Did anyone study the opposite? I remember reading about a woman that pretended to be a man for a few weeks to write a book about it, and she described it as something like "soul crushingly lonely".

Norah Vincent. She was particularly beloved by the manosphere because her experience pretending to be a man for 18 months (not just a few weeks) lead to her "conversion" from a feminist to realising that men too have their own problems.

Thought, she personally was already libertarian, and highly critical of trans people, so she reads more like a TERF imo.

Sadly passed away via assisted suicide a few years ago.
