A woman who has been a man previously,could probably rule the world

If such a thing could happen in real life,i think it would be a great chance for that person,if that person is poor.
Why so? Well,i think women born as women,often they dont fully realize the power they have,for lack of self-confidence,and the ones who realize it,well,they have an Onlyfans and are billionares in Dubai. But,as you was once a man,you perfectly know that a woman can obtain everything she wants,just playing flirty from time to time. Also,women sometimes take decisions out of love (like men do too) so they dont take the "rational choice" (aka money),while,being a man that just happen to have the "instrument" of a female body,you could take the "rational choice" without feelings being involved. So you could use that power at 100% and,starting from the bottom,with the right choices in who to seduce,in a few years you could become one of the most powerful people in the world. Dont believe this? Well look at many "online celebrities" who are milionares or some models,actresses,and probably politicians too,without big talent at all..they are your proof right there. It requires brain,of course,so thats a merit.

About transgender people: that would work too if they look exactly like a woman,and keep their previous life hidden,to avoid prejudice in their rise for power.

The thing with this kind of movies is that they always potray the "alpha male" becoming a woman,but rarely the opposite situation. If we had to make a society hierarchy,it would be kind of like this one:

1- "Alpha" males (rich,playboy)
2- "Alpha" women (aka beautiful women)
3- Women of medium/low beauty
4- Men of medium/low handsomeness,and of medium/poor economical status

So,when in those kind of movies they potray the alpha male becoming a woman,its funny and he wants to go back to his old self,because he actually "lost power" in this transformation,and this makes him become wiser,more respectful etc. its kind of like in the movies where a rich guy for some reasons has to live like a poor guy,and becomes more respectful of poor people. But,if they made some movies where the man of medium/low handsomeness and medium/poor economical status becomes a woman,you would see his life actually improve! Because in that case,he goes up in the power hierarchy. So,it would be a totally different kind of movie,and it would be very interesting to see,in my opinion! In the movie "The Hot Chick" they make the beautiful girl (2nd in the hierarchy) become the man of medium/low handsomeness and medium/poor economical status,so the dynamic is similar to "Switch" but in the meantime we learn that the man became the hot woman,so he went up in the hierarchy. But sadly we rarely see what he does in the movie. I guess doing a movie like that would be a damage to the Hollywood propaganda where women are always victim of patriarchy and blah blah. Thats a shame.
