I think there are bad parts of both genders- would this story be much different if it was a trans woman working in a female super upscale department store, and coming to the same conclusion, but that she'd rather stay a man?
I think the difference is that it would be less interesting to me.
What I like about this article is that it's (for me) a rare case of an article that doesn't highlight the advantages of being a man, or the disadvantages of being a woman.
