It'd be fascinating to be able to find out (although almost impossible at this point) how these women's gender identities differed or didn't differ from other women of the same time period and area before whatever incident caused them to become sworn virgins. In other words, did this particularly draw naturally butch or trans women, or is it something totally different?
