The Surgeon

This is a funny eye test meme, or maybe not so funny.  It shows all the letters very clearly in the 2009 eye test.  Then they are very blurry in the 2019 eye test, haha.



And have you heard of surgeon James Barry?  She was a woman ahead of her time who died in 1865.  She would not have been allowed to study and practice as a female surgeon in those days.  It was not until her death in 1865 that they discovered she was not a man.

She must have gone to great lengths to hide. I doubt one could take testerone like they can today.

there are a few other people that dressed as a man too, either by choice or by the need to appear as a man to study or work. thankfully now we dont have to do that. people can do what they want and be who they want :)

That chart - so true!
And thankfully Dr. Barry's world is not our reality.
