This podcast forgot what women are

It sounded like a great premise, to focus on women in history who have been forgotten. But the first pilot episode isn't even about a woman, it's about a man who decided to live as a woman. So women can't even have women's history?! Clearly, the podcast creators forgot what a woman even is.
