominated industry. But despite these adventures, Ned didn’t feel alive, free, or fluid. In fact, Ned was wearing Norah down, and she began to fall into a deep depression.
“I suspect people will go into this thinking, oh, it’s written by a lesbian, she’s going to be male-bashing all the way down the line,” Norah said during a phone interview. “But my experience was one that made me feel very vulnerable and made me feel a lot of pain and difficulty. While all of us in the post-feminist movement are convinced that women have always had it worse and men have always had it better, it took me stepping into their shoes to realize that that’s not true at all.”
Norah’s immersive journalism was anything but empowering. She felt alone and defeated as Ned. “Men are suffering,” Norah said. “They have different problems than women have, but they don’t have it better. They need our sympathy, they need our love, and they need each other more than anything else. They need to be together.”
Norah’s mental state started to decline. She fell into a crippling depression as Ned and had to check herself into a mental facility while finishing Self-Made Man. Her experience in the psychiatric hospital inspired her next work, Voluntary Madness: My Year Lost and Found in the Loony Bin, in 2008. It was another immersive piece, and instead of disguising herself as a man, she disguised herself as a mental patient. But Norah’s artistic expression of assuming different identities only continued to cost her psychologically. “Still, getting lost, sometimes dangerously so, in my work is nothing new,” said Norah. “I began my writing life as an immersion journalist. I put myself inside other people’s lives, and I purported to write from their perspective, but inescapably, I did so by means of my own.”
Norah Vincent’s depression never went away, and she attempted suicide in 2014. “It bears remembering something that Robin Williams mentioned in an interview that he had given years before he committed suicide in August, 2014. He was discussing addiction, but the import of what he said, which was wisely cautionary and profound, applies equally to depression and suicidal intent. It never goes away,” wrote Norah. “It lies in wait for the moments when we are weakest. Managing it is a constant battle. We must be ever vigilant. Even so, we do not always prevail.” While Norah was incredibly self-aware and reflective, it seems she never got over the mental difficulties and setbacks she faced from immersing herself in her work. In the summer of 2022, Norah finally succumbed to her pain and died at the age of 53 via assisted death in Switzerland.
Closing Thoughts
Male privilege in the modern era is a myth. In 2020, it was found that 70% of homeless individuals were men. Men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women. Men make up 80% of all murder victims worldwide. Men make up just over half of the workforce, and yet they make up 90% of all workplace fatalities. Like Norah was saying, men are in pain, and post-modern feminism refuses to acknowledge their suffering. It’s unfortunate that Norah had to figure this out the hardest way possible, and I hope we can all find a way to help her rest by finally helping men to heal.
Now indeed, can We all agree on a 2 gender species? Now based on that little factoid, now we are the creators of these so called society where men do most of the hard labour, most of the problem and solutions faced daily and without rest under the most precarious, unaccessible, dificult and dirty, but we love it. That is something women don’t period.
Homosexuals always have problems of adjustment
every religion there is does not ban it for no reason
The world famous Maudsley psychiatric hospital in london had several top experts
who returned sexual deviants to normality
several BBC artists were among these
Prof Ruth Seiffert helped many to adjust and be normal
if we could do it then why not now ?
it would save many children from harm and possible suicide
Even most males aren’t real “men”.
Well, I’m happy to give Norah/Ned points for honesty.
Men are more likely to be suicides — a statistic NN should have looked at carefully before charging into the manosphere. Or trying anyway.
Yes men are more likely to be psychos or geniuses and it’s a pity most womyn can’t seem to grasp this elementary fact. Why is there no female Mozart? Because there is no female Jack the Ripper.
All so sad. Like much of real life.
She needed to talk more about Race, which feminism is a distraction from, put there as part of a Race War. We already note that feminists turn a blind eye to Moslem rape; Arab rape habits had got their women covered up but the men find fresh fields in Europe, where the women had been half-naked but safe. Ignoring Race, you are not saying anything
The ADL is America is behind all the Wokeness that has infested America, the Gender wars, the white hate, the fake terror of any group other then white.
Yep after Germany America was the next country chosen to be totally destroyed.
America just resembles a Mentally ill patient on Crack.
In every one of her body’s cells was an XX chromosome and in every one of mine is an XY chromosome. No style makeovers, habit changes, name adjustments, hormone blockers or enhancers can ever erase that. And those who say men can get pregnant are talking nonsense for sinister reasons, that’s the only thing that explains it. But if we don’t stop with this anti-scientific “you are what you think you are are” hogwash, and dispense with this new faith-based fairytale thinking, then in 100 years they’ll be back to burning witches. And it will be men who say they are women who will burn real women.

At last We all Agree on a two gender species, now what divides Us from each other is out design, We love to fix things, fight, solve problems most complicated and impossible, WE love and enjoy it. Dirt is our second skin, We master those hard and arduous Jobs to bring food to the table and make the nucleolus family work as is been mdoing so for thousands of years only to be harassed by eunuchs and mutilated men who are in peril of disappearing, We love all of the above and WE look forward drinking a alcoholic drink to those who know who they are. THANK YOU MEN.
This imbecile would have been unhappy in whatever Guise zer adopted…and thus is more an ‘illustration’ of modern moral ills and loneliness..the lack of purpose and confusion regarding place and belonging.. (all symptoms of ‘modernist’..’nominalist’..’materialist’ so called societies)…
than it is some form of pro male missive from a sympathetic non cis lemon with a crew cut….
lmbeciles with no higher purpose.. really have no purpose… the journey starts with the ahem ‘Self’.. and as we see here.with this character
ends as somebody else…
in a plot….
what a sad sad story
“…she disguised herself as a mental patient.” .. Disguising herself as a mental patient wouldn’t have taken much effort since she was already a natural at being mentally ill. Still, some of her observations were rather compelling and her story interesting. I certainly never would have thought a lesbian would express that kind of empathy for men. I do hope that dog in the photo is ok.
I think we will see a dramatic rise in suicides in the very near future by those gender-confused morons who have been buying into the criminally insane “gender dysphoria” wave promoted so heavily by satanic Jews. There’s going to be a whole lot of buyer’s remorse from that heavily promoted shit-show of mental illness on parade. Then also feeding the soon to come suicide frenzy will be a lot of poor slobs completely ruined by the cratering economy, another war on humanity fomented by organized Jewry.
thats good news !
so more perverted idiots die early
so better for human race !
Men are from Mars…
Women are from Venus…
All other genders are from Uranus ….
As a male working with mostly women I was harassed, bullied, stabbed it the back and had political correctness used as a weapon against me. I was treated badly for 30 years. No one ever believed me and if they had of been men I could have punched them and it would have been over. Western women are pure evil in it’s most potent form and will be responsible for our destruction.
In africa there is a simple cure for homosexuals
we had a woman there who would entice girls into her home and brutally rape them with a strap on dick
the elders in the village have a ruling called ” corrective rape ” and 6 men sneaked into this womans home in the night and gang raped her
she did not reoffend
Surely it is obvious to any of this site’s readers that the truly dominant members of society have always been the psychopathic elite that have lorded it up over us all since time began, and the male versus female debate is just another version of left v right: eg divide and rule. Having said that, historically, men and women were very much trapped in their gender roles, due to lack of contraception and lack of basic machinery – leaving women trapped at home with laborious time-consuming housework and childcare, while men injured and killed themselves doing back breaking, dirty work, too much of the time. Instead of squabbling with each other, perhaps we should be turning our attention to the hidden hand that rules over us. Right now, they have us just where they want us, which riles me.

@ FELIX
I m on distance to islam but this i greet
that they know to keep their women short .
there is nothing worst than the loose
mouth of germanic feminists !
the New Guineans had the right culture :
they had womens houses + mens houses
strictly separated. their life was more
regulated than ours . we can even learn
from primitives !
antivax–the junior school I went to was from 1874 and two pillars had “boys” and “girls” carved in granite, for the two different entrances, but 1960s Communism changed all that
Shanna–in Africa a cure just “happens” to fit in with sadistic violence
why is it highly offensive to paint a blackface but perfectly ok to wear a manface?
maybe i should stick on a jewface to find out … no can do, the smell of chicken grease is overpowering.
I will repeat an old point about “identifying as…”. It began when anti-Whites were saying to us “Yes, you are White, but you do not have to IDENTIFY as White, you can be human or a mammal or a Communist or some other grouping, but do not choose that group”. Some of them will even deny that “White” exists. Other people heard this advice and took it the wrong way, thinking you can identify as something you are not, not just something you are but bad as something to “be”. Rightists would note immediately that the Left do not mind you identifying as Black, Moslem, Woman, Chinese, Amerindian, Jewish, Socialist, homosexual, trans, an animal, a furry, an elf or angel, a demon, a Revolutionary, lots of things, but not White
